12 months

Caden has his 1 year check up last week. 

Weight - 21.5 pounds (our little guy)

Height - 29-1/4 inches 

Here's a little update: 

• he is running (literally) and likes to walk backwards
• he can successfully get up onto the couch and get down on his own 
• he crawls all the way upstairs and can successfully come down backwards on his belly (we call it "sit and flip")
• he loves fruit and is starting to like real food
• when he hears music, dancing is a must
• he has 6 teeth
• he makes the funniest fake sad face, it cracks us up
• he says; ba ba, da da, daddy, this, daw(dog), ball, uh oh, and occasionally mom will slip out
• he can identify his toys and objects 
• he absolutely loves sticks, every time we go outside he searches for one
• he loves to play with balloons, blocks, sports balls, and instruments
• he can mimic people, it is so funny
• his favorite thing is to be chased 

We feel so blessed to have a healthy and happy little boy.

I know it might sound cheesy or cliche but, he really is pure joy in our lives.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to be his parents.

Love you forever Caden.
