Jonathan, Natalie, and Cantley visit

I was going to post some pictures from Jonathan, Natalie, and Cantley's visit last week but it looks like Natalie has it covered. If you would like to see them, visit www.thegosdins.blogspot.com

We had a ton of fun while they were here. Cantley really loved baby Kason and he thought she was pretty funny. Christmas in February was a real treat! Jonathan MASTERED (see I am generous, Jonathan) snow skiing. We look forward to their next visit!

Karl's baseball season is off to a great start. They won the first four games of the season against Lehigh this weekend. This week is going to be a busy week with 6 games in 5 days. Kason is sick with his second horrible cold. We think we are on the uphill, though. He turned 6 months yesterday and is rolling all over the place, sitting up pretty well, and talking non-stop. Ironically, his favorite sound is Da, da, da, da, da....

more stuff

We had a great night out with some friends for New Years - dinner and dancing at Keswick, while Kason got to stay at home with Nanna!

Karl's Step Up to the Plate dinner was Sat. night (Jan. 26). This is the Virginia Baseball team's dinner to kick off the opening of the season. It was a great event. Terry Francona was the guest speaker. As usual, I had to have my picture made with him! And being the sucker that I am for major league baseball, here is also a picture of me with two of my favorite current Major Leaguers (Ryan Zimmerman-Nationals, Javy Lopez-Red Sox). Can you blame me??? We had a really fun time with everyone after the dinner. Thanks for keeping Kason, Lauren!

A lot of catching up to do!!!

I am so far behind. Somehow I knew blogging wasn't going to be my thing. I am going to try to do a little catching up for Miss Bonnie's sake! I got the message that she isn't to happy with my lack of postings! I tried to update this weekend, but my computer at home wasn't cooperating. I am using my computer at work today, but I don't have all the pictures with me that I need. I will post more later about Nanna's and Brenda's visit and Mommy and Daddy's New Years:)

Kason started daycare at First Steps Infant Development Center on January 7th. He is pictured here with his teacher Ms. Zackia. Kason really loves it there, although his mom is having a terrible time with the adjustment!

Kason had a lot to say the morning of his second day of school. I am sorry that you have to turn your head sideways to see the video. I have no idea how to turn it:)

The new year has brought lots of new to our house. Kason started eating cereal a couple of weeks ago. He has decided that his feet are the coolest thing ever. And he got a new excersaucer (Thanks, OConnor's!). They have the same one at his school and his teachers laugh at him because he can't reach the ground, but he plays in it like the "big kids." (They have theirs on the second level. Ours in on the lowest.)

We got about 3 1/2 inches of snow last Thursday. I took Kason out to take his picture in it. We were only outside for 20 seconds! Later he went out with me to salt the driveway. For those of you who already saw this picture and wondered where his shoes and mittens were, this is how he looked when we went out for 20 mintes!!!

Who needs a pack-n-play? I was putting some things away the other day and set him down in this tote for a minute. He thought it was great. He could sit up and reach all of his toys!

Christmas 2007

Kason had a wonderful first Christmas and was spoiled by all. Mariah sent him the Christmas pajamas. Check out his Cardinal present from his friend Mr. Steve. It was full of all the gear he will need for baseball season. Santa got his Chris Long jersey signed. (Oh and Mommy finally got to meet Howie Long while out at dinner last week:)) He got a beautiful stocking from Martha and Dudley and had so much fun seeing what Santa left there! Of course there is much, much more and we appreciate all of your gifts and missed you all at Christmas time!

We hope to post a new video soon. He has learned lots of new tricks. He has been rolling over for a couple of weeks now. We found him on his tummy in his crib on Christmas morning. He and Karl play "SuperKason" and he still sucks on Karl's nose for those of you who have seen that trick. He likes to grab my face and hair. He has also decided that he likes DuPont. He pulls his hair, but DuPont just rolls over and thinks he is trying to scratch his belly.

A busy December

We have been so busy getting ready for the holiday that we haven't done much blogging. Here are a few pictures of what Kason has been up to. He has been going to work with Mom and Dad, playing with friends, shopping with Daddy, and helping out around the house! He also had his first babysitter.

Clemey's visit

Just after Thanksgiving, Kason had a visit from his cousin, Clemey. She lives in London but was in the US visiting family and friends. We had a great time and were all so happy that she and Kason got to meet!

Tyler's Christmas Party

Kason was invited to a Christmas party today that was hosted by his friend Tyler. Although he was the youngest and the smallest, he still had a good time watching all of the other kids. It is evident by the pictures that the parents had the best time. What we really needed was a picture of all the people taking pictures!
