Cason-Eight months!

DSC05132

This month was BY FAR the hardest to take pictures! That boy does.not.sit.still. Like at all. Ever. He has changed so much in the past month!

-Rocking size 3 Pampers Swaddlers

-Wears mostly 9 month clothing

-I’m excited to find out how much he weighs at his doctor’s appointment next month! My boy loves to eat!

PS-there is a weird spot on my camera lens in case you are wondering Smile

-He has decided that he doesn’t really want baby food anymore. Please pass the real stuff. The only problem with that is little bro has ZERO teeth! Ha! His favorite right now is a freshly baked sweet potato. He also enjoys rice and beans from the mexican restaurant, or pretty much whatever Mommy is eating. He is still eating a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast and a few 5-7 ounce bottles throughout the day.

-Have you noticed his new trick? That little tongue is out about 75% of his awake time. Not only has he mastered sitting up, but this month he also has mastered getting into a seated position from lying down AND CRAWLING! It took him about 2-3 days to figure out the whole crawling thing, but once he got it, he was ON THE MOVE!

-Sleep is going ok. Lately, he’s been getting up once a night for a bottle. By the grace of God, my husband always takes the night shift so I can sleep. God bless that man. Cason has also been napping for longer stretches. This past weekend he took 3 hour afternoon naps and it took us a sweet forever to get him to bed both nights, so we are working on that!

-C is a TOTAL Daddy’s boy. 100%. Probably because of their nightly rendezvous. At least I’m Noah’s favorite!

-It takes every bit of strength and patience I have to dress that boy in the mornings. I’m talking about laying him on the floor, holding him down with my legs and trying to pull a onesie over his head as fast as humanly possible. He will.not.be.still. Flip this way, then the other way, kick kick kick his legs, turn this way, roll over, flail his chunky arms, kick me in the leg, crawl away. It’s exhausting. And I usually end up sweating.

-We moved him up to a big boy convertible carseat. He was just too heavy to lug around in his pumpkin seat and since Brad drops them off at school and I pick them up, we had to carry it in and out of school every day. We already had two convertible carseats that Noah used, so C got promoted!

-Ok this is gross but I want documentation for when I’m old and want to reminisce. Cason has more earwax than anybody I’ve ever met. Not that I go around checking people’s earwax. After every bath, I q-tip the outside of his ear and yall would not believe.

-C LOVES Noah so much! He follows him around and just laughs at every thing Noah does.

-He is still saying da-da and that’s it. I’m working on him though!

We love you sweet baby C!

Noah’s first stitches

Last Tuesday, I got a call from Noah’s preschool that he was playing under a table and it somehow collapsed on him…and that it was bad. I rushed to school to find this….

noah stiches 1

He was surprisingly not screaming his head off, as I would have been if it happened to me! He didn’t even act like it was hurting at all unless you touched around it. His pediatrician’s office was closed for lunch so we headed to the local MedCenter. Thankfully my friend works there and was able to give him the stitches.

EIGHT OF THEM!

noah stitches 2

Getting the numbing shots was AWFUL. Imagine Noah screaming, crying, while three of us hold him down and him saying “Mommy I just want you to hold me!!!” Rip my heart out. :(

The stitches had to stay in for five days and we got them out yesterday! Once he got the stitches in, he did great with it. He never complained about it hurting at all! I am so proud of him for being so brave!

And today he started pre-k!

first day of pre-k

You can see his scabs on his head. I’ve been rubbing Mederma on it like crazy!

Cason started his new class today, too!

first day of school

They love each other so much and I LOVE THEM!
