what's new with kase?

Our sweet Kase-Man is growing up so fast! It seems like he changes and grows every day. His first tooth finally popped through about a week ago, the next few teeth can't be far behind! He's pulling himself up onto anything and everything, is opening cupboard doors, is walking along furniture, and climbs the stairs (when Mommy's not watching). Since it's been awhile since I've updated, this post will be long, but filled with pictures...I'm sure no one will object :) Here's what's up in the world of Kase:

playing ball is our #1 game
in the morning, the first word we hear is "ball"

i love unpacking things.

i love taking books off of my shelf and throwing them all on the floor.
i love taking blocks out of my firetruck and...

THROWING THEM!!!
I can and will throw just about anything!

I really like being by my mommy. If I see her and I'm not in her arms...I cry. I just really love my mommy.
It was really hot out for a few days. After our walk I was really hot and found this air register...it felt really good. Also notice my pretty puppy who is about to pass out behind me...she's hot too!
Mom gave me some watermelon too.
She thought it might help cool me down.
Do I like it? I don't know.
TULIP TIME!!!
I saw my first parades at Tulip Time.
The big floats were totally awesome. I'm not sure about the noisy bands...
"Hi guys...it's really hot out here. I'm just going to sit here in the shade and look pretty."
Look what I found!!! :)

As you can see from the pictures and his growing cheeks, Kase LOVES to eat! He is a big fan of Mommy's homemade baby food. His favorite foods are yogurt, string cheese, spaghetti, fruit, minestrone, sweet potatoes, OK let's face it...he loves all food. He's also in a screaming phase. Usually the screaming occurs in his car seat or high chair. This scream isn't a mild whine either. This scream is a high-pitched-goosebumps-annoying-temper tantrum type scream. Get the picture?! ;) It's hard to believe that our little boy is almost 11 months old. I VIVIDLY remember this time last year, and the hot weather this past week brought back many fond memories of being 9 months pregnant.

Keith is down to 1 week left of school...me too...but I have to work through the summer. Keith's very much looking forward to this next season of life as a stay-at-home dad! This summer is going to be filled with many Daddy, Kase & Molly days and HOPEFULLY a move to Montezuma!!! Our house selling process is going slowly. We've had a number of people come through, but no offers yet. It's too bad patience is not one of our virtues! It's a good thing that God has taught us that waiting for things is worth it!
