Cason's Cousins

This post is LONG overdue! The week of the 4th of July, Toby, Cason, and I packed up and went to Lubbock. We stayed there for the entire week and pretty much had to move into and take over Granny and Pawpaw's house. They were awesome for putting up with us. Cason LOVED spending time with his Lubbock family. He thinks his cousins are great. Here are a few pictures:

8 Months!

Happy 8 month birthday little boy!

At 8 months Cason is loving life. He loves his new found freedom of crawling everywhere. He is still standing and pulling up on things and as I blogged about earlier, he walked by pushing his walker toy across the living room! Cason is changing every day. He has started to have some stranger anxiety. Today he cried for the first time when I left him at my aunts house. He has never cried when I have left him. It broke my heart. He has FINALLY stared saying some sounds with consonants! I have been a little worried about that for a while. Yesterday I officially stopped breastfeeding. I am a little sad but I know life will be a little easier now. Cason's Favorite Things:
Favorite Food: Apple and Blueberries
Favorite Snack: Sweet Potato Puffs
Favorite Book: Where's The Monster?
Favorite Activity: Following mommy and daddy around and bath time
Favorite Toy: Piano Walker

Cason's First Haircut

Cason got his first haircut yesterday! He was getting awfully hairy! He had a few hairs that were hanging down in his eyes and hair that was growing over his ears. He also had a couple of adorable curls on his neck!
Here are a couple of before pictures.


I needed a haircut really bad so we decided to kill 2 birds with one stone and get Cason's hair cut too! We took him to see Dana who cuts my hair. She was great with him!
It looks like Cason is saying, "Daddy Help Me"!

In this picture it looks like Cason is saying, "What is that thing and what are you going to do with it?"

He did cry a little. He DOES NOT like people to mess with his hair. Thank goodness he's not a girl and I don't have to do a lot to his hair every day!
Here is my handsome man after the big event.

This has nothing to do with is haircut, but Cason pushed his walker across our livingroom tonight!

These Shoes Are Made For Walking

This week Cason got his first pair of big boy shoes. Toby and I figured that he better get used to wearing shoes more often because it won't be long before he's walking. He got a pair of Stride Rite shoes for $20! They are normally $50. Really? People pay that much for infant shoes that they will only wear for 4 months? I shouldn't judge, I probably would have paid full price. Only the best for my little man!

Cason's new shoes

From Cason, "Mom these things are perfect to chew on, thanks!"

Yesterday, July 9th, was also our 4th wedding anniversary. We had a good day.
First we ate lunch at my most favorite grocery store EVER!

Then we went to eat ice cream at this AWESOME ice cream store! Another one of my favs.

Next Toby and I went to get a couples massage. It is becoming our anniversary tradition to get a couples massage instead of buying each other presents. Look closely at the name of the massage place!

To end the perfect day we bought Cason his shoes. I have loved every minute of being married to Toby! He is the perfect husband!

All American Hunk

Here is my All American Hunk on the 4th of July.

We spent the 4th in Lubbock with Toby's family and are here the entire week. On Saterday Toby, Cason and I went to 4th on Broadway with Aunt Tory and Cousin Travis. It was very HOT.


Cason is still recovering from his 2nd cold this summer :( but he is still acting like his normal self for the most part. Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks.

7 Months and Peeing on Mommy's Head

We have been busy!
Cason turned 7 months on the 18th. He is now crawling, sitting, and pulling up and standing all by himself. Today I looked over and he had grabbed hold of the safety gate and was standing all by himself! Cason also loves using Toby and I as jungle gyms (we enjoy it too)!
7 month picture. It is getting harder and harder for little man to sit still to take his picture!

On the 14th Cason and his cousin Reid were dedicated to the Lord at church. Granny and Pawpaw, BeBe and Grandad, and many friends all came to watch. After church we had lunch at my sisters to celebrate.


After lunch Cason and I drove with my parents to College Station and spent the whole week there! It was fun except Cason had a nasty cold and went to the doctor twice. My parents let me sleep late every day that I was there. They are awesome! Cason enjoyed getting spoiled rotten too!

Sunday was of course Toby's First Father's Day. Cason gave him a gift card to go play golf at Tour 18. Toby deserves it because he is the best daddy ever! He loves his little boy more than anything in the world. I love watching them play together and cuddle together. I think I have said this before but Toby can make Cason laugh harder than anyone. Cason lights up every night when he sees his daddy come through the door. Thank you Toby for being a great father and husband. I love you!

And last but not least, a fun story. Last night I was kneeling down by the bathtub to give Cason a bath and Toby was behind me getting Cason undressed. All of the sudden, I felt something wet on my back and head. At first I thought Toby was ringing out a wet washcloth on me then I heard him say, "Oh no!". I knew immediately what was happening. Cason was peeing on my head! Before either of us had time to react he had literally soaked me. I had pee running down my face. We could do nothing but laugh for a while. I have questioned Toby several times if he had planned that and he swears he didn't. I wish I had a picture!

Crawling at 6 Months!

Yes, it's true, my little man is crawling. The past couple of days he has been kind of shaky but today he has really taken off. He loves to follow me and Hercules around.

We had to start baby proofing.


Cason says, "Do you really think this is going to last?"

Since I am way behind on posting here is what we have been up to during the month of May.
1. Cason went to Arkansas to surprise his Great Geema for her 80th birthday party.

2. Holden and Melodie came to visit.

3. I finished out the school year. Yay! I am a stay at home mommy for 2 months! We can have lots of play dates with our friends!
