Cason had his 8 month pictures made several weeks ago...here are a few of my favorites!
The photographer had a "helper" whose sole purpose was to make the babies smile. Needless to say, there may be some attrition over at Portrait Innovations...
Halloween Costume for this year...
This is an outfit that Ryan, Chris, & Tyler all had their pictures made in at this age...
We got to see Aunt Sharron last week since she came to Atlanta! We met for dinner at Aspens and Cason had a lot of fun playing patty-cake with her at the table...and tugging on her glasses.
Cason officially knows what the camera is. I mean, he should since it's been in his face from day one. Saturday morning I decided to take a picture of him lounging in his pajamas and every single time I put the camera up to take a picture, this is what I got. Call the modeling agency, I think we have a prospect!
We took Cason to the pumpkin patch Sunday afternoon to pick out a pumpkin. He had fun playing in/eating the grass and slapping the pumpkins. Next year he'll really be able to pick out his own!
We celebrated two family birthdays in the past week...my second cousin, Sammy's, and Uncle Tyler's! Sammy's birthday party was last Saturday at Monkey Joe's, an inflatable playground in Douglasville. Everyone had fun, including the adults because we could act like kids too. If you know my dad, you know he is extremely quiet and has a very dry sense of humor. We talked him into going down the steepest slide they had and I couldn't wait to be at the bottom to catch his expression...he cracks me up. Every now and then ol' Joe will let his hair down and it's priceless when he does. Cason wasn't too sure about the slides. He pretty much kept the same expression when we made it to the bottom. I think there was just a lot going on that was distracting him.
We went to dinner last night for Uncle T's 21st birthday. Me, Ryan, Cason, Renee, Beth and David all met him at Pappasito's off Windy Hill since he was coming from school and would need to quickly get back to do some studying...ha ha ha, just kidding! Despite having shots earlier in the day and cutting his third tooth, Cason was an angel the whole time we were there. The only mishap was when he, oh yeah, dialed 911 from my cell phone. He LOVES playing with my cell phone so from time to time I'll let him fiddle with it, with the keys locked. Well when your keys are locked and you roll the little scrolly button in the middle, it gives you the option to make an "Emergency Call." Somehow he managed to roll the button, click on the Emergency Call option, and then click it again to say, "OK." Next thing I know, I look down and my phone says, "Connected, Emergency Call." I was like, "Oh, crap!" and hit end immediately hoping the call hadn't connected yet. Right after that, my phone starts ringing some 770.421 number and I'm thinking to myself, "should I answer that?" Thank goodness I did because it was the dispatcher calling me back to make sure everything was okay. I assured him everything was fine, without disclosing that it was my 8 month old playing with my cell phone who rang him. I mean, if ambulances would've showed up at Pappasito's, I would have crawled under the table.
So tell me...what do you do with your expensive, beautiful wedding dress you wear one time and then hang up in a bag at your parents' house in some extra bedroom? YOU WEAR IT AGAIN TO A WEDDING DRESS PARTY OF COURSE! Brilliant! Me, Lisa, Corinne, Mandy, Ashley and Amanda played bean bag toss, ate hors d'oeuvres, took pictures in front of the church, hung out at Atkins Park, and at the end of the night...cut the miniature wedding cake Amanda had made. We had so much fun being bridezillas one more time!
Doing a little domestic cleaning...
