Daycare, Father's Day and Another Road Trip

Daddy and Cason showing off his belly.

Cason started daycare two days a week on his 2 month birthday. The ladies in his class are really sweet and he usually gives them big smiles so I guess that is a good sign. So far it isn't that bad for me because I work a little, clean a little and I can pick him up whenever I want. Not sure I'm ready for the real thing yet. :( We aso started him on baby doses of Zantac for his gas and grunty sleeping. The first night he slept 5 hours and the second night almost 6 1/2 hours! Then the third night he woke up about every hour. He has started to sleep a little bit longer again and there is less grunting and gas so I think it's working.  Unfortunately there is not less poop! We've had several episodes resulting in baths and one particularly bad episode where I just cut his shirt off him and then we had the bath. It was not worth trying to save!!


Finally sleeping on his back in his own crib!

Terry had a fishing tournament out of town so Cason and I made the trip again to Plano.  My Dad brought his truck to Austin so Terry could pull his boat and we could take the Suburban.  We apparently do not know how to pack light.

Riding and sleeping on the way to Plano

We got to see all the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins and celebrated Father's Day and birthdays.  Terry ended up missing us and drove from south of San Antonio back to Plano on Saturday.  I think it seemed like a better idea before he got on the road, but he had the boat so he took his brother and dad fishing for Father's Day on Sunday.

Hanging out with Uncle Brian and Grandpa

We are missing a lot of pictures from the weekend but I can't find my memory card reader or camera cord (I'm guessing they are in the same place) and everything else is on my mom's camera. The few pictures I have were on my phone.  Hopefully sooner than later I will have an updated post on the past several weeks of pictures.

2 Months

I cannot believe we have already hit 2 months (technically in 2 days- June4)!  Cason is growing so fast and changing every day.  Except for a little period over Memorial Day weekend he has mellowed out and lost most of his fussiness.  He still has his moments but no more colicky screaming every night.  I am crossing my fingers this new trend continues.

He has been trying to change up his schedule on me.  He now eats almost every 2 hours but usually only about 2 ounces. He has to maintain his new physique. ;) There is usually a short play time and nap after each feeding.  Cason has also decided he doesn't want to sleep much at night. He still has one longer stretch but has a little trouble in the middle of the night and is usually up and ready to go around 6:30 - 7:00.  We have our morning walk, a nap and start the day over again.

A few things about Mr. Cason at 2 months:

• He has really started to smile. He loves to be talked to and will usually reward you with a big grin.  He almost has a laugh.  He grins while he falls asleep and has started making a laugh noise now.
• He talks back.  When you start talking he coos and tries to make his own baby talk.
• He is finding his legs.  He no longer keeps his legs drawn up and tries to push back against you.
• He either loves or hates his paci.  He loves it at nap time but hates it if he is really mad.
• He loves to play on his back on a blanket or play mat.  He will follow the rattles with his eyes and tried to grab hanging toys.
• He is still not a fan of tummy time but is really trying to control his head. He pulls his head back to look around when you try to burp him. 
• He does not like it when you touch the top of his head. 

A few 2 month pictures from Grammy's photoshoot.

Look at that belly!

So handsome.

Saying good bye to Grammy and Grandaddy.  I love that it looks like he is waving.

This is what I saw when I walked in to the living room tonight. Just hanging out watching tv. So cute!
