Cason & Emory

I wanted this post to be about the little things that Emory and Cason are doing right now because I am afraid I won't remember them next year or week for that matter.

 Emory Grace is at an age where life is either wonderful or terrible and there is hardly an in between. She pitches fits when she does not get her way and is oh so dramatic one minute and then the sweetest funniest little thing the next. She has really taken an interest in helping me with laundry, cleaning, or cooking. She calls it "work" and tells me "lets go work." She is really a good helper. She has also started calling me the oh so dreaded three letter word.... mom. To me mom just solidifies that she is a big girl now, which makes me a little sad. She loves to color, play with her "cooker" (aka her little kitchen), put together her puzzles, and play make believe with her baby dolls. She puts on her bracelets, earrings, necklaces, high heel shoes, and takes her babies to the park, doctor, or store.  One night this week she was saying her prayers and told God that she wanted to go to school and learn her ABC's. She learned that January 15 is her birthday last week and has already requested a horsee cake for her birthday, but wants to be 4 instead of 3. She loves her brother and is very caring and sweet towards Cason. She is always making sure he has a toy to play with and loves making him laugh. Her favorite color is still purple and her new "obsession" is chicken trucks. She is always wanting to find a chicken truck and gets upset when she does not see one. For those of you thinking... chicken trucks? That would be the trucks that haul chickens to the poultry plants. She is such a mess! We love you Emory!

This face says it all. She was wanting to throw this ball and I had told her no.
She then acted like she was going to throw it anyway, so I told her if she threw
it she would go to time out. So here she is deciding if throwing
the ball was worth a visit to timeout.



This is her telling me no cheese. She is NOT into taking pictures
these days.



She is also not wanting to take a nap anymore. She ran and hid from
me this afternoon.
  



Cason Bradley has exited the newborn stage and is on his way to the "independent" baby stage. He is sitting by himself now, however I am still putting a pillow behind him just in case. He is also a good scooter and roller and can get around really well. In the last few weeks he has learned to hold his bottle and is an expert at finding stuff and putting it in his mouth. He is always smiling and his big sister is a pro at making him laugh. He slept in his bedroom for the first time last night, however woke up around 1:30 am and after a snack slept in our room in his pack-n-play. We learned this week that he is allergic to bananas, but thankfully it is a mild allergy that he will likely out grow. Other than bananas, which he liked they just did not like him, we have not found a food he will not eat. He is a good eater! He is also quite the talker and talks to us and his toys constantly. He is such a joy and we love him dearly!



He is always smiling!



Look whose sitting!
