Sweet Friends

Today Cason and I had so much fun with some sweet friends. First, some of my sweet friends from Lakeside came over to visit---Kathy, Jennifer, and Gayla. Jennifer and Gayla both had little boys last month and they are just too precious. I don't think Cason knew what to think about two little babies being in his house :). He was very sweet to the babies though and wasn't upset at all when I held them---thank goodness. Jennifer and Gayla you both look amazing!!!

Cason is in the background of this picture with Ranch dripping off his chin---LOL

After nap, we met Madi and Lucy and their mamas at the splash park to play for a little bit. He enjoyed it but was not his usual self. Cason has been a little fussy this afternoon but I am going to assume it has something to do with his teeth. He cut one of his 2 year molars this weekend and he is currently working on the others----poor thing. I hope the other 3 come through quickly and we (he) will be finished cutting teeth for a long while---yea!

28 Weeks and more...

I am 28 weeks pregnant now and getting very big. Since my doctor will induce at 39 weeks, I officially have 11 weeks or less to go. That doesn't sound bad until I think about the fact that I have until August 29th-----it is going to be 11 VERY HOT WEEKS! And of course all Cason wants to do everyday is play outside.

Pregnancy notes:
--Feeling good most of the time
--Having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions. These have been present since 17 weeks.
--VERY frequent trips to the bathroom
--Trouble sleeping at night
--Current cravings: orange juice, fruit, hot sandwiches, frozen yogurt, and lemonade
--Feeling baby move a lot

Cason--25 months

I'm not planning on doing monthly updates on Cason since he is 2 now. It will probably more like every 3 or 4 months. However, I had some time today so I thought I would just go ahead and do an update :)


Cason, you are 25 months old now. What have you been up do this month?

-You weigh around 34-35 pounds.
-You are wearing size 2T and size 3T clothing. It really depends on the brand. I wish all these clothing places would make their clothes to fit the same so I would always know what size to get you.
-You wear a size 5 diaper and a size 7.5 wide shoe.
-You take one nap a day and sleep 11-12 hours at night. You have always been an early riser just like your mama.
-You are still a picky eater but I can tell from all your cute fat rolls that clearly you are getting enough food.
-You are talking more everyday and really starting to put some small sentences together. You are also a little copycat so we have to watch everything we say.
-You can identify most of your alphabet letters and tell me the sound that they make.
-You can count to ten, when YOU want to. You will not do this on demand. You also have a tendency to skip number one and just start with number 2 :)
-You still love to call yourself "Ca". If you don't want to do something, you just say, "No Ca", as in no Cason is not going to do that---LOL.
-We are NOT potty training you until after little Corbin gets here but your doctor did think that it would be a good idea to get you a potty and just start discussing it with you. Of course we got you the Elmo potty and you love it. You even went number 1 in the potty the very first time you sat on it (May 17th)---your daddy and I were SHOCKED! You love to sit on it right before bath time every night and pretend like you are going to use it but you usually do not. You have only actually gone to the bathroom in it twice so far. We are definitely not pushing you to do this, so take all the time you need :)
-You have a good arm and have been able to throw balls well for a while now but you have recently started catching them as well. Your daddy loves to play catch with you! We have to really work with you on not throwing things that are not balls and not throwing things at other children and expecting them to catch.
-You LOVE to be outside and boy is it already hot!!! I try to take you out early in the mornings because it just gets too hot. Your daddy usually takes you out again when he gets home from work. You love the splash park and would be content going there every single day :)

Here you are at the splash park with your girlfriends :)

Your newest little girlfriend (or maybe I should say Corbin's future girlfriend) was born last week. Lucy's little sister Lily is ADORABLE!!! Congrats to the Harrison family on their new bundle of joy!!!

Cason--25 months

Corbin update :)

It is so nice to finally have a name for this sweet boy :)

I went for my 3 hour glucose test on Tuesday and I got my results back today. Thank goodness I passed again just like with Cason. I asked the nurse if I just barely passed or if I was pretty normal and she said my results were completely normal. I guess the 1 hour test and I just don't get along very well. I am just so happy that I passed that I don't even care that I had to sit in the office all day and have my arm pricked with needles :)

While I was at the doctor they did a sonogram---a very quick one! Baby Corbin is weighing around 2 pounds 10 ounces and he is around the 66% at this point. The doctor said they are going to keep a good eye his weight though because Cason was big so she is pretty sure this little boy will be big as well. His heart rate was around 133 during the sono and he was head down facing my right side (no wonder I always feel him kicking on my right side all the time).

We go for a 3D/4D sono in a couple of weeks so I am very excited for that!!!

More Water Fun

We took Cason to the splash/spray park by our house. This place also has a HUGE playground and the spray park just opened on Monday. We originally planned to let him play in the sand box first and then go play in the water so that he could wash the sand off. However, when we parked the car he saw the water and about had a fit to get over there, so no sandbox today.

He had the best time. The water turns off every few minutes or so and you just have to push a button to turn it back on----every time the water would stop, you could hear our child yelling, "Wawa on, wawa back on". When it would come back on, he would clap and yell, "YEA!" and then continue running around. He was NOT happy when it was time to go. And all I have heard all day is, "Wawa park, wawa play!".

I think it is safe to say that we will be visiting there often. I think it's great because I don't have to get into a bathing suit and get wet---he can run around and get soaking wet all by himself :)

Sprinkler Fun

It was hot outside this afternoon so Scott thought it would be funny to turn the sprinklers on while we were playing in the backyard. Cason's poor clothes got soaking wet so we just stripped him down and let him run around in the buff---he had the BEST time. All he needed was a spray bottle with water and the sprinklers to have a blast :)
