First Swing

It was so nice out today! Jon took Cadence for a walk to the park right across the street from our house. She had her first experience with a swing! So cute!

New tricks

Cadence is starting to become more and more bold and brave. She recently has started to let go of our hands when she is standing up. We actually got some good video footage of her last night. She now lets go and stands where she is for a few seconds. She'll be walking before we know it. She's also getting very very close to crawling. She's moving all over the place any way she can without crawling. Crazy little girl!!

It's April!

What a way to start the season of Spring!!! Thank you Uncle Todd and Aunt Kristy for the AWESOME outfit! I know that the hat doesn't really match (in color) but that was Jon's doing.

So cute

What is with people these days? If you have the slightest bit of uncertainty about the sex of a baby it's best to just call it 'the baby' not he, not she, not boy or girl...just baby. I can't tell you how many people asked how hold 'he' was on this particular day or commented on how cute 'he' was. We'd answer by saying 'Well, SHE is 10 months old' or 'Thank you we think SHE'S pretty cute too'! There is a small hint that the baby might be a girl....if she's wearing pink...pretty good clue!!

So to put an end to this I'm starting to put her in hats or head wraps when I take her out!

One for Aunt Kiki

Dear Aunt Kiki and cousin Aidan,
Thank you so much for teaching me how to eat my baby food. Yesterday I ate almost a whole container of banana yogurt (I finished it for breakfast this morning). I also ate half of a container of green beans yesterday. Today, I ate half of a jar of applesauce. We had a busy day today and I'm not feeling well otherwise I probably would have eaten more. It's not much but it's definately a start. Thanks again!!!!
Love, Cadence (and her mom and dad)

Before and After

Since we have kind of a small space in our living room for all of Cadence's toys, I thought it would be a good idea to keep all of her books seperate. I found a home for them and started putting them all away (keep in mind these are just her board books). She found them before I was even done putting them all away. How can you not smile at this mess? I love that she is totally into books!

My new Friends

While we were home my mom gave Cadence some little stuffed animals of Mickey and Minnie. She absolutely loved them and wouldn't let them go. So, we went to the MOA today and found some bigger ones for her. She doesn't stop giggling at them when she sees them.
