Cute baby boy :)

11 Months Old!!!

Wow, I can't believe my baby is almost 1---he is growing up too fast!!! I am definitely dreading next month---within a span of 8 days Cason will be 1 and I will turn 30!

Cason, you are 11 months old---what have you been up to this past month?

*You started walking a couple of weeks ago and you are getting better at it each day.
*You mostly wear 12 month clothes but you can also wear 18 month clothes just fine.  
*You still wear size 4 diapers.  
*You drink 4 bottles a day and eat 3 solid meals. Bottles still aren't your favorite thing but you are getting so much better about taking them.  
*You take two naps a day and sleep 7:30 - 7:00 at night.  
*You love to wave at everyone  
*You are babbling more and more. You can say mama (though I'm not sure you know it's me) and bye bye. When you say bye bye--you wave your little arm--so cute!  
*You love to show us "arms up" and "arms down".  
*Your FAVORITE thing right now is anything that you can open and close---cabinets, doors, books, toys, etc.
*You also are in love with toes right now. Here is a video of you trying to play with mine---LOL

1 Month Old...

11 Months Old

(This is the best picture we could get)

This picture shows why---we kept having to chase you!

My little cutie!

Here are some pictures from the past week of my little cutie! There are several of him practicing his walking skills. He likes to walk with his arms out---it is so adorable!

Here is another video of him walking. He is still very wobbly but he is getting better everyday. Each day he grows more confident of his new skill and walks more and more. I'm sure before I know it, he will be running!!! 

Easter Bunny :)

Look who's walking!!!

Let the fun begin!!!

Waffles and Walking

This morning I gave Cason a frozen Eggo Waffle to chew on and he LOVED it. I guess it tasted good and felt good on his gums. I tried to take it away to cook it and boy he got MAD. So I just let him chew on it cold.  It seems like the last several pictures I've taken of him are in his high chair---I guess that is because it is the only place I can get him to sit still for very long--ha!

Walking update:
He has been able to take 5 or 6 steps in a row for a month and a half now. But he only does it if he is walking to one of us AND if we have a toy that he wants. At first, I kept thinking that he was going to start walking around any day but a month and a half later, I'm not so sure.

However, the past couple of days, he hast started getting much more interested in trying to walk. Now he will walk back and forth to different objects (like the chair to his exersaucer) all by himself.  He doesn't go far (just a few steps), but this is the first time that he has started walking to something other than us. Today I was behind him and I watched him let go of his exersaucer and walk at least 3 feet before he fell down. He was trying to make it to the coffee table. So I'm thinking it might be sooner rather than later but we'll see. I keep trying to get it on video but he never does it when I want him to.  When I can tell he is about to try, I always get to my camera too late---mostly because it is really hard to get your camera out and ready to go when you are trying to keep your baby from falling head first into some piece of furniture. Hopefully I will get a video soon though.

Testing mom and dad...

Cason's favorite things right now are opening/closing doors and cabinets, chasing Autumn, and throwing any and everything on the floor. He wants to drop toys, pacifiers, food, drinks, etc. He knows he is not supposed to throw his food/drink on the ground when he is in his hight chair. He understands the word no and always looks at us before he does something he is not supposed to do just to see what our reaction is going to be. It is hilarious!!! He will take his food and hold his hand out over the high chair and look at us like I'm about to drop this and what are you going to do??!!! He is so funny. We will tell him no and 95% of the time he won't drop it. When we tell him no, sometimes he gets mad and just puts the food in is mouth while whining and other times he just gets a mischievous grin on his face and puts the food back on the tray. I tried to get a good picture of his sneaky little smile but was unsuccessful. He does this ALL the time now and we just think it is too funny!

Here are some pictures from dinner and bath time last night. Yes there is food all over him but it is just easier to clean him up at the very end than throughout the entire meal. Last night he had gerber meat sticks (looks gross but he likes them), string cheese, and pureed broccoli/zucchini. And then after that he chewed on a frozen banana piece in his mesh feeder---what a mess!!! He definitely needed a bath.

Getting tired during dinner...

Holding a piece of cheese in his hand about to drop it on the floor but waiting on our response....

Testing us again with his sippy cup....
