New Monkey PJ's

Good Night, Sleep Tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!





Gotta love that little grin!

(Sad but true I just killed some crazy bug a few minutes ago. I heard some weird noises and did not think anything of them until our cat, Razel, jumped off of the bed and onto the railing to try to get it. I just hope that was the only one. I HATE bugs! I sure hope our little boy does not enjoy them when he gets older.)

Eating my green beans

Caswell is a great eater now. It took him a while to want to eat some solid food but I think he knows now that stuff is good. Only if he knew how many good things are out there for him to eat.
It is so funny to watch him eat. He will open his mouth pretty wide when he is ready for that spoonful of food and then he will not open his mouth when he is done.





Here we are cleaning up afterwards.

Two Cousins - Caswell and Brandon

Caswell's cousin Brandon was born 5 days before him. They are so darn cute together. I think these 2 are going to have a bond like no other. Caswell's Aunt Cassie (Brandon's mom) watches Caswell 3 days of the week. We could not be happier. It is such a great piece of mind knowing he is with family and so loved everyday.
Cassie is so good about taking pictures of the boys. She will text me one once in a while and it always brightens my day. Here is a few pictures of the boys together.

7 Months Old

Caswell is such a happy little guy. Whenever he is around new people or around people who have not seem him for a long time, Jeff and I always get asked, "Is he always like this?" because he does not cry or hardly fusses. He is such a good little guy. He makes me so proud. I love to cuddle him daily. My plan is to spoil him every moment I can. It is hard to even imagine how much love you can have for your child until you experience and live it everyday.

Caswell is eating more and more solid foods. He loves to talk. Well he loves his voice and can be pretty loud at times. He is sitting up on his own, rolls over and gets to whatever he wants by rolling around. I am sure one day we will blink and he will be on the move whether that he starts crawling or walking.

He changes daily it seems like. He is becoming more of a little boy now and not so much my baby face boy anymore. That makes me want to cry. As much as I can not wait for Caswell to grow up, it makes me so sad how fast time is going by.

Caswell - We love you lots!

6 Month Photo Shoot

We had Caswell's 6 month photo shoot this past weekend. He was so good and of course full of smiles (and his serious (dad's) face too). We went back to the same photographer that we had his 3 months pictures taken with. We were very impressed with the photos, like her work and especially like working with her. She is fabulous!

Take a look back at the slide show from his 3 months photo shoot.
Molly gives you a preview on her blog and then provides you with a slide show once she is done editing them all.

He has grown so much. He makes my heart melt everyday!

Enjoy!

Just playing...

Since the weather has been oh so nice outside (we wish!) we have been playing a lot inside. We hope life let's you play once in a while.

Happy May Day!

These pictures were taken on a trip to Las Vegas in the Spring of 2006. It was a great trip. The second day we were there we woke up pretty early and went out for a walk and ventured in the Bellagio Hotel through their spectacular flower show. I just thought I would share some of these fun pictures today.



(Sorry Mom as I know we just rolled out of bed but we still look great!)





This picture was taken at a friends wedding at the Little White Wedding Chapel.


Enjoy your day!
