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)!
