procrastinating

Coming home from vacations are always hard. There's always so much laundry and it's rough getting back into your every routine, not to mention trying to catch up on your sleep. For some reason this vacation took me a couple days to check out all the pictures I took...and then blog about it. It's been over a week but hey, at least I made it. My family and I flew to Gilbert, Arizona to visit my sister and her husband.

This was Cason's first plane ride and he did pretty good considering where we were. Luckily we got a window seat and while the plane took it's sweet time taking off he looked out the window...and licked it.We went swimming at a place kinda like Seven Peaks or Raging Waters, only on a much smaller scale.Every morning Cason would wake up and try to peak around the corner and try to tell us that he was awake. It was so adorable. We went to another place that had mini golf, bumper boats, go karts, and lazer tag.Cason was a fan of the mini golf. We found a couple extra balls in the water and he had fun tossing them-and putting them in the hole and out of the hole-We went out a couple of times. One night in particular we went to Golden Corral and Cason tried cottage cheese and red jello for the first time. Let me tell you, the jello got everywhere! Such a mess. The backs of his legs and arms were stained red. The cottage cheese was a big hit though, as you can see here-

Arizona was hot but still a lot of fun. We plan on visiting Travis' parents there in November for Thanksgiving. By then I'm sure we'll be enjoying the warmth! Stay tuned for pictures and hopefully a video of Cason walking!!

He's walking!...well, almost

Thanks to an awesome girl in our ward Cason in getting that much closer to walking. Remember the walker deal I mentioned in my last post? Well, here it is in video! He's adorable. The walker is making him so confident and everything he touches he tries to push. In church when he'll stand up against a chair and try to push it. Earlier today when we went to get a shopping cart he went straight to it and started pushing it! It was hilarious. Thanks again for sharing Shara! You rock our world!

We are on our way to Arizona tomorrow morning to visit my sister and her husband for her birthday. We're excited. It'll be Cason's first airplane ride and I gotta say, I'm a little nervous. Good thing Nana and Papa will be there. Everyone have a great weekend!

clever title goes here

We borrowed a little walker from a girl in our ward and Cason is in love with it! He stands up on all on his own with it and then takes off with it- It's so much fun to watch him walk with it. It's made him very confident. When he's standing he'll often times let go of whatever he's holding on and stand there all by himself. Slowly but surely he's getting there.

Adorable, right?

I'm tellin' you, he plays with it morning, noon, and night. He loves this thing! Thanks again Shara!

This was the last weekend our pool was going to be open so we took advantage and went one last time. We had the whole pool to ourselves, it was marvelous.

Cason loves the water. It's gonna be sad not going whenever we can.

We also went to American Fork canyon and did some hiking. It was great having Travis home for an extra long weekend. Thank you holidays! We'll miss you, come back soon!

new favorites

Now that Cason is getting older he seems to have graduated from baby toys and baby food and is ready for the next step. I can't believe how big he is getting and how much older he seems. Here's some of the new stuff he's been trying and loving lately:
Mashed potatoes! Loved 'em! Pushing the buttons on the tv. Now you see it-And now you don't-after he turns it off he'll look at me like: "ta-da! Okay, now fix it Mom"Rice, absolutely loved the rice!He loves this mesh little bag cuz it's filled with fruit. It makes a mess but it's the perfect treat to cool down with, not to mention ease some of the pain from his gums.Speaking of which, if you look close you might see his top two teeth pokin' through. The past week or so has been a little rough for him but they've finally cut through and are startin' to peek down, so adorable!He loves trucks! So I finally went to the store and got him this little one and he plays with it all the time. He'll hold it and move his arm back and forth, so cute!Cason will follow you around in the kitchen. If you open the pantry door he'll zoom towards it hoping to get to it before you close it. He also does this with drawers and of course, the fridge- I absolutely love that he's on his tip toes
Who knows what'll be next? I sure a'm excited to find out!

Happy One Month!

According to Cason's scrapbook, he's only one month old. Good thing that's not how it works. I don't know why it's taken me so long to get to this point...although probably having so many pictures probably had a little something to do with it...but I'm grateful I made it. Here a couple of layouts I've done recently. Enjoy! Let's hope it doesn't take me another ten months to do month two.
