Then and Now

Then
Now

I cant believe it has been over six months since Causey was born! She has grown (yes Neal she has actually grown) and changed so much! I cant remember my life before she came! She is the best thing that has ever happened to David and me! She was defiantly earlier than David and i would have planned, but God doesn't always ask for my opinion! Thank goodness!!

I can sit up

I can sit up and play with my toys (for a while) then i fall over and some times it hurts cause my parents only have one really thin rug in the house!

Sippy Cup

Everybody keeps asking me if she uses a sippy cup, so i bought one and gave it to her! She looked at me like "lady your crazy, what am i suppose to do with this? Why would i use this when you do all the work with my bottle.?"

When do they start using a sippy cup?

What do you put in it?

Why does she need one?

When do i give it to her?

Doesn't she get a milk bottle till a year?

I think there should be parenting classes on how, what, when and where to start feeding your child! Formula, fruits, vegetables, cereal, oatmeal, sippy cups....................

New fall digs!

This is me modeling my new fall play clothes. It turned cool for about 2 hours and so my mom took me to get new clothes! My dad will eventually find out and probably get mad, but until the credit card bill comes we are good to go!!

Na Na Na Boo Boo............

Her new favorite thing is to stick her tongue out! Not real sure what that's about..........

6 month checkup

We went for our 6 month checkup yesterday. She is 15.10 lbs (50%) and 24'' (10%)! Yeah, growth!

Then when the doctor got to her head measurement she said "hmm..that cant be right?" So she re-measured and re-measured, yep it was right! Then she said the words no mother wants to hear.

"I think we need to send Causey over to Methodist Hospital for some testing, her head has grown too much too fast and i want to run some tests." I about fell over.

Not that my child has some huge head, but the percentage of growth was more than she felt comfortable with (20% to 75% in two months). So they scheduled her for a head x-ray and ultrasound (none of which are easy to get on a 6 month old who has missed two naps and two feedings).

Anyway, all the tests came back normal! She was cleared to go home! We are so thankful! There is nothing that will bring you to your knees faster than the thought of something being seriously wrong with your child! So...anyway, just a little update into our lives.............guess i better go check on my large headed child!! Just kidding!

Sitting is hard work

Hayden and Causey

This is Hayden showing Causey how her fancy toy works, and Causey wondering why her mom wont get her one!

Me and my friend

Sparks and Causey sitting in a tree.......

We had a little play date with Sparks they were so cute! He has gotten so big and cute, that Causey couldnt help but hold his hand!

Baby Beckett

Introducing..............................baby Beckett!

Isnt he beautiful! I am so excited for Brittney and Derek! I look forward to seeing this little boy grow up and date Causey! How fun would that be!! Congrats!

6 am photo shoot

Hi, its me Causey! When i am in Jackson my Poppy listens for me in the morning and then comes and rescues me from my crib (something about letting mom get some more sleep). We usually go out and shoot squirrels (granted he has the Wall Street Journal, me and a high power BB gun all going at the same time) but this morning we had a photo shoot in my p.j.'s!

Tweetie and Poppy are much more fun in the morning than my mom!

pre-Church photo-op

She knows the drill, get ready for church, yell at Tweety to hurry and then Poppy takes my picture! She has it down pat. This sweet cap we got on the coast from one of Chris' friends at the sip n see! I am going to cry when she won't let me put a bonnet on her anymore!

So serious Causey

What could she possibly be thinking about?
