Casen's 8 month Update

At 8 months this little tank weighs 24.5 lbs and is 28 inches long. He is getting more active, and more wiggly every day! He still rolls everywhere, but now he gets up on his hands and knees and has crawled forward a bit! He is days away from figuring it out completely. He is ready to get moving and start chasing his sister. I on the other hand am not ready. I feel like every stage is going so much faster with my second baby. 
 
As far as sleeping goes, it's getting worse! He's been up every 3 hours this week. I feel like I have a newborn again! I'm pretty sure it's teeth. He's been fussy during the day, drooling everywhere, and has been running a low fever every few days. He is typically not fussy, and this is quite out of character for him, so it's got to be teeth! 

He still doesn't love baby food, but he is starting to eat some table food! Yay! He loves gram crackers, noodles, and scrambled eggs. I'm so glad he is starting to eat some solids!

We've taken him outside a lot this summer, and he loves looking around and scooting off his blanket onto the grass. He also loves stroller rides and water! He loves the water. He will sit in the kiddie pool while splashing and kicking forever. 


Having fun at the Park

Such a cute face!




Fun in the Sun! Check out that kid's belly! So cute!


Eatin' some Prunes


Daddy loves his boy. He can't wait to take him on all sorts of adventures and teach him all about the farm, video games, and the ways of a Jedi. It will be so much fun watching these two boys both grow up. :)

7 Month Update

We have had rotten luck with computers at our house these past few months. My Mac that I've had for over 7 years has finally died. It won't even turn on anymore. Luckily I backed everything up, so nothing important was lost. Brian's computer has also suffered some injuries lately. Lydia stepped on it and now there is a huge crack in the screen. Grrrr. I can still manage to use it, in fact I'm using it right now, but it is a pain! Needless to say, blogging has been difficult lately, but I'm determined to get caught up!

At 7 months this boy weighs 22.9 lbs, is 26.5 inches long,and has the biggest thighs you've ever seen! He is still super happy, and talks a lot! He like to blow raspberries and says "Dadadadada."  He'sleeping OK. He wakes up once, or twice a night. I'm just dying for him to sleep through the night. Eight hours of uninterrupted sleep sounds heavenly! I can't complain too much though since he is never up crying, he just fusses and wants to eat.

 He is wanting to play with Lydia so bad, and tries to scoot after her on his belly. He rolls around to get to what he wants, and he LOVES toys. He is always wanting to play with something. He also loves dogs! He thinks my sister's dog and my mom's dog are the funniest things he's ever seen. He loves grabbing their fur, and he just cracks up when they are running around.

 He still hates baby food! It's so weird to me cause Lydia ate really good as a baby, she just got pickier as a toddler. Casen not liking baby food is kinda driving me crazy. I'm told I shouldn't be concerned and that he gets most of his nutrition from breastfeeding, I keep hoping that once he starts eating more solids he'll sleep through the night.

 I wanted Casen's 6 month pictures (which actually turned into 7 month pictures) done in just a diaper. I want to remember his cute chub when he gets older. Sure when he grows up he'll think these pictures are embarrassing but they are just so cute! I will most definitely have to keep them on hand when he is a teenager and show them to all of his dates!














OK, this one just kills me. Is it not the cutest! I love all those back rolls and that giant baby tushy!

Casen is such a sweetie! He brings so much happiness into our home. We all (including Lydia) just argue about who gets to hold him next! Now though, he isn't wanting to held as much as he did a few months ago. He is wanting to scoot around, and play. My heart is going to seriously break when my baby boy is no longer my baby. I want him to stay my little squishy as long as possible! So please little Casen just stop growing up!
