Toddler Talk

Nearing his 2nd birthday in the upcoming weeks, Kase has been talking A LOT!! Some of it is very

clear, some of it is his own version of words and some of it is just jibber jabber. Just wanted to share

a few of his favorite sayings:

 

"Chicken fren fry"

 

For some reason this is like his favorite thing to say. Everywhere we go that involves food, he says it, like he's ordering. If we are at the grocery store, he says it over and over the whole time. At

fast food, sit down restaurant, and even if we just drive by Chic Fila. The funny thing is he doesn't

really eat french fries, so I don't ever even order them for him. But for some strange reason he still

walks around "chicken fren fry, chicken fren fry!" It's hilarious.

 

"Baby try"

 

He hasn't quite gotten down "Kase" yet, so he refers to himself as "Baby", which to Mommy, he still

is. But this is what he says when he doesn't want you to help him with something or wants to do it

all by himself.

 

"Momma, Dada, Baby"

 

It's crazy at how such a young age how aware they are of things. Since Tyler started his own practice

and hasn't been home a ton, Kase is sharply aware of how special it is when we are all together

lounging around the house. When we are all snuggling on the bed, he'll look at me, then daddy,

and say "Momma, dada, baby" and get this biggest smile on his face and then just fall into us with

a big hug. It is so special because I know he is content and at peace when he has his whole little

family together.

 

 

 

Those are just a few of my favorites. He has been talking up a storm lately and I love listening to

him finally being able to express what goes on in that crazy little head of his. September 15th is

just around the corner. I can't believe he'll finally be 2, he's been acting like it for quite a while,

and people always think he's like 3 by his looks. I love watching him grow!!



My cutie pie

Since I haven't added anything lately, thought I'd just share of pics of

our little monster.

Chilling in his clothes in his chair in his baby pool :)

Took some pics for a contest. Still waiting to hear!

Love that smile

Daddy's birthday!

At the lake for Memorial Day

He was not scared at all.

Caught a cute fishy!

That look is awesome

Likes wearing his Elmo backpack around

Loves balls

My handsome guys :)

So there's a little catch up with Kase. He is really doing great. Talking up a storm.

It's so cute to listen to him try and repeat really big words, but he does his best.

He's learning quickly as well. Knows lots of shapes, parts of his alphabet and working

on numbers now too. He's already so smart and I look forward to what amazing things

he will do in life. He is a special little guy.



Uploaded all the pictures from my cell on to my computer and found some adorable

pictures of baby Kase. It definitely is giving me some baby fever!

Look at that smile!

Sleeping with daddy.

Too adorable.

Love, love, love that face.

My little pirate

Saying his prayers :)

Beary sweet

Hanging with mom

He was chunky for maybe a month or two

It's so cool to see how he's grown in just over a year and a half. If it's possible, I

think he gets cuter and cuter every day!!



Shoes!

Kase is obsessed with shoes. I can't even go into a store and look at shoes

for him without him freaking out. I know that if I try a pair on him, I better be prepared

to buy them, cuz they ain't coming off his feet once they go on. And this is only his assertion

at 19 months. I can't imagine what it will be like when he's 3, or 5, or 12, or 16!! Well, at

least he will be well dressed. Anyway, here's a pic of the latest bunch of his shoes. He's already in a size 8!



We Got Your Back

Here are some pictures of the construction going on in the new clinic

space. It's pretty exciting! Right now it's a lot of dry wall and dust, but you can

get the idea.

         This is a view from one of the entrances. That will be the front desk on the right.
    The open space will be the physical therapy area. That open doorway is Tyler's office
                                           and to the left are the exam rooms.

                                                          
                                                          Dr. Tyler at the front desk

                                            Father and son checking things out.

                                                                 P.T. Area

                                              Little Man in the first exam room

        Hallway coming out of the first exam room. The door on the right is exam room
                             #2 and straight ahead is the xray suite/exam room #3.

               Exam room #2. Ceilings in the rooms will be capped eventually. Then the
                                               rest of the space is open ceilings.

               Another hallway leading out of the xray suite to Tyler's office and the PT area
                                                               and bathroom.

                                                     Xray suite/exam room #3.

We are so excited and thrilled to be on this next chapter of our lives.

This is the outside. Beautiful right?? It's that bottom corner office. Sign's will be going up soon.



Big Changes

Things have been pretty crazy around here the past month or so. We have

lots of exciting things going on. Starting with moving. We are pro's at this by now

and we have done it once again. We moved to a new house and Kase is loving it.

I know I have sent the new address to a few people, but if you need it let me know.

The other big and exciting thing going on in our family is that Tyler quit

his job at HealthSource and is opening his own Chiropractic clinic. We could not be more excited and thrilled at this opportunity. Right now he and his business partner are busy

buying eqiupment, picking out design schemes and setting up utilities. They already

have the space and started construction last week. It's going to be a really

nice clinic and Tyler is super excited to be able to run his own clinic. Stay tuned

for more details. We just got cable and internet set up yesterday at our new

house, so I can keep up now a little better. I will update soon as things progress

on the new clinic. I believe they are looking to open in June.

P.S. I think I am going to open my facebook back up to keep up with

family. I feel very out of the loop. But will still continue to post the important

stuff on this blog. Ok hope everyone is doing well.



18 Months

Well our little man just turned 18 months last week and I can't believe how time has flown.

He is definitely not a baby anymore. He had his check up and is still coming in around the 85th percentile for height. Every time someone asks how old he is, they assume he's 2 or 3.

He continues to blow me away with how smart he is. He is doing really well with potty training, going a couple times a day on his big boy potty seat. He's also starting to recognize a few shapes and letters. I freaked out one day while reading to him and he pointed to a shape and said, "oval!" I couldn't believe it. He also says some random fun words like turtle, elbow, moon, ball, kitten. Of course my favorite is him yelling, "Momma!" across the house. He's still going to the Little Gym once a week and having a blast with that. He's about to move up to the big boy class in a couple weeks and I think that will be great for him, a little more of a challenge.  He's on a really great schedule right now that makes my day much easier. He's sleeping really good and eating well also. He loves to sing and dance. We blast the radio at home and he starts boppin' his head and yes, we taught him to fist pump, lol. It is a wonderful feeling as a mom, to watch my son grow and learn everyday. He is happy and healthy and that is all I could ever ask for. Here are some pictures from the last few months....

 In February we took him to see Elmo Live. We were worried he might

get scared, but we were in the 4th row and he loved it.

                                                 Eating cotton candy with Dad.

                                                             During intermission.

                                                         Had his Elmo gear ready.

                                     This is what happens when dad puts your pj's on.

 Valentine's Day. He got a whole bag of goodies then helped himself to a couple cupcakes.

    Whenever it's quiet, I can count on him being in the dog kennel. He thinks it's so funny.

                                                    Loves wearing big people shoes.

Went to Galveston beach last week. Had so much fun. Water was too cold

at first, but then he warmed up to it. Our friend Parker came too!
