Walking and TALKING

Our little man is off and running. Well not quite running yet, but he is definitely a full time walker and it's so cute. He's still a little wobbly at times but going to the shoe store this week and getting his first pair of kicks should help him gain some stability. We already found a pair online to  match Tyler.

But more impressive than him walking at 10 months, is his vocabulary at such a young age. And not only vocabulary, but comprehension and understanding of the words he uses. For example, one of his new words is "hot." But not only can he say it, if I give him his waffle in the morning and its still a little warm, he knows to say "hot!" Or when he gets in the carseat when the car has been in the sun, "hot!" Some other words he's been using are "all done" and "eyes."  OHHHH and are favorite new thing he does is when you ask him "Kase, what does a lion say?!" He growls at you!! And it is the most adorable thing ever.

I have to admit I'm a proud momma. It is such a joy watching him grow from a little baby (I will miss that stage immensely) to a walking, talking toddler. He is going to keep us all on our toes, that's for sure!!

Some Recent Pics

Playtime in a giant box is always fun

Brushing his teeth before bed

Someone gave us these sandals. Very cute, but he did not like them.

Playing in the fridge AGAIN

He pulled the tie right when I shot the picture!

Ty said he held this the entire time he was in the bath

10 months old going on 2 years

So it's been a while since I have updated things on here, but I have a good excuse...

This kid keeps me so busy, I don't have time to sit for 5 minutes!  He is in to everything. He is too smart for his own good and my own good! But I am having the best time ever with him. It's so much fun watching him grow and develop into a little person. We keep saying he is a two year old trapped in a 10 month old's body. But we can't even say that because he's as tall as most two year olds. He's already 2 1/2 feet tall and 20 1/2 lbs. The list of his recent accomplishments and milestones is a mile long. Here are a few examples of his new tricks:

*Waves bye-bye

*Claps his hands

*Can say several words like "night night" "hot" and of course everything is "dada"

*And now within the past 3 days, he is walking!!!!

This mommy is very proud. It's still freaking me out a little bit, that my baby isn't going to be a baby much longer. Soon he will be a toddler running around and talking and driving me crazy, I'm sure. But through all these changes and accomplishments, he has kept his sweet spirit and beautiful smile. I feel so incredibly lucky that I get to spend my days watching him grow and learn. I told Tyler the other day, that even if I have a bad day whether it's cuz I'm tired or he's not napping, or he's being needy and wanting to nurse every hour or screaming all day, that even then its still not a bad day, because I got to spend it home with my baby. I wouldn't want it any other way. I'd take a bad day with him over going to work any day.

His first birthday is sneaking up around the corner and we are already thinking of party ideas. I'll let you know what we decide soon!!

San Antonio for our First Anniversary

Tyler and I have a special connection to San Antonio and the Alamo. It started almost 8 years ago when he took me on a weekend trip to San Antonio to tell me he loved me for the first time. I remember being on the boat you take down the river and it was a beautiful September day with the warm sun shining on my face, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world knowing the handsome guy next to me was in love with me. Then 7 1/2 years later... when we got married, we had our reception in an Alamo replica. So... for our first wedding anniversary, where better to go, than to San Antonio. This time with a baby in tow, we walked the Riverwalk, ate great mexican food, swam on the rooftop pool, and visited the Alamo. We had a wonderful time and it was a great way to celebrate our love.

He was excited about the big comfy bed.

Ready to go

Let me do that mom

It was hot!

Kase and Daddy

There is no denying these two are father and son. Just look at those eyes!

Kase is really starting to become attached to his daddy. They have a lot of fun together and Kase gets sooooo happy when his dad comes home from work.

Kase is very amused when Tyler is doing things around the house or when daddy reads to him and sings songs. They are my two favorite boys. It's really sweet to see how much they love each other. Tyler is an amazing dad.

Kase helped Daddy lower the mattress on his crib.

He was so excited to get use tools!

First airplane ride and trip to P.A.

Unfortunately, my Grandpa Boppy passed away recently. He was a hero in our eyes and will be greatly missed, but we know he is up with Nana enjoying eachother's company once again.  He did have a chance to have a little time getting to know his great grandson Kase.

Kase wasn't always sure about that old man.

But he warmed up.

So, to say our goodbyes, my family all flew up to Pennsylvania. It was Kase's first plane ride and he did great.

He got passed around from family member to family member to try and keep him occupied.

Chillin in the airport.

This is before he peed all over Aunt Katie. And mommy forgot to pack an extra outfit in our carry on, so we had to buy an oversized little kid t shirt for him to wear with a diaper. Classy, I know!
