Wow, Bryce turned 10 months this week! Where in the world has time gone??? Bryce is really starting to develop his personality. He's so sweet and laid back most of the time, but he does have a bit of a temper when I don't feed him fast enough! ;) He gave me the best Mother's Day gift I could ask for: He said "Mama" for the first time on Mother's Day! Twice! Granted it happened because I wasn't feeding him fast enough and he was mad...but it still happened! Then he wouldn't say it anymore until today!
Also, he's learning what he likes and dislikes to eat. He loves pizza crust! And french fries. And noodles. And of course most baby food, except for peas and anything with whole grains of rice. He doesn't seem to like the texture right now. And he doesn't really like Puffs or Cheerios anymore. He'd rather have the Gerber cheeto-like chips. And he likes Mum-Mums. (Rice wafers)
We're still breastfeeding. That's one thing he loves! He's mostly sleeping all night. He will go down at about 8:30 and maybe wake up at midnight or 1 and then he's out til about 8. Then I nurse him and he goes back down til about 9:30 or 10.
He's a very good baby, I hardly know he's there sometimes! He's got a pleasant personality and he's just an all-around joy to be around!
His Mimi (my mom) has taught him to show his muscles! It is the cutest thing! He will flex his arms and make this funny face! I'm going to try and video him doing it!
Well, I guess that's it for now. I can't believe I'm gonna have to start planning a 1 year old's birthday party soon!

Update on Cayson
Yeah, I've become a lousy blogger. I have no idea what my problem is. But I figured I'd give my many readers some updates. I know y'all have been on the edge of your seat waiting for the next chapter in the life of the Martins. (Did you notice the extreme sarcasm?)
Cayson
Cayson is growing up WAY too fast! We're still potty training. Ugh...it feels like he'll still be in pull-ups when he's in college!!! He's doing fairly well...there are still obstacles though. He does the best when he's in regular underwear, but I haven't gotten brave enough to try that when we're not at home. However, when he gets busy playing, he just doesn't make it. Also, I still put him in a pull-up when he's asleep or napping. He will actually stay dry about half the time. But he thinks when he wakes up dry that he's done his job. He doesn't want to try to go potty then because he says "I'm still dry!" Any ideas, moms? Also, we briefly tried the "let him stand up and shoot at fruit loops" trick. He did it twice and won't do it anymore! And he gets a sticker every time he goes in the toilet. That's actually working the best, but we still have accidents.
Funny things he's said:
"You have guitars on your pull-up, your underwear?"-when I had put on a pair of Shaun's guitar hero boxers because I couldn't find any other shorts!
"I cute, Mama"-just about every time he gets ready to go somewhere.
"Mama, I wanna talk"-the other day when he was trying to use every excuse he could think of to not take a nap.
"Miss Kenzie"-what he calls our student pastor's daughter Mckenzie, who is about 20 months or so.
"Miss Carriet"-referring to Miss Kenzie's mom, Carrie.
"Roll the window up, Daddy!"-when we were heading to church and Cayson didn't want the wind to mess his hair up!
"Go slow Daddy!"- we live on a mountain and Shaun likes to drive down a little faster than we are comfortable with! ha ha
There are tons more, but I'm already afraid that these might be "You had to be there" type phrases!
He still loves his sports. Any time there is a sport on TV, he has to go get the corresponding equipment for the sport and play along! No matter if it's football, baseball, or bowling! And he's getting quite good at throwing and catching the football!
He's also getting a little jealous of Bryce. As Bryce gets older and is playing with more toys, Cayson doesn't want to share! We're working on it, though.
He knows his ABC's, but won't sing the traditional ABC song. It has to be the one from "Choo Choo Soul with Genevieve" on Disney.
He can also sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and a number of other songs by himself. Including "Love the Lord your God"! (I'm really not sure if that's the name of it or not)
I just realized that this post has gotten long and it's just Cayson, so I think I'll start a new post and talk about Bryce!
