“Well, if your not going to clip my nails, then I guess I’ll do it myself.”

Getting practice for little sister/brother coming in Oct.

  

Uh… I don’t think so Cady-Bug.

Bird Watching

We stopped by the park down the street from our house for a little bird watching… well, actually, it was BIG bird watching.

Just in case you couldn’t tell, there are 5 Bald Eagles in the trees.  During the months of Jan and Feb, there are usually a lot more at dusk in our back yard.  It’s pretty neat to hear all the chatter in the trees.

Swimming with Nana and Gramps

Oops, I forgot this one.  At the hotel where my parents were staying, there was a pool that Cadence got to visit everyday (sometimes twice a day).  She seemed to enjoy dipping her feet in the hot tub and watching the bubbles then actually swimming in the pool.

 

 

 

The Davis’s

Our friends Kasey and Allen (or Bam-Bam as he’s sometimes called) came for a weekend visit from North Carolina.  Cadence instantly took to Allen, it was quite surprising since she it usually takes her a while to warm up to new men.

Sorry Kasey, since we spent a lot of time lounging around the house, we have a bunch of pictures of you in your PJs.

 

Believe it or not, we really do get along quite well.

This is taken at the Mall of America, there is an amusement park in the center of it.

Visit to the Aquarium

Nana and Gramps were nice enough to take us all to the aquarium at the Mall of America.  Cadence really likes seeing all the fish swimming around, although she wasn’t too crazy about it when they swam over her head in the enclosed tunnel.

For some reason, she really liked this shark cage.  She kept going in and out and shutting the door and pushing me out when I tried to come in.  There was also another little boy who she invited in but for some reason I don’t have any pictures of that.

 

Yes Nana, you can film THIS Nemo ;o)

Visit from Nana and Gramps

We got a little visit from my parents a couple of months ago.  At first Cadence was a little stand-offish towards Gramps, but it didn’t take long for her to warm up to him.  They were nice enough to watch her while I worked full days at work for a change.  It was nice to work for a change, but I missed spending my days with my little girl.

 

 

She had a blast because Nana and Gramps let her jump on the bed!!

It's been a while

Sorry I haven't kept up with the blog. Cadence keeps us pretty busy during the day and I've been working on some projects lately that keep me away from the computer.

I think the only news that we have is we started Cadence in a toddler class once a week last week. She loves it! The kids and parents play for about 45 minutes and then they get ready for snack. After snack, the parents get their children engaged in an activity and are able to sneak away to have some parent time. I was really nervous about leaving Cadence with the teachers but I knew they would call into the room we were in if they needed to. The parent time was over and no call to come and get Cadence! I walked back into the room and had great news from the teachers! Both of them said that Cadence did an awesome job. I was really nervous becuase Cadence hasn't experienced anything like that before. Since we aren't putting her in daycare like we wanted to, we knew we needed something so she could interact with children her own age. This class is perfect. I can't wait until our next class on Wednesday! I didn't take any pictures because I wasn't sure how the other parents would feel but hopefully once I get more comfortable with everything, I'll take some pics!
