Another week flew by!

Cason turned 4 months old today!  And what a FAST 4 months it has been. 

Last weekend, my parents came in to babysit Cason.  AJ and I went to dinner and then to his company Christmas Party.  It was our first night out and the first time for us to not put Cason down to sleep.  I’m so thankful to have my parents so close and that they were willing to make the special trip up to babysit.  It was definitely easy to leave him knowing he was in such good hands.  Nana and Pop had a great time!  They played with him, fed him, gave him a bath, gave him his reflux medicine (he’s pretty dramatic when he gets it), and did the WHOLE bedtime routine!  Thank you mom and dad for taking such great care of our sweet boy!

A quick family photo before our night out.

That next night, AJ was on extended daddy duty while I went to a party with a bunch of friends.  Cason got to ride in Daddy’s big truck and went to Sears to drool in the Craftsman section.  Daddy gave him his bath, fed him, and got him down to sleep … and he didn’t call mommy once to ask questions.  I’m pretty blessed to have a husband who is MADLY in love with his son and can take care of him all on his own.  Being a daddy definitely comes natural to AJ!  I had so much fun seeing lots of friends that I worked with over the past 5 years.  Carroll Elementary became my family and I’m thankful to be able to stay in touch with everyone.

LOVE them!!!

This past week Cason and I got out of the house A LOT!  We finished Christmas shopping, ran errands for Daddy, met Pop for lunch at the Galleria (he drove up to pick up furniture they bought), went to dinner with Ron and Donna Pyle, and we went to Cason’s 4 month check up!  A special 4-month-old post will come later.

We are looking forward to waking up Christmas morning with Cason.  Now that we have our own little family, we’ll be waking up at our own house for Christmas now.  I can’t wait to begin our own family traditions and make Christmas morning memories in our home.  This is one of the many family moments I have always dreamed of.  I’m so thankful that God has blessed my life with my sweet husband and precious baby boy!
