Caden update

Caden has been doing sooooo good. Not only has his adjustment and attachment/bonding been quick and easy but he's also doing new things lately. He is now saying mama, dada, and other babbles. He imitates us when we clap or say "yay" he will clap and when we blink both of our eyes he will too. He is walking really good. He can stand up while in the middle of the floor without holding onto anything. He is into EVERYTHING....opening drawers, opening cabinets, into the dog food and water and putting everything into his mouth (including dog food one day). He is so easy going, a cuddle bug (when tired) and an overall easy baby. We are so lucky!

At his 1 year check up he weighed 24.6 lbs (73rd percentile) and was 31.5 inches (92nd percentile). He is a big boy, especially compared to our little Quinn! At Quinn's 3 year check up in March he was 33.5 inches and he weighed 24 lbs at Caden's 1 year check up. So, it probably won't be too long before Caden passes him in height too. Caden had grown an inch since coming home to his 1 year check up!

Happy Easter

This is the best pic of the boys in their Easter outfits...I've given up on getting a good one of both of them together!

Mmmm, ring pop!

1st Birthday

Caden's 1st birthday was on 4/16. He had a good birthday and did a fabulous job with the smash cake. Quinn insisted on helping to eat the smash cake and eating it with his hands too. However, he was not as much of a mess as Caden. Caden had to go right into the tub once he was done.

Tunnel of fun!

Both boys love going through the tunnel and tent in the basement. It's a good place to hang out in rainy weather and it gets some of their energy out!

Mama

This week out of the blue Caden started babbling and his first word is MAMA! It sometimes sounds like wawa but sometimes it's definitely mama.

Friends

We had some friends over to play so I wanted to get a group photo. When being bribed with candy the toddlers all sat still AND smiled!

Caden laughing as Quinn is taking his picture

Quinn has always crossed his legs at his ankles (and still does) so I find it so funny that Caden does the same.

1st hair cut

Adam talked me into getting Caden's crazy hair cut. It looks good but he definitely looks older now!
