Casey takes a few steps!

For the last 2 weeks Casey has taken a couple of steps here and there! I finally decided to video camera it with my cell phone! I'm just hoping he doesn't start walking until Kyle comes home from AIT in 12 days!! Sorry I'm talking loud in the background. I get so excited whenever Casey takes steps.

Today I took Casey to his doctors appointment. There they weighed and measured him. He's slowed down a lot with his weight because he's so active crawling and walking along furniture all of the time and his height has also slowed down a little bit but he's still above average (67%)! I realized after the appointment that Casey is half of my height at 28.75 inches. Also at the appointment he got his finger pricked to test for his iron level and they gave him another Hepatitis B shot. I must say Casey is the BEST at getting shots! He didn't cry when the nurse first pricked him. He just stared up at her with his big brown eyes and gave her the 'who are you' look. She spent a good 4 minutes trying to get blood from his finger but he didn't make one sound. Then she put a band aid on his finger and layed him down for the shot. He was way to busy trying to get the band aid off of his finger to even notice the shot. He's such a good baby!

Fun Adventures with Casey.

After I unloaded the dishes Casey decided to climb in the dishwasher while I was cleaning the sink. He's such an active little boy!

Piano Boy!

Casey Standing by himself!

For the last week Casey will occasionally let go of what he'll be leaning on for support to stand by himself.

Caseys first Easter!

Last Easter Casey was in my tummy but now he's 9 months old!

DADA

After I dropped Kyle at the airport yesterday he said "Dada" for the first time. I had to quickly call Kyle to have Casey say it to him. Kyle loved hearing Casey say Dada. Ever since then he says Dada ALL OF THE TIME!!! I love it! I've been trying to get him to say it for the last month and now he says it constantly! Everything is Dada to him!

Oklahoma (Kyles graduation from BT)

Well, Casey and I are back from Oklahoma! It was such a nice trip! We got to spend a week with Kyle! I couldn't have asked for a better Birthday present thanks to my parents who flew us out to see Kyle! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Kyle in formation. Before we could see each other they made us wait with the soldiers backs to us. The suspense was too long for me!

Casey looks so much like Kyle.

Casey got a hold of my cell phone.

He realized he got caught.

Kyle with his battle buddy Labelle and his other friend Grichar. Both of them stayed at the same hotel as us and so they got to catch up with each other.




We ate at Applebees with the Janssen Family on graduation day! It was very good!

Casey spilled the cheerios which were on the desk then sat down and decided to eat them off of the floor.

Casey and I had fun doing laundry at the hotel.

Kyle took this picture of Casey after a long day of playing with him!

Kyle had a lot of fun reading Caseys elmo book to him as you can tell by their happy faces! They're so cute with each other!

This is how Casey looks after a long nap. Don't worry he was happy soon after when Kyle rough housed with him!

Casey wanted to play with the fire.

Kyle being a good daddy and watching him.

Our last day with Kyle. It was so sad to leave.

We took a stroll around the base. It was a really nice day considering that it snowed the day before.

Casey loved being on Kyles shoulders!
