7 Months and Movin' On Up


 At 7 months Caden is now pulling up and standing with support.  He will take a few steps while holding on to objects.  He has mastered the crawl and can get anywhere within seconds.  He is discovering more and more of the house everyday, including the kitchen trash can and the kitties' water dish.

My best guess at his stats are:
19 lbs 12 oz
27 inches

He loves his solid foods and is starting in on the combined flavors.  We are just now starting to practice with a cup.

We had our first play-date with a little boy that we met at swim class.  He is 6 months older than Caden, but they were still able to interact.  It was a lot of fun.

His 2 new favorite tricks are to sit on the floor and roll the ball back and forth and blowing raspberries.  He is addicted to blowing raspberries and thinks that it is a language.  He uses them to get people's attention, even strangers in public (Nona taught him this during vacation - Thanks a lot Mom!)

We have a new nightly tradition of playing in the green bucket.  I fill it with water and let him splash around after dinner.  It helps get all the food off before we get into the bathtub!





We recently took a vacation to Lake Michigan, it really is beautiful!  The beaches and waves were just like the ocean, but we didn't have to deal with seaweed or salt water.  We were neck deep and could still see our toes, it was perfect! Caden loved it - of course - he is my little water baby.

Breakfast and a bath on the porch?!?  It must be vacation!!!
