Casen's Five Month Letter


Casen,
We have had a crazy busy month. Welcome to summer as a Gordon. Dad was gone a LOT in June to different camps. You spent a week with Granna because the rest of us were at Falls Creek, but I don't think you minded the concentrated attention and spoiling I'm sure you got.


You have just been busy growing and doing great things. You are getting so big and smart and coordinated and you're still opinionated when you think its necessary. You are sitting up really well. You're still a little wobbly and loose your balance when you reach too far, but you're making progress. You really like this new view of life around you. It puts you right in the middle of the action with your big brothers who are rarely still.


You weighed in a month ago at 15 pounds and 7 ounces and you were 25 inches tall. Right on the 50% curve for both height and weight. Just perfect. You are wearing size two diapers, but are getting close to a size three. You still wear your 3-6 month clothes.


You are sleeping like a champ! Most of the time you sleep all night and we just LOVE ya for it! You biggest brother was far and away the worst sleeper of the trifecta.


You have started eating rice cereal and you like it. You are figuring out what to do with the goop we're shoveling in your mouth and you make the funniest expressions while you eat. We will add oatmeal as soon as your rice is gone and move on from there.


We have had lots of fun adventures this summer. This month we went to the park in Elk City to ride the train and carosel. You cheered on the big kids from the sidelines and enjoyed some lovies from your Nana Lue, Granna and Popper. We also played the part of cheerleader for Tucker's weeball games this year. He play four games. At the games you and Bennett got passed around and loved on a lot from our Sayre friends and most of the time napped through at least part of the games. You turned five months old on the Fourth of July. You LOVED watching the fireworks and sat captivated by them for the entire firework show.


You love bath time, watching your brothers, sitting in laps/being held, and smiling. You do not like laying on your back, being alone or your car seat.


You are just a joy these days! You smile so easy and so often. You love to be held and take in our crazy world around you. You don't talk yet, but we sure know what you're thinking most of the time. You still are either really chill or really not. Your all or nothing personality is tricky sometimes, but you also know what you need when you need it. Things continue to get easier with you and I'm so thankful that you are the third boy in our family. I can't imagine life without you now that you're here! 


I love you more! 
Momma
