Casen's crib, made with love

Brandon had always wanted to make a crib for our baby, so he did. The wood he used is blue pine and it is from my Grandpa's property. It is beautiful! My Dad and him plained the wood, sanded it, cut it and pieced it all during Christmas break, so when we came home all he had to do was finish sanding it, and put a finish on it. I am so impressed with what Brandon can do. It is a beautiful crib and Casen sleeps great in it.

Catching up

Casen was able to meet one of his cousins from Virginia for the first time earlier this month. Brandon's cousin, Nelson and his wife Suzanne were visiting Utah and flew up to Twin to come visit. Colton is 3 months older. It was a wonderful day and very special for Casen's great-grandpa Mac to be able to hold 2 of his great-grandsons, both with middle names of Mac.




Casen is just in love with our new dog Taz. Anytime he seems him, he will laugh or smile and squeal. Taz has been a great puppy for us and is so patient with him. He will just lay there and let him pull on him.

Casen is 6 months!

Wow, I can not believe that Casen is already 6 months old...it seems like we are just getting the hang of being parents and now so much is changing. He is sitting up, rolling over and eating vegetables? When did all this happen? He has been such an amazingly happy baby. Seriously, I am so grateful for his lil guy. He wakes up smiling, he goes to sleep smiling and yesterday during his vaccinations, just after he got poked, I picked him up and he smiled at the nurse! We love his laugh and fun personality.



Just after his appointment yesterday we went and got some 1st foods for him to try. I wasn't sure how it would go, but he loved it! We tried carrots first and he is qutie a fan. And a quick learner...only after a few times of us feeding him, he wanted the spoon to do it himself. Things got a little messy, but nothing a fun bath couldn't fix.
