Picky Eater

When Cason first started eating food he would eat anything. Any baby food and then almost any real food. He loved Mac n cheese and I could add veggies and he still gobbled it up. Then around 15 months it all went downhill. I know it's totally normal and not specific to Cason, but it is frustrating when the only food he might attempt to eat at a meal is Cheetos. He loves chips so we have to hide any bags or he will refuse to eat anything else.

He has started to eat more stuff lately and luckily he usually likes fruit so at least he gets something healthy. But we still struggle. I keep offering and he keeps throwing it at me. :)

Until I officially quit my job, we have a lady named Cheryl watching Cason and it seems to be working out great! He doesn't eat very well for her either...big she tries too!  She sent me this series of pictures yesterday. I think it sums up his feelings pretty well.

The last one cracked me up! He is such a stinker. One last picture because he is so cute and looks like such a big boy.

18 months old and a few changes

A little late but Cason is 18 months old! He is full of energy, can be incredibly sweet, and can be just as mischievous.  He is in to everything and says Mama about a million times a day. He has started to shorten it and just say Ma now.  When Terry is gone he asks about him constantly. 

He is still biting and now I think he is just doing it to be defiant. Sometimes he thinks he's being funny. He knows he isn't supposed to do it but he doesn't care. When he bites (or something else he knows is wrong) he does it and then shakes his head at you. Or sometimes he puts his little arms up and says "I don't know". It is so hard not to laugh. He cracks us up all the time!

He was doing this like tying a tie. Not sure why...nobody around here wears ties.

He loves to dance. If he hears music he stops what he is doing and dances. Even if he's sitting down he can still get his groove on.

He is dancing in both pictures. First move is arms up. He tries to snap, claps and stomps his feet. He really gets in to it!

He has started coloring...everything. So far just the floors and one time our sheets. I guess I shouldn't have let him color on the bed. He climbs on the chair and says color.

He can say car, tree, shoe, ball and several others but his favorite is pool.  He really extends the "o". Any water is a pool. I tried to take him to the playground in our neighborhood and finally gave up after this is where he kept running to. 

Now for the changes. I quit my job! I will still be working for a little bit, but officially I have put my notice in.  A lady in our neighborhood is going to watch Cason for a little bit so no more daycare until I'm actually done. I'm pretty excited!

A few more pictures of our crazy guy. If you ask him to walk like a turkey you get this. He puts his hands back and bends over. 

He loves Cooper. He usually tries to climb on him and puts his face in Coopers face so Cooper will lick him. So gross! Here is Cooper out of Cason's range.

He loves trying to play Terry's guitars. My parents were in town getting this for my dad. Cason was loving it.

First time eating popcorn. He was a fan!

Driving so Dad can read his text messages.  You can see but the wipers were going crazy and the blinkers were on. He was very serious about his job.
