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.
