9 Months Old!

Caden is 9 months old today! He is so much fun, and we just love him to pieces! This month Caden started saying dada. I don't think that he knows what it means yet, but it's still cute to hear him say it. He has started eating more table foods, and I am still making baby food for him too. His favorite food is avocado, and he also loves chicken or hamburger. When he's on his stomach, he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. Maybe he will be crawling soon, but he seems content just to cry when he can't reach what he wants. Caden loves to stand up, and he can pull himself up if he has something just the right height to hang on to. He gets really mad if you take something away from him. He holds on as tight as he can, and when you finally get it away from him he screams really loud. Caden loves the Johnny Jump Up, and he jumps high enough to get a little bit of air. I think that he practicing so that he can jump really high when he plays basketball in a few years. This month we switched him to a convertable car seat, so he is no longer in the infant carrier. Also he went on his first plane ride this month. He is still a good sleeper, and he likes to get up around 7 no matter what time that he goes to bed. We think that he is just the cutest baby ever!

Just Swinging Around

Today we went to the park and Caden went on the swings for the first time. He loved the swinging but wasn't too sure of the sun, so he kept his eyes closed when the sun was in his face. It was so funny.

Matching Hair Styles

Doesn't Matt look cute with his hair like this too!!?

Hmmmm . . .

Which toy do I want to play with?

Maybe if I stand up I can reach them better.

This looks like a fun one!

Exercise

Here is Caden doing his cardio. He likes to do it at least twice a day to keep in shape. They should make these things for grown ups too!

Fun at the Park


Yesterday we had a bbq at the park with Janielle and Matthias, and some of Matthias' family. We had fun playing volleyball, and soon Caden will be running around on the play ground too!

Who Is That Cute Boy in the Mirror?

Silly Face

Caden scrunches up his nose and makes this silly face every time that he sees my dad. It is so funny!

Loving the Weather!

Today we went to visit Grandma Shobe (my Grandma Shobe which makes her Caden's Great Grandma Shobe). We loved sitting on her patio enjoying the awesome weather and the beautiful flowers in her yard!





Even Carrot was enjoying the sun when we got home!

California!

On Friday we went to California for a fun day trip and to do a little bit of shopping at the Ontario Mills mall. This was Caden's first flight, and he was so good!


Matt and Caden posing in front of the airplane at the airport in orange county.

This is what Caden did for pretty much the whole flight there.

This is what I got at the mall! (Matt got me a giftcard for Valentine's day, and I wanted to spend it at the outlet! It's all about getting a good deal right?)
