Someone LOVES his bedtime stories!

Especially when daddy does scary voices. These boys kill me!

7 Months Old

This little stinker will be 7 months old on Monday! I can't believe it, where did the time go??? He is so happy, he laughs at everything. He loves his daddy and puppies, and FINALLY reaches for mama.

We think we figured out what was causing his mystery rash- detergent! Not just laundry, but EVERYTHING has detergent rather than good old-fashioned soap. So we're working on eliminating detergent from our house- it is HARD! Even Ivory soap is made from detergent! Who would have thought!?! If you're interested in learning about how detergent may cause a rash, go here.

In other exciting news, we are headed to Phoenix on the 23rd. We are so excited to introduce Kason to all our family and friends who still live out west. I am especially excited to eat breakfast at all the fabulous Jewish delis out there! We need a Jewish deli in Richmond, ASAP. Who wants to get in on that???

6 Months Old

Kason will be SIX MONTHS OLD tomorrow! I can't believe my baby is halfway to one year old!!! And the size of a one-year old. Makes me want another one, ASAP, so I can hold a "little" baby again.

Things I LOVE about my little love:

• He sleeps 10 or 11 hours every night (like this).





• He is FINALLY taking great daytime naps.



• He eats like he is about to hibernate (not kidding- the boy will eat 6-8 ounces of solids AFTER an 8 oz bottle... three times a day!!!).



• He giggles like crazy, especially when he's watching the puppies.



• He snuggles with his mama every night during our bedtime story.



• He loves grabbing daddy's glasses.



• He thinks ponytails are hilarious.



• He turns when we call his name.



• He can totally sit up by himself but chooses not to out of pure laziness (I can relate!)

Things I don't necessarily love about my little love:

• Cutting his first tooth.

And here are his 6-month stats:

Height- 29.5 inches (well above 95th percentile)

Weight- 21 lbs 14 oz (above 95th percentile)

Head Circumference- 18 inches (95th percentile)

He is a big healthy boy.

Bouncing....kinda

Kason LOVES his bouncer, but sometimes it's a bit much!

Some of you may have noticed the dramatic increase in my blog posts this month- I'm boycotting Facebook for some very immature reasons (which I will gladly explain in person) and am utilizing Blogger for everything Kason.

Kason still has the rash around his eye, but I tried a homemade (tee hee hee) remedy recommended by CV.... and it seems to be working!!!! You'll have to get the recipe from her! One wonderful milestone Kason hit recently- He hugs! He'll wrap his arms around my neck and rest his head on my cheek and I just DIE!! He's probably trying to pull my hair, but I'm allowed to be in denial. :)

A little news about me: I started my calling as Primary Secretary on Sunday and Whew! it was intense! All those little bodies running around being cute (and sometimes TOO cute, if you know what I mean). I never realized how calm Young Women's was! I look forward to working with all the Primary Presidency gals, I know I will learn tons and hopefully develop better organizing skills! I have big shoes to fill- we all miss LC!

Anywho, that's all I got.

Strange Rash

So Kason's had a weird rash around his right eye for several weeks. The pediatrician wasn't concerned and said to only come back if it gets worse- apparently babies get strange rashes pretty often and they can last a long time. Still freaks me out, so if you see K with a shiny, bumpy, red eye- no worries! It's not contagious and I have consulted a doctor!!

Kason has also discovered just how tasty his feet can be:

And just how miserable Tummy Time is!

And he loves his BFF Max! Only six weeks and six pounds apart! :)
