Catch up - long post!

Story of my life – playing catch up!! We’ve been very active over the past couple of weeks. We ended the tee ball season, went to see Granny at the hospital, and spent time with friends on Memorial Day.

So, here’s the recap:

Memorial Day weekend, on Saturday, Heath’s parents went out of town to go see Nannie in Ft. Worth. We went swimming at their community pool. That was Cason’s first time in the pool and he loved it. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera with me though!! After a nice, cool swim, we used their house to have a relaxing afternoon! On Sunday, we travelled to Palestine to see Granny, where she is recovering from a mild stroke. We had a nice visit with her, 3 of her sisters and my aunt and uncle. Afterwards, we enjoyed dinner, just the four of us.

Heath had to work on Monday, but afterwards we joined our friends Tim and Brittany at their house for fishing, burgers, and a great time! Their sons, Blayne – age 4 and Mason-age 3 and Lucas had a fun time playing together and being boys! Lucas and Blayne even jumped in the pond for an evening swim with Brandon. Lucas loved it. He never stops surprising me. I thought he would be scared since he couldn’t see the bottom, but he didn’t hesitate a bit to jump right in…. which is kind of scary!

On Tuesday, Cason had his 4 month checkup. I picked both him and Lucas up at daycare and headed to the Dr’s office, where Heath met us. Cason is doing great. Dr. Prier is very pleased with his size – he is not too fat and certainly not too thin! He weighs right at 15 pounds and is already over 26 inches long! Dr. Prier said he will most likely be tall and lean as an adult. Dr. Prier gave us the go-ahead to begin cereals, for a couple of weeks, and then veggies, fruits and so on. Things are about to get fun… especially in the diaper changing department! He also reported that from the looks of Cason’s development, he is about a month ahead of most four month olds and probably won’t be long before he is strong enough to begin crawling… and then comes the interesting part!! HA. Lucas just can’t wait for him to crawl, or so he thinks for now anyway! It might be a different story when Cason is mobile and can get in to Lucas’ “stuff”. After the checkup, of course, comes the worst part – the shots. He had to get two in each leg and Lucas did NOT like it. He hid his eyes and teared up because he didn’t like to see his little brother hurting! It was so sweet. He said he wished that he could have the shots instead, since he is bigger and tougher. Cason is very lucky to have such a loving, protective big brother!

The rest of the week was fairly normal – if that’s possible. Saturday, I helped host a baby shower, which is always fun. The building where it was held has a pool next to it, so while I was showering the mommy to be, Heath and his parents took the boys swimming. Saturday evening, Heath and I had a wedding to attend, so his parents kept the boys and we had a date! Weddings are always fun, and we enjoyed visiting with friends and relaxing and being a couple! Until next time… God Bless!
