Our Super Baby...

Cade had his 9 Month Well Baby Exam today (yeah, even though he's 10 months, LOL, just a little late). Everything went great! We saw a new doctor today and Cade did great with him, smiled & talked & showed off a lot.

He is 20 pounds 5 ounces and 30 inches long!

The BEST part about today... NO SHOTS!!! :)

Still having trouble with his eczema but we're trying some new things & hoping to get it cleared up.

We talked about separation anxiety & stranger anxiety at this age... separation anxiety, I can already see in him. Stranger anxiety... so far he's never met a stranger!

We talked about making the switch from formula to milk at 1. Turning his carseat around at 1. ONE? Seems like he was just born yesterday!

Here are a few pictures from today... Cade in his Superman PJs. Derek had a pair of PJs like this when he was a kiddo :) It even has a little cape in the back.

Howdy!

Getting ready to run errands with momma... I thought he looked especially cute today!


I couldn't get him to smile for ME... he was too busy smiling at the cartoons!


His newest trick is climbing over the bar on the bottom of his high chair. He does it a dozen times a day.




Woo hoo! I did it again, mom!






Remember the days that I would do Cade Photoshoots & take like 60 pictures at a time?!?! Those days are over! Just getting him to sit still for ONE picture is impossible!!!








Okay, I give up! LOOK AT MY TEETH!!! :)


And finally all that work paid off!


Thanks for looking! Hope everyone is staying warm!

LOTS of pics!!!

We had to reschedule Cade's checkup today... his doctor wasn't back from her rounds at the hospital... so instead of waiting X hours (who ever knows how long it will be?) we rescheduled. So new appointment on Friday.

I've been snapping away with my camera, my little cutie just LOVES being mobile! He's into everything! I love it though. I love to watch him explore & discover new things... and it's so funny to see him take off after the cats. Their days of ruling this house are over! :)

Now for LOTS of pics!

I was bringing groceries into the house on Monday afternoon... I came into the living room & couldn't find Cade... THIS is where he was! Watching cartoons.


Early this morning... I wish I were so happy to get up in the mornings!






(love this one)


Trying out his new carseat! I think he loves it!


Crawling to momma.


Opps, there's Josie!


Just a little closer...


Look mom, I found a box!


Baby in the box!


He insists on sitting on this vent... I don't know why...


Love that little butt, LOL


And now... lots of closeups & I realize that my son sticks his tongue out 90 percent of the time!










Almost got a handfull of BRODIE!


Thanks for looking!

In case you missed the local news yesterday...

HAHA...

CADE IS 10 MONTHS OLD!

As of yesterday, January the 10th, he is 10 months old.
No more single digit months for my little man!

The saddest part... no pictures. Can you believe it? I feel like such a bad momma. I didn't even get my camera out once this weekend! So I promise to take pictures double time this week... promise.

He has his "9 month" well baby checkup on Tuesday, so I'll be excited to report all of his stats... stay tuned for that!

Cade's Little Duckies... and a few new pics...

He chases this duckie toy all over the kitchen for an hour at a time! Now that he's mobile, this is a REALLY fun toy!



I LOVE this picture. I snapped it as he was crawling to me. He comes straight for me with that little tongue out.


Playing in the kitchen floor.


Can't play in the kitchen floor without a big spoon & bowl!


Playing with his musical table... he loves it.




I don't think he realized he was standing by himself. He's getting pretty good!

Cade's New Talent...

I uploaded a few videos of Cade's new talent... crawling!

This is from yesterday, one of his first "official" crawls... Brodie was his target.


From today... crawling to momma!


And a funny one... he had a hard time on the kitchen floor. For one thing, he doesn't do well in pants... especially pants that are too big!

Cade is Crawling...

Well our baby boy is officially mobile. I was really excited to see this day come... but after half a day of chasing after him, moving him, moving things out of his hands and out of his path, I am exhausted. Where did my tiny baby go? The one that just laid there and started into my eyes, just begging me to pick him up & cuddle him. I'll tell you where he is not... he is not in any ONE place for a very long amount of time!

And it happened so fast! He got up at 6 a.m., and by 7:30 he was down for a nap... a 3 HOUR NAP! He woke up, ate lunch, played a little while... and he started acting sleepy again. I was surprised after such a long morning nap, but I tried to rock him anyway. He fought & obviously wasn't sleepy enough to sleep, so I sat him back down in the floor amongst his toys... and he just took off! Just like that! Just like he'd been doing it for weeks. And the best part of all... what did he go after first thing?!?! BRODIE! Our poor cat, he is already the most skiddish cat on the planet. And evidently the dumbest too, because instead of taking the high ground & jumping up on a chair or something, he'd just move a few feet... Cade would crawl to him, he'd move a few more feet.

I got some video today but I'll try to get some better in the morning & post. He'll be all fresh & full of energy in the morning, so that should be good.

Just a few new pics...

Can you believe this was just 2 days after Christmas?!?! Derek is wearing SHORTS! Okay, KY weather has a tendency to be like this... I was glad because we took Cade's new ride outside for a little bit. Not long though because the wind kept taking his breath away (and his hat!)




Enjoying his Sing-Along-Stage. I'll say it again, this is an AWESOME toy. Cade loves it.


Playing with my old keyboard. I just thought it was cute because he has that tongue stuck out. He's getting pretty good on the keys. He knows not to bang... he is really gentle & very thoughtful :)


After a bath in his new puppy towel. So cute!


And last... you can tell our little man is teething. Look at those rosey red cheeks!

A few little updates...

Sorry it's been a few days since I've updated. I guess we've just been recovering from the holidays this week. Thought I'd better update a little before I get in trouble with my readers ;)

Cade has 2 new teeth... both of his top front teeth came in this week. They are just below the gum line, barely noticeable, but they're DEFINITELY there! For one thing, his bite HURTS! And I guess because it's new, he thinks he should grit them with his bottom teeth, which sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me!

He is finally mobile. He doesn't exactly crawl on all 4s but he can get across the living room doing the army crawl in a matter of seconds! He's really fast. Just kind of drags himself on his belly. It's so funny.

He is getting much better at entertaining himself for longer periods of time. He will sit in the floor & play with all his new toys. I have a basket that I pile all of his little toys into... he loves getting into that basket and pulling out toys, one at a time, playing with one for a while, throwing it in the floor and then moving on to the next toy. He eventually empties the basket and then my living room looks like a disaster!

He's eating really well, new finger foods and table foods all the time. Still can't get him to actually feed himself but I'm sure that my rotten boy will eventually figure it out.

He is really starting to jabber now. Lately it has been "da da da da da da" until I think my head will explode. I asked him to please throw in some "mom mom" too, just to humor me. He DOES say "mom mom" when he wants me or is crying... but for the other 20 hours in the day, it's "da da". And then there are the random jabbering sounds. I caught him talking to his rubber duckie in the bathtub the other night. He was just looking at it and jabbering. I just couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking!

That's it for now! I'll post some new pics when I get them uploaded. Hope you all had a happy New Year!

A Cade & Brady Video!

Christmas Eve night... Cade & Brady were in the floor at their great-grandparents' house. Evidently Brady was being a bad boy because Cade thought he needed a spanking! Hahaha... how cute is this?!?!
