I Love Swimming Pools

Caden is enjoying swimming this summer. Whether it's his baby pool or a big pool, he has a great time splashing in the water. He'll play in his baby pool for about an hour playing with toys and crawling around in circles. And in a big pool he likes to be on his tummy so he can splash and kick as if he is swimming. He doesn't even mind getting his face wet. He is definitely a water baby.

A Few of My Favorite Things

These 2 pictures represent 2 of Caden's favorite things to do right now: eat and stand.

What can I say? This boy loves to eat! He is aggressive and noisy with each bite. We actually feel bad feeding him in public sometimes because he draws a lot of attention with his squealing and lion roars. After much practice, he finally figured out how to feed himself fruit puffs a few days ago. This is a major accomplishment and help. Now he doesn't have to "ask" me for another one every 2 seconds.

A couple of weeks ago Caden gained the ability to pull himself up to stand. Now that's all he wants to do. It's fun to watch him because it's like he is rediscovering everything from a new point of view. Whenever he has the chance, he will pull up on whatever he can find to test it out. The problem is that many of the things he chooses are not sturdy enough to support him. At least he finally figured out how to sit back down instead of just crashing.
