Happy Birthday Cadence!

DSC04892 Our son turned One today! We had a small party of friends and family (only those who visited when he was first born), opened presents, made a yummy cake, ate free cold stone ice cream, looked a pictures from his first year, ate his favorite meals for the day… We did everything we could think of to celebrate! We are so happy he’s healthy and a part of our family!

 On the bed All about our Cadence:

He loves to eat anything we are eating (so it’s easy to get him to try new foods). He loves going “bye-bye”. He can sign (though lately he chooses not to and just says “yeah”) finished, bye, more, milk, and understands cracker, cheese, bath, mom, & dad. His current vocal vocabulary – dad (or “addy”) & yeah. He loves to play the piano, drum, sing, and pretty much just make noise. He’s a big helper. He has started to pick up his toys, help with the dishes, and help unfold the laundry!

  He has recently become interested in lights. He always points at them and wants to turn them on and off.DSC04900He is almost always happy, even when he’s sick. In fact, he doesn’t understand why he can’t play outside when he’s sick (he gets that from his dad I guess). He loves building forts, playing peek-a-boo, jumping on the bed, and chasing us around the house “I’m gonna get you”. He especially loves to be startled when we are playing chase (we jump out from behind something).  He “reads” books to himself (his favorites are “Goodnight Moon” and “From Head to Toe”) and loves the movies “Signing Time” and “Finding Nemo” (both of which he could watch for hours if I’d let him). He has also recently become interested in drawing.  He loves playing the wii, especially with his dad. DSC04099

   He has his first freckle! We discovered in at his Dr. appt on his upper right chest. He’s walking now and has 2 teeth on the bottom. He is 20.4 lbs, 30 inches, and we love him to death! His official one-year-old pictures will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
