Happy birthday to my sweet baby boy! I can't believe a year ago we were at the hospital and Cason had just been born---it seems like it was just yesterday. I feel so blessed that I have been able to stay home with Cason this past year and share so many special memories and firsts with him.
I love this little boy more than I could have ever imagined possible. I thank God every single day for blessing us with this precious baby and trusting me to be his mother. A year ago, I didn't know what it would be like to have a baby in our home and now I can't imagine spending a single day without him. Motherhood is just the most amazing/wonderful experience and I couldn't be any happier! It is such a gift to experience the world all over again through a child's eyes!
Cason you are 12 months old---what have you been up to this month?
*You are wearing 18-24 month clothes
*You wear a size 4 diapers but I think you will be graduating to a 5 very soon.
*You are a great walker now and even attempt a little jog at times.
*You can get into a standing position without pulling up on something.
*You can say dada now--although I still don't think you know what it means
*You are pointing at everything--sometimes for us to tell you what it is, and sometimes for us to hand you something that you need--like your milk, but mostly it means pick me up and take me to the object I am pointing at because I want to touch it (and possibly even put it in my mouth)
*In the last week and a half, you have officially moved on to whole milk and sippy cups. You haven't had a bottle in several days and I don't think you have even noticed.
*You drink milk with each of your 3 meals and you eat very little baby food now.
*You used to eat ANYTHING we would give you but you are starting to get more opinionated. Lately, you really like to put something in your mouth and then take it out (or spit it out) and look at it. If you decide that you like it, you put in back in your mouth and eat away. If not, you just spit it out and look for something new to try. GROSS!
*Your favorite food is CHEESE---just like your mom
*You LOVE to play chase around the house
*You got three upper teeth this month---April 16, April 19, and May 1st
*You love to clap at everything and bang objects together.
*You are quite the expert at throwing a good temper tantrum when you don't get your way.
*You have the cutest laugh when we tickle you.
*You have yet to meet a stranger---I keep waiting for you to get stranger anxiety but it hasn't happened yet. You love all people!

We took Cason to the doctor today for his well visit. Poor guy had to have 3 shots on his birthday :(
He was quite the handful in the office---he was into everything and just couldn't sit still. The doctor even laughed and asked us if we can even get him to sit still long enough to read a book to him--LOL. Everything was great---Cason is a healthy little boy. He did still have a little fluid in his ears from his last ear infection so we are going back in 3 weeks to have it checked out again. Hopefully all the fluid will be gone by then---If not, we are going for an ENT consult.
Riding in his car seat facing forward for the first time...
Birthday Boy
He sure can throw a good fit...
Playing with his new toy from Erin's sweet mom Pam. Thank you Pam--Cason has been playing with his birthday cake all day :)
We gave him a piece of birthday cake today as a special treat and he LOVED it!
His last monthly picture. It sure is a good thing I bought this onesie in a size 18 months because a 12 month onesie wouldn't have made it this long. It was a struggle to get him to lay there and be still so this is the only decent picture I could get.
Tired of taking pictures...
A year in review...
He LOVES his new toy...
