9 Months Old

Wow...9 months! I believe Caden is growing before our very eyes! He's becoming such a big boy. He is absolutely wonderful too :) Barely cries. Is just a happy baby. What more could we ask for? He went from learning how to crawl to crawling EVERYWHERE! He is also pulling up on EVERYTHING. Before long, I'm sure he'll be cruising along our couch. His bear used to look huge and now he's bigger than him.

At his 9 month appointment he weighed 20 lbs 2 oz and was 28 inches long. He is in the 50% for both height and weight.
He is really starting to "talk." He seems to look talking. I wonder where he got that from???He's got the ba ba ba's down. Daddy thinks he's going to soon be saying da da da.

We are working on eating more green veggies and he's doing better. He has always been a fan of the yellow/orange veggies.

He has such a sweet personality!

More Milestones :)

As I sit and type this update it is so hard for me to belive it, but my baby turned 9 months old today. He is such a joy in our lives. He constantly brings smiles to our faces. We are certainly blessed!

I have been meaning to post this update for over a week. On Tuesday, October 6th I went in to get Caden up from his nap and to my surprise he was standing up. He had pulled himself up in his crib for the very first time. I did not have my camera with him so I kept peeking in before I would go get him in hopes of finding him standing up again to get a picture of it. Finally, two days later, he did it for me and I got some adorable pictures of him. So these are from that Thursday.

Now when we go to get him out of his crib he is standing there waiting on us. It is so cute :) He is starting to do it in other places, but he isn't doing it as consistantly as he is in his crib.

Don't you love this smile?

Later that evening on Oct. 8th while Andy and I were sitting eating dinner Caden was playing on the floor. All of the sudden I looked over and I told Andy, "Look! I think he's crawling!" He had been doing the Army crawl, but on that Thursday he decided to get his belly off the ground and crawl for real!

I'm coming to get you!

There I go...

Off to explore the house!

Modeling for the camera

Guess he's used to his mama taking tons of pictures of him. He certainly doesn't mind!


He has his 9 month check up appointment Thursday morning. I'll post an update after his appointment, as well as his 9 month bear picture.

Hope you are enjoying fall (or winter as it feels like in VA)!

8 Months Old and Welcome to America!!!!!!!

Well, it has been a LONG time since I've updated the blog. So long that we were still in Korea for the last post. Our flight from Korea was fairly flawless. Just a minor incident with luggage. Caden did very well on the flight. The people around us commented that they never saw a baby do so well on such a long flight! We enjoyed about 2 weeks in PA hanging out with family and relaxing. We are now in Virginia and are fairly settled in. The day we moved in Caden got sick :( That was not fun. We were able to get him into the doctor and it was only a yucky chest cold. He is all better now.

Caden is already 8 month old!!!!!! At 8 months he weighed 19 lbs. 2 oz. at his sick dr. visit. He is enjoying a lot of new toys that we had waiting here for him.

Side by Side

Taking my picture isn't as easy anymore.

I was trying to army crawl to mom to get the camera.

I'm getting big!

Look at me sitting in my new high chair.

Don't I look like such a big boy?

On Thursday, Caden got his 3rd tooth. It was the tooth beside his middle left upper tooth. Then Saturday morning when we woke up his two upper middle teeth had broken through. That's 3 teeth in less than 48 hours!!!!! He's not done yet though. He still has one more that is about to break through! Poor baby isn't doing so well with all this teething.
