Cole and Casey

Casey is 7 months old today! He is a happy, happy kid and is often just smiling away! Casey continues to be a man on the move and has no problems getting where he wants to go. It might be rolling, it might be scooting, it might be on his back with leg kicks (lovingly know as "donkey kicks") propelling him forward... to Casey it is all the same. He is up on hands and knees (and rocking back and forth) too but the actual crawling has yet to begin. And sitting? Nope. Not yet. We truly believe Casey feels that simply sitting in one place is just a waste of time. Why sit when you can be MOVING somewhere?

Not a tooth to be seen yet but the increased drool and intermittent fussiness for the last few afternoons makes us think that something might be happening soon. A month ago Casey was weighing in at 15 lbs 7 oz and we are sure he’s put on some decent weight and height since then. We'll find out in a couple weeks at his next doctor appointment. Despite his perpetual motion - and thus seemingly burning off every calorie he takes in - he is a growing boy to be sure.

Casey has a great voice and chats with us all the time. He wakes up and talks - a great sound to hear first thing in the morning. He does a lot of "Da Da Da Da Da"'s and while Mama likes to think he is saying "Daddy", Daddy isn’t quite convinced that the connection is there yet. Either way, his voice is certainly heard! And, like his brother at this age, Casey is a social guy. However, the one person who can truly get a belly laugh out of him is Cole. Cole is so attentive and sweet with Casey and in turn Casey just adores big brother. The bond with these two is a strong one and we are thrilled.

And we recognize a double celebration today because Casey has just completed his DOC-Band treatment. A beautiful round head is a nice present for 7 months! We’ll do a separate post on the process/results, but with a total treatment time of 10 weeks (exactly the same as Cole); Casey is sporting a head that Charlie Brown would be proud of.

As always... here is a look at the past month:









Here is a glance at Casey's progression over the past 6 months



And finally... a look at Cole at 7 months next to his 7 month old brother. Note these are both from the day that each had finished their DOC band treatment and the fact that they are wearing the same shirt is NOT a coincidence ;)
