Saturday Morning Fun

This morning while I was feeding Cason his bottle Emory proceeded to drag anything and everything out of her room and into the living room. When I asked her what she was doing she told me she was camping. So after I finished feeding Cason, Emory and I built a tent for her to camp in. After the tent was built we had to put food out for the deer. Emory chose one of Cason's burp rags for the food. Then she told me to be quiet so the deer would not be scared. Such a MESS!

This is what I got when I asked her to look at me!

Later that morning while I was changing Cason's diaper and clothes I heard water running in their bathroom. When I asked Emory what she was doing she told me washing her hands. Then Emory came into Cason's room all upset because her Chip (Beauty & The Beast) was broken. Apparently she had filled Chip, who is a stuffed toy made of cloth, with water and was very upset that the water would not stay in Chip. So I put Cason in his crib and went to tend to Chip and the mess in the bathroom. When I came back to get Cason he was on his knees looking out over the rail of his crib. He apparently had pulled himself up and was just hanging out. I put him back down and ran and got the camera but he was too busy smiling to pull himself up again!



7 Months Old

Cason Bradley you are 7 months old today! You are wearing size 6-9 and 9 months clothes and a size 3 diaper. You have 3 teeth and are crawling everywhere. You crawled from the living room into the kitchen last night and were quite proud of yourself! You are eating baby food and puffs, which you love.

You are a happy baby and are always smiling. You get tickled so easily and have the cutest little laugh. You adore your big sister and your little face lights up whenever you see her. You take two good naps during the day and usually go to bed between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. You are still not sleeping through the night consistently and usually wake up once to eat.

We love you very much Cason!

Fall Festival

Last night we took the kids to a fall festival at a local church. Emory wanted to be a cowgirl this year for Halloween and Cason wore Noah's hand-me-down cow costume. Emory had a blast at the festival. She jumped in the bounce house, slid down the bounce house slide, played games, and played in the balloon room. The candy was a hit too! Cason enjoyed watching all the people. Tomorrow is their costume party at Ms. Betty's and Emory is already excited about wearing her cowgirl costume again!!!



My little cow and cowgirl!

 

Going down the slide in the bounce house!






Cason checking everything out!

 

The balloon room.
As you can see Emory was in awe of all the balloons.



She of course found a purple balloon.





My Little Mowing Princess Cowgirl

This evening Emory "mowed" the grass with her daddy, which basically consisted of them riding around on the lawn mower. She had to change out of her church clothes before going outside to play and chose her Dora princess dress and cowboy boots. She told us she wanted to be a princess, therefore only the Dora princess dress would do. She initially wanted to wear her wedding shoes, (recall the wedding dress post) but then decided on the cowboy boots when we told her wedding shoes were not play shoes. Such a mess!



This is a face of determination!

 

Making sure she was cutting the grass

 




Cason had fun drooling and playing with his toys while Daddy and Emory mowed!





I'm A Big Boy Now

It's official, Cason is on the move! Cason has graduated from scooting to scoot crawling/crawling and is liking his new found freedom. He is curious and quick! He is still not technically crawling, it is more like a scoot scoot crawl, scoot scoot crawl, but he can get around! Today he ventured from his bedroom into his bathroom and was making a bee line for the bathroom rug. He has discovered the magazines under the coffee table, which have found a new home, and just about every inch of the living room. I have a feeling he will be exploring every room in the house soon! Below are some pictures of Cason "on the move" in his bedroom this weekend.



 


He still likes to roll too!

 



Say Cheese

I finally figured out a way to get a picture of Emory actually looking at the camera. The key is for her not to know she is looking at a camera. Bradley's game camera captured these pictures when Emory went with her daddy to see if he had captured any pictures of deer. Now I just have to dress her up cute, take her out into the woods and let the camera do all the work. Oh and I also need to figure out how to remove that pesky time/date stamp!!

Giggle Box

This afternoon Cason got the giggles during a game of peek-a-boo. He got so tickled that I had to get out the camera and snap a few pictures.

Too cute!

Fair Week 2011

This week has been fair week in town, which means my Ag teacher husband pretty much has to live at the fair all week. Thursday we met Mimi, Paw Paw, Rachel, Andrew, and  Mckenzie at the fair. The girls had a blast riding the rides together, however I forgot my camera so I was unable to get any pictures of them. I took the kids again Friday night with camera in tow. Bradley was able to take a break and hang out with us for a little while.

Side Note: I took Emory yesterday afternoon to get a new pair of boots because her boots are getting to small and left marks on her feet Thursday night when she wore them. She picked out this pink pair and is absolutely in love with them. She insisted on wearing them home from the store yesterday and then took her nap with them on.  Here she is in her new boots checking out the rabbits.



Cason's first fair. He is a people watcher (just like his sister) and had a blast watching everybody and everything!





Emory riding the big truck ride!




The merry-go-round is still her favorite ride.



Cason had a good time at the fair!



Have I mentioned Emory loves corn? Well she does and her new thing is "big corn," meaning corn on the cob. She LOVED the roasted corn at the fair and had three ears Friday night.



We had a fun time this year at the fair. Emory enjoyed the rides and seeing all the animals. I think her favorite were the pigs and cows. She is already asking for a pig!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

Today Bradley and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch. I hoped to get at least one good picture of the two of them, unfortunately that did not happen. Emory has no time for pictures these days and Cason was too distracted by all the activity at the pumpkin patch.

I love Emory's expression in this one. Cason on the other hand was all about the pumpkin.

Cason's first trip to the pumpkin patch!



The little pumpkin in her hand is the one she picked out. She wanted a baby pumpkin this year. Right now Emory and the baby pumpkin are both taking a nap. Yes she is sleeping with the pumpkin and yes the pumpkin took a bath before they went to sleep.

  

Cason Bradley- 6 months old

Emory Grace- 2 1/2 years old

 

I had to include this picture drool and all, because they look so much alike to me in it. Cason's cheeks are a little chubbier, but they have the same eyes, nose, and mouth.
