100 Kisses ...


Cason has continued to bring us so much joy!  How could he not!?  This boy easily gets over 100 kisses from us everyday!  Even thought it wasn’t that long ago, it’s hard to imagine what life was like without him. 

Today I learned that Cason likes to dance!  After one of his naps, I turned on the radio in his room and we danced to the new Justin Bieber song, Beauty and a Beat. Cason thought it was hilarious!  He smiled and laughed so much.  We had A LOT of fun being silly and dancing all around his room.  I wish I could have gotten a picture of his huge smile.  I can’t wait to see if he gets a kick out of it tomorrow too! 

We also gave rice cereal another try today.  The first time Cason tried cereal was on Christmas Eve and he just pushed it around with his tongue.  We tried a couple more times the week of Christmas and then decided to give him a couple weeks to mature a little bit more.  He has been reaching out for our food occasionally and is showing more interest in what we’re eating. He has also been putting anything and everything in his mouth!  If he’s holding it … it’s in his mouth!  So, we thought he might be ready to give the cereal another try.  Boy, were we right!  He opened his mouth up each time I put the spoon by his mouth.  When I put the spoon in his mouth he sucked on it.  He of course made a big mess and did push some of it out of his mouth, BUT I’d say he ate the majority of it!  Now, since cereal is supposed to help babies sleep better, the big question is … how long will he sleep before waking up to eat.  I’ve continued to feed him between 10:00-11:00 just before I go to bed each night (aka the dream feed).  This is something I’m thinking about giving up soon, but right now I’m not ready to conquer another milestone or rock the boat with his sleep.  I am finally able to get adequate sleep.  Dropping the dream feed makes me worried that he’ll start waking at weird times during the night … not ready for that again. So, we'll continue with the dream feed and drop it when mommy is ready.
