Merry Christmas!













It's strange to think that at this time last year Caden was in the hospital. It was so much fun to have him home with us to celebrate this year. I enjoyed watching his excitement as he ran around and played with everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful day as well. Merry Christmas!

14 months








The last month has gone by so quickly with the holidays. Caden continues to amaze me everyday. Here is my list of Caden's new discoveries.

1. He noticed his first "bobo." When you ask him about it, he points to the spot on his hand and says "bobo." I know this is the first of many bobo's he will want to show off.
2. He can point to his eye, nose, and mouth. Even more fun for him is to point (grab, squeeze) at the features of the person holding him. He started saying "eye."
3. He still loves to dance. Right now he is really into "Frosty the Snowman." Auntie sent him a musical Christmas card. He walks around the house with it and dances to the song.
4. He loves people. Everywhere we go he makes it his mission to make as many friends as possible. He will do whatever it takes to get someone's attention. At the mall he played peek-a-boo with anyone that would look his way. When we go out to eat, he says "hi" to the people at the table next to us. Last week he got the lady behind us in line to play ball with him. She was running into the aisle to catch the bouncing ball. I could go on and on. I love this friendly quality about him.
5. He LOVES going outside. I know most little kids do, but this was the first month that he actually seemed to care. I know that we will spend a lot of time outside from here on out.

Snow!




It snowed today! Well, it was a little snow mixed with sleet, but it still counts! We took Caden out to see the snow. He was happy outside until he actually touched it. You can see how much he liked it by the picture!
