Helping Daddy build a pergola.



Caden helped me bake cupcakes for the fist time.

At 22 months Caden started saying the ABC's all the way through including every letter. Since then, the alphabet has become a passion. He sings them over and over and over again. He also progressed from counting to 10 at 22 months, to counting to 15 at 23 months. I bought him bathtub letters and numbers, and he was able to identify 19 letters at random without any prompting and all the numbers 1-9! I had no idea that his letter recognition was that good! It's just so amazing to me to watch as he learns new things.

His other interest right now is listening to music. He loves to hear his CDs! As soon as we get in the car he says, "I want a song!" He's very demanding! The cutest thing is that sometimes after a song ends, he'll say "That's a great song!" Right now his favorite songs to sing are ABC's, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Jesus Loves Me, Elmo You Can Drive My Car, Elmo's World, If You're Happy and You Know It, and Twinkle Twinkle

My boys!
Two peas in a pod.
Of course all of the kids have to help blow out the candles!




Caden has 2 favorite books. "Duck: Book of Opposites" and "Who Says Woof?" He is reading the book to Hailey. His favorite page is the about the cow.


Caden loves Hailey so much. As soon as he gets out of bed he asks, "Where'd Hailey go?" Then he runs to find her and gives her hugs and kisses.

Caden is in love with footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, bouncy balls...and he likes to say the list, too. He takes them to bed, talks about them as soon as he wakes up, and even insists on eating with them even if they don't fit on his tray.
