The Little Artist

A few times I noticed Cason had yellow or black stuff around his toes and finally figured out it was paint. I knew his daycare did art projects but thought he was too little to participate. The other day they sent some home. So cute!

He also started making a new face. Not sure why or how this started but we call it his "surprised baby face."

5 Months!

Cason is 5 months old!

 



 We are more in love with this little guy than ever.  He always greets us with the sweetest smiles and can be quite a ham for an audience.  He has slept through the night several times and we are keeping our fingers crossed for more full nights!  He is still a drooling mess and loves to chew on his hands or almost anything else that comes in his path.  Dangling earrings are dangerous and he has a seriously strong grip.  He moves across the floor by either rolling or working his little legs and scooting.  He hasn't figured out that he has arms that will help.  Once he figures that out we are in some trouble! :)

 

We finally started some baby food and after a few sessions he has become quite the eater.  He loves applesauce and sweet potatoes.  The other day he would scream until the spoon got to his mouth and then he would smile and open up.  We've tried carrots- not his favorite but he still eats them-and bananas.  We are staying away from bananas for now because his little checks turn red after he eats them.

 

We had another trip to Plano over labor day and made it in for his cousin Brooklyn's first birthday party.  After that we went to our friends Chris and Chrissy's house for another party.  We hung out with Grandma Dale and her friend Debbie and even made a trip to Ft. Worth to see his great Aunt Margaret and cousin Susan.  We wore him out but he was so good!

He loves his little cow on his car seat.  He holds it while he sleeps. :)



We took a walk the other night and I realized how much bigger he really is.  Also note his permanent mowhawk.  There is nothing you can do about it, his hair grows straight up.

 



 And finally...we tend to forget about our first baby.  Cooper has been so sweet and such a good boy.  My mom was taking pictures of Cason and decided that Cooper needed a photo shoot too.  I think he liked the attention because he posed like he knew what was going on.
