My Gums Hurt!

Casen is definitely getting some of his top teeth in. The poor guy has been making these awful faces for the past few days! It's seems as if he's applying pressure on his top gums with his bottom gums. He won't let us feel his teeth and for a usually very mild mannered baby has been a tad-bit fussy lately. I think we are all ready for them to all break through! Poor guy!

Ride 'Em Cowboy

One of my good friends, Crissy, is under the impression that instead of taking time to put her son's toys in the attic it's easier to let me borrow them. I love this idea and support it very graciously! The most recent hand off was this awesome little rocking horse that Casen loves.

Expressions

As Casen grows we are seeing more and more of his personality come out. He is getting really expressive with his face. Below are just a few of the many expressions we see on a regular basis.


Mr. Analytical


His goofy grin - sometimes he holds his lips really tightly together and grins from ear to ear. He's really gotten into this one lately.

His normal, adorable smile!

Friends

One of my closest friends, Amanda, and her fiance Brad came to visit us. We had a great weekend filled with shopping, golf and church. It was fun to introduce them to our friends at church, let them see more of our lives here in Fort Worth, and to just spend time together.


It was also great having two personal assistants. I didn't have to carry the diaper bag all weekend and having extra hands to get shoes on the kid was helpful as well!

Saturday, Amanda and I headed to Dallas on a search for persimmon fabric for the bridesmaid dresses. One of our sorority sisters, Sarah, met us for part of the day. They were witnesses for Casen's first restaurant high chair experience. He loved it!

Casen's Future Wife

Some of our good friends, Paul and Susan Horton, recently had their first child, a little girl named Madelyn. Since we know she'll have good genes and will be raised in a Godly, loving home we've decided that she's the one for Casen!

Casen: "Wow...isn't she beautiful."

Maddie: "Oh Yeah...that boy there right there is the one for me!"

Sitting Up!

It is amazing to me how quickly babies develop. Casen is now sitting up and loving it!


To cushion the falls, we stick the Boppy around him and let him sit by himself. He is now able to play with his toys in a whole new way!



"Look Mom...no hands!"
