Some updates

So, since I have been the biggest slacker lately with the blog, I suppose it's time to post some updates about our little munchkin and Jon and I.
Things have been a bit crazy with us and are just starting to settle down. As you may or may not know, Jon went out to Jersey in November. Then, my mom came for two weeks for a visit and Thanksgiving. Jon came home and I was busy trying to study for a gymnastics judging test. I realized that there was way too much information to learn in the little bit of time I had and decided not to take the test. I was stressing out about it way too much it was a good thing that I didn't take it.
Jon is trying to work full time so that we can give Cadence the experience of daycare for half days but isn't having much luck. We found a great home daycare and now are just waiting for Jon to find a full time 'gig'. Cadence is at the age where she needs to be around other kids and adults. She does very well when she is around other kids but isn't around them enough to grasp the whole social aspect. We can't wait until it works out.
Cadence just had her 18 month dr. appt. She is in the 10th percentile for her height, and 25th for weight. She doesn't like to eat very much but the doctor isn't worried about it, so neither are we. We think that her favorite foods are mac and cheese, toast/bread, and cheese. She loves her milk and often asks for juice.
She has sooo many words, too many for me to count. She's starting to put them together to form sentences. She will repeat almost any word that we say. She continues to use her sign language on the words she knows and we try to teach her new signs every week.
She is a very mobile 18 month old. She loves climbing on anything and everything. She's constantly trying to push our buttons and trying to do things she knows she's not supposed to. She's also started having tantrums. When she hears the word 'no' and she doesn't want to, she will start by stomping her feet then she'll fall to her butt and sometimes she'll lay down on her back and kick her feet and other times she'll roll to her stomach and kick her feet and bang her hands on the floor. It's hard not to laugh when she does it because it is so cute but also a bit frustrating.
I'm sure there's a ton of stuff I forgot but I'll post it when I remember.
