First Thanksgiving

So, Kason's first Thanksgiving was yesterday. His Grandma O came to spend a few days with us and we made a nice dinner here at home. It was yummy!

Kason got to experience his first black Friday shopping today and got a few toys for himself. He was very excited to get his new jumper, but unfortunately, he was too sleepy from all that shopping to try it out. So, we will be trying it out tomorrow.

Aside from Thanksgiving, this has been a big week for Kason. He is now rolling over consistently, reaching and grabbing for things, and we got our first belly laughs from him! So precious.

Tonight, I will leave you with a few of our DIY Christmas pics...4 month pics and Thanksgiving pics coming soon!

Free Time?!

Hmmm....so, Kason is blissfully sleeping in his crib right now and I am wondering what I am supposed to do with myself. We just watched CSI: Miami. Tonight's episode was about a kidnapping, which made me want to go pick up my baby and hold him tight. Kyle, of course, won't let me do that. So, I am sitting here updating his blog instead.

So, what's new with Kason, you ask? Well, he went to his very first concert two Saturdays ago. It was a Newsboys concert and he enjoyed the music very much. He is doing well in daycare. He has finally started napping there, but of course, naptime usually begins around noon, right when I am there to pick him up. Oh well, at least he's learning how to fall asleep somewhere besides home, his carseat, and on mommy.

The wonderful ladies at the school daycare always comment on how happy he is and how much he smiles. He is truly a happy baby, smiling just about every waking minute of his day. It really is awesome!

What else? He is beginning to reach for things. He can now grab and hold on to his toys on his activity mat and he loves to grab mommy's face. He has also learned a very high pitch squeal of delight...I just love it!!

3 Months Old & Lots of Updates

So, it has been a while...sorry! Anyhow, October was a big month for Kason. He weighs somewhere near 15 lbs now; probably more on the plus side of that. He is all smiles, especially for his friend, Ollie the Octopus. He has two versions of this guy and absolutely loves him! Now, we are just waiting for those smiles to turn into laughs - I can't wait to hear those baby belly laughs!

Besides waiting on laughs, we are also waiting on rolling over. He is so close to rolling from his back to his belly. He can roll from his back to his side and from his side to his belly, but he has yet to put it all together to roll from his back to his belly.






























Some other things he did last month:

He went on his first plane trip and attended his first wedding.. We flew to Maryland towards the end of October to see Kyle's cousin Mike get married. He was sooo good on the plane, even after the layover and a very long travel day. He even got a chance to see MawMaw and Nanny during our first layover in Dallas.


































At the wedding, he got to meet two of his cousins, Cody and Allison, for the very first time. He also met his Aunt Tina and Uncle Sean, as well as his aunt Samantha, along with his Great Grandma O. and the rest of Kyle's extended family. It was a great trip.












































When we got back, he got to dress up for his very first Halloween. He was the cutest little monkey you've ever seen!























He also played Guitar Hero for the very first time with his buddy, Ken.




Last week, he tried out the Bumbo seat for the very first time. Sometimes, he is great with it and sometimes, he is a little lazy. It really just depends on the time of day.












This week, Kason started at daycare at my school. It has its perks - my students love getting to see him and I love getting to see him around campus when the daycare group goes for walks while I am in class. So, while it is nice to be able to take him to school with me and see him throughout the morning, I still really want him all to myself. I thought half days would be the perfect fit for us, but I am really just wanting to be with him all day. Maybe next year.
