Just a recap of the last month since some of the posts have been out of order. This wraps up our busy busy July and August. It's been record breaking hot and dry in Houston this summer with no end in sight.

15 month stats and 16 month milestones
I'm very behind on all the things Cason is saying and doing these days. I need to get these written down before I forget and regret it later.
15 Month Stats (he was about 15.5 months at his appt)
Weight: 26lb, 2oz
Height: 33inches (90th percentile)
What's he doing at 16 months?
- Walking, or running everywhere
- Crawls up and down the stairs, trying to learn to walk up them
- Can reach all the lever handles on the doors... meaning he can escape if the deadbolts aren't locked
- Can go down the slide by himself
- Can climb on and off his ride on toys
- Still loves his bed and his bedtime giraffe (we had to buy a couple of extra for travel)
- Saying lots of words, the ones I can think of are
- Shoes - "Shoos"
- Fishies - "Shishes" (in reference to Goldfish crackers)
- Dog
- Cracker - "Crack"
- Grapes - "Gops"
- Hi! - if we give him our cell phones or anything that resembles a phone, he puts it to his ear and says "Hi!"
- Bye
- "Ooooo", "Mmmmm", "Wow", "Whoa". The cutest is when I put down one of his favorite foods and he says "Mmmm".
- "Ma", "Mama", "Da", "Dada"-- on occasion. Dada more than Mama that's for sure.
- Dance - "Dunce"
- Understands everything we say:
- Go find your shoes
- Where's your milk, ball, giraffe, etc?
- Let's go upstairs (he RUNS to the stairs)
- Time to go Night Night (also RUNS to the stairs)
- Lets eat Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner (runs to his high chair and starts grabbing at the tray)
- Want to feed your brother/Admiral? (runs to the food container, waits for us to scoop the food, runs to the door and opens it... I think he mainly just likes opening the door)
- Dunk it (takes whatever toy and dunks it in the basketball goal)
- Where's your ears, eyes, belly button, nose, mouth, feet, etc. He'll point at them all except mouth, in which he just opens and closes his mouth a bunch of times. He can also identify all these things on other people.
- Cason, Dance -- starts bouncing and moving his arms
- Bounce, Bounce/Jump Jump -- he bends his knees, bouncing up and down, tries to jump then sort of falls on his bottom and laughs his head off.
- Give Mommy/Daddy a Kiss/Hug -- the favorite part of my day, oh, I love his hugs and kisses, especially the unprompted ones.
- His favorite things:
- Eggs
- Corn
- Grapes
- Tomatoes
- Being Outside
- Pulling all of his toys out of the cabinet
- Opening and closing doors, especially the ones to the pantry and our closets that have light switches in the door jams. He likes to close himself in our closets where it gets really dark, then he just opens the door back up.
- Bath Time and Bed Time
- His stuffed giraffe
- Stairs
- Daddy, Grandpa and Granpoo -- he loves the men in his life. I know he loves us girls too, but the men, oh, they have a special place.
I'm sure I'm forgetting things... Ryan will probably have more to add to this list, but at least I finally have it written down so I can look back on it later. I love this little guy.

First Sneakers
Since Cason is pretty much always running, we decided he needed some shoes with a rubber sole. After not finding much we liked at Target, we broke down and just got the cute Puma's I'd been coveting online. Ryan wears Puma's, I couldn't resist.
Cason loves them! If I say "go get your shoes" he'll always come back with these over any other pair.

First Haircut
After much disagreement, Ryan finally consented to let me cut Cason's hair. I mean, really, we were starting to get quite the mullet, at least on one side. It was time.
Before
Yay, almost done!
Need a little water
All done, look how grown up!
And a little fun before it dried.
Look at all that hair!!
Our big boy with his big boy haircut.
He did really well, the worst part was getting his hair to actually cut. It was such fine baby hair that it just slipped through the clippers. We can definitely tell that the texture is different but there is still a little wave.
Wonderwild
I go through waves of being a Groupon/Living Social Addict. I recently bought a deal to the new Wonderwild that opened in the Woodlands so that Cason could play for 1/2 price. We invited our friend McCarthy and his mommy Kristin to come play with us Friday morning. Cason had a blast and I know he'd have even much more fun if he were a little older.
Playing on the big inflatable obstacle course.
Then we explored... we weren't quite ready for the big slides but it didn't stop Cason from doing a little dance.
And trying to crawl UP the slide...
He climbed on this little radio flyer and scooted around
And finally found a slide his size.
And we wrapped it up with some playtime in the toy pit.
Cason’s Big Announcement
Yes, that’s right, I’m pregnant. Due Feb 13. We’ll see if Baby #2 decides to come as early as Big Brother.
I’m going to save these two pictures for later in life, I’m sure some good jokes will be had with them.
But really, Cason is super excited…he totally understands what’s about to happen and all. :)
I’ve added a few posts from the past couple of months. For the most part I’ve had a similar pregnancy, though maybe not AS bad as last time. I’ve been a different kind of sick, less throwing up, more nausea, same extreme exhaustion the first 12 weeks. I feel like its ending sooner though, starting to feel good most days now so hopefully I won’t still be puking at 20 weeks. I’ve not gained any weight as of my appt at 13 weeks (actually lost 2 lbs at my 9 week appt and had not lost or gained any at my 13 week.) I’m able to eat more now and am showing just a bit in the evenings.
