So as I mentioned before, we are way behind on updating our blog, but slooooooowwwwwly catching up. We had a very wonderful early Christmas present when on December 10th we welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby brother named Caison Daniel Robinson into our family. He may have been early as far as Christmas presents go, but he was a WEEK LATE according to his due date. But based on experience, we expected that. Mom and dad and the older four siblings were all very excited, and he has received no shortage of love and attention. Grandma Carter and Aunt Kerianne were at the hospital to help welcome Caison to the world. Caison weighed in at 1/2 an ounce shy of 9 pounds and over 21 inches long.
Mom wanted to be surprised, while dad and the kids all wanted to find out what we were having. Needless to say, mom got her way. We thought for sure we would have a baby girl. When we left the clinic after the ultrasound and got in the car, the first thing Brendan said was, "I think we'd better start thinking of some boy names." Obviously he thought he saw something I didn't see.
We already had a cute family name picked out for a girl, but were coming up empty handed on the boy names. Many people have asked where we came up with the name Caison. Is it a family name? Does it hold some sort of significance? Is there a deep history to its origin? The answer to all of these questions is simply no. While his middle and last names do have important significance, his first name came to us while laying in bed watching high school football highlights on the 11 o'clock news. That's right. Some unsuspecting teenage boy on a local football team is the source and inspiration for Caison's first given name. We did a little research and found that while it was not on the list of 100 most popular over-used boy names, it is legit and gaining in popularity. Even though we liked the name, it still took us over a week after bringing him home to officially commit and settle on his name. (Mom was sold, she just had to do a little selling to convince dad) As soon as we settled on a name, we knew it fit him perfectly and was meant to be.
Caison is growing very well and is a very happy, content, patient little boy. He must have known before joining our crazy family that those would be requirements for a 5th child in our house! His older brothers and sisters adore him and are a big help. Here are some pictures of Caison's first few days.

We were at the children’s museum the other day and there was a family with two boys named Carter and Caison. They looked like they were about 5 and 3 years old
I bet you are feeling better about getting caught up on blogs. You have a such a darling family and Caison is lucky to be apart of it. Love the video, thanks for sharing your life with us.
