Cade = 9 months

Cade, you are so busy all the time(it was torture to get you to sit still long enough for a picture).  You still wake up a couple times at night to nurse, I am sure it is a habit I just need to break.  You eat three meals of baby food a day but love any kind of finger food you can get.  You still nurse throughout the day.  You pull up on everything and walk along.  You have climbed up on Kaley's two-step step stool and stood right up to the counter. I love it when you crawl to me, get up on your knees and lift your hands for me to pick you up.  You wave hi and bye and will say it too.  You also say "mama" and dad"  You have 3 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth.  You think your sister is hilarious.  You usually smile at everyone but occasionally will give the shy head.   You love to pull all the toys out of the baskets.  My favorite is when you throw them backwards over your shoulder. We love you so much.

Cade = 8 months

Cade, you are 8 months old and so busy.  You are still crawling and starting to pull up on things.  You cry when we leave the room and then follow us.  You love to eat puffs because you can do it by yourself.  I think you are trying to make the sign for "more" but it still looks like clapping.  You enjoy eating your baby food and still nurse about 5 times a day.  I am not sure why you get up during the night to nurse, but I am ready for that phase to end.  You still think your sister is the greatest although she gets very frustrated with you.  She liked it better when she could pick what toys you got to play with.  You take a long nap and a short nap but you hate to miss out on anything that might be going on (and there is a lot going on lately.) You put everything in your mouth and you can find things that I have never seen before. You can say "Dada" along with all the other noises.  You have two teeth on the bottom but do not like to let anyone see them. You love to play in the cabinet with the plastic containers.  You pull them all out and just push them around the kitchen floor.  That is the only cabinet you can get into but you try the others every day just to make sure.   We have been going back and forth to Houston and you do so good in the car.  You sleep and talk to Kaley or just play with your toys.  We are so blessed to have you in our lives,  we love you so much.

Beach pictures

We have been trying to take advantage of the beach before we move. So here are pictures from multiple trips to the beach. Kaley loves it. She wants to go in the water but wants you to hold her. Cade enjoyed himself but dont think he cared rather he was at the beach or somewhere else.

Hanging out with Daddy

This was a cold day. We didnt stay long. It was warm in our backyard but when you get down by the water. BRRRRR
