6 Months







Kaisson turned 1/2 a year old on Wednesday!  He's growing like a weed.  He weighed in at 16 lbs. 5 oz. and is 27.5" long.  He is right above the 75th percentile for his height...he might take after the Norwood's and Freeny's with his height!  

He still isn't a big fan of eating food.  I thought that he would like it, but you have to put on a dog and pony show for him to even open his mouth; and you better be ready or those jaws will lock tight if you wait too long!  =)  I made up some homemade applesauce and bananas.  That has to be better than the bought baby food...so we'll see if he likes that any better.  He did like chewing on a cantaloupe the other night. We had cantaloupe for dinner and he LOVED it!  He couldn't get enough.  I think he might be taking after his Pop and Papa on that one!  =)

He is constantly talking these days...most the time he's talking over whoever else is talking or the tv...it's hilarious!!!  

He's flipping over from back to front and front to back, and yesterday sat up by himself for 5 long minutes.  His Nana and Papa gave him a toy guitar that plays music and lights up.  He loves this toy and sat up with it for a long time today and yesterday.  Hard to believe he's getting so big!  I told Adam today that since he can now sit up alone, he should start rolling the ball to him.  Kaisson already has one ball that is holey and he loves it!  So, hopefully Adam will get his little athlete that he so desires.  =)  

Kaisson also got to meet his Aunt Gwynne, Uncle Sam, and cousins (Courtney, Etta, and Lucas) this month.  They were down visiting some family and we had the opportunity to meet up with them in Dallas.  We had a great time getting to catch up!!!  

Spring Break to Mississippi and California








Kaisson is quite the traveler!!!  In a week and 1/2 he visited Mississippi and California.  The first part of Spring Break we drove to Mississippi to visit my grandparents.  My grandparents loved getting to see him and love on him.  They couldn't believe all that he was able to do.  My Granddaddy was amazed at how inquisitive he was with toys and the environment.  

After heading back from Mississippi and working 2 days, we flew out to California to visit my friend Melodee, her baby girl Josie, and her husband Jeff.  My parents for Christmas purchased me a ticket to visit this special friend...so, we were so excited!!!!  We spent a day flying there and a day flying back....Kaisson did great and everyone bragged on what a great traveling baby he was. We had a blast hanging out with Melodee...the only drawback was that it wasn't long enough.  Josie enjoyed getting to play with Kaisson.  Kaisson wasn't too sure about Josie though.  I enjoyed getting to visit with my sweet friend and it made me long for her to live closer!
