8 Months

Cade turned 8 months old yesterday. I can't believe how fast he's growing. We went to the Dr. yesterday, and he is 17 lbs., 7 oz! He is sitting up really well now, is doing a lot better at eating and sleeping (thank goodness), and every day he grows more and more curious about the world around him. He wants to hold/eat everything he sees. He is so full of life. He always has a smile on his face and gets so excited about everything. His favorite things to do are to look at himself in the mirror (he laughs and laughs, and then tries to eat his face in the mirror, it's so cute), and to play with dad's XBox controllers. If he sees a cell phone or laptop, he dives for them, literally. I love him so much. He is such a sweetheart.


I had to put this picture up... Cade always sleeps just like this... with a pacifier, his little teddy bear, holding his blanket with his right hand, and his head jammed up against the crib railing on the upper left corner of his bed. He will not sleep any other way. If I put him to bed on the opposite end of the crib, he manages to scoot over to his favorite spot. He definitely knows what he likes!
