Cade-o is 1!!!!

What?! I can't believe it!!! Cade is 1!! Cade's birthday is today. I LOVE this age... he's learning so much every day. We love him so so much. He is completely full of life and energy. He knows what he likes, and knows what he doesn't! He has this laugh that is more like a throat-clearing noise, and whenever he gets excited, he starts panting like he just got done running sprints. He really is something else. We love every little bit of him.

His 1 yr appt is on Monday, so I'll let you know his height/weight then. He has grown so much though just over the past few weeks. Here's what he has been up to:
~ Says mama, daddy ("gaggy"), hey, and blankie "ankhee"
~ Still doesn't crawl. I know that he CAN, he just doesn't want to I guess. He has definitely got the combat crawl down though. He has started pulling up onto everything, and is getting pretty good at "cruising" around furniture and toys.
~ Eats everything. Favorites include the little Gerber cheetoe things, yogurt bites, and whatever is on my plate.
~ Is sleeping through the night like a champ! He started sleeping through the night at about 9-10 months(Those of you that get to experience this when your baby is 6 weeks, I don't want to hear about it).
~ Loves watching dad work on things.
~ Loves his polka dot blanket. He can't sleep without it. Whenever he sees it, he buries his face in it and starts laughing.
~ Loves music. Toys that play music are his favorite.
~ He's pretty much completely bald still. He has a little bit of red hair in the back.
~ Has 8 teeth, and loves to bite mom with them.
~ His 12 month clothes are just starting to get too small for him.
~ Favorite activities are by far riding in his wagon, jumping in his Johnny Jumper (he falls asleep doing this every night and naptime), and swinging in the park swing.
~ Whenever I read the line "I love you all the way to the moon, and back" from his favorite book "Guess How Much I love You", he starts laughing.

Cade, you are the light of our lives! We are so happy that you are a part of our family. We love you more than words can say. Happy birthday little guy.
