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 (92
nd 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!
We found out yesterday the best news ever. Well, the best news ever for Quinn. Samson the monster truck is from Circleville! And, not only is he from Circleville but they were having an open house at the shop. So, we surprised Quinn and took him there yesterday. He was pretty excited to see the big monster truck up close and was also very excited that he was just sitting there and would not be turned on. When turned on they are very loud and therefore very scary to Quinn. They have a little shop where they sell t-shirts and Samson monster trucks. Quinn was lucky enough to get a Samson monster truck. The bad news is that Samson was not well built and Quinn had 3 of the 4 tires broken off within a few hours. Since we bought something we also got a free program and an 8x10 picture of Samson. Needless to say it was a very fun surprise for Quinn! Caden on the other hand was not as impressed! We'll see as he gets older if he loves monster trucks as much as his big brother.
