So Many Exciting Changes!

It's amazing how quickly Cade is growing and developing! Last week we had his 6 month appointment. He was 16.1 pounds, 26.5 inches. This puts him in the 75th percentile in height and between 25-50th percentile in weight. Just over this past week he has been sitting up by himself. Yesterday Brian and I noticed that he has started to clap his hands together- the patty cake is finally paying off. The other thing that I can't believe is how he is reaching for everything now with more coordination. Last night I was reading him a book, but kept getting interrupted with him grabbing at the pages. It was funny. I would like to think he was interested in the story, but I think he just wanted to eat the book. No teeth yet, but a ton of drool. He's going through several bibs a day.

Cade continues to love his food. The other night Grandpa Dave got to feed him for the first time and he's lucky he made it home with all of his fingers!!! Ha! It's been really fun lately to watch Cade get more into playing with toys. He's starting to love cuddling with his bear even though the bear is still a bit bigger than him. He has started reaching for things. Yesterday Brian and I were feeding him and put the spoon close to his mouth to see what would happen. After only about two seconds Cade grabbed it and jammed it into his mouth. It was hilarious. Today on our day off we took Cade to Dave and Busters (adult video arcade). It's pretty loud, but Cade didn't seem to mind. In fact he loved the lights and all the action! It was a great day.

"Ode to Peas!"

So far Cade hasn't met a veggie he hasn't loved! He's had squash, peas, sweet potatoes, and carrots and has loved each of them the same. He is the loudest eater I have ever heard. The entire time we feed him he makes really loud "mmmmmm" sounds. Now when Brian and I eat anything Cade launches at it as if to say "gimme some of that." I've been thinking lately about the stories my dad would tell me about my grandma's grocery bills as he was growing up. Cade's love of solids is giving me a glimpse into our future grocery bills- yowza!
