Just a quick update

Last week Cadence got the stomach bug that had been going around the room at daycare. We thought she had dodged it, but she had several dirty diapers on Monday and she was not able to keep her dinner down. I stayed home with her on Tuesday (which worked out nicely because the weather was beautiful) and we just hung out and watched cartoons and read books. We took a nice long walk and I was able to get some work done while Cadence took a 3.5 hour nap! By Thursday morning she was back to her normal self.

She's also sleeping on a cot during nap time at daycare...it's just her and another toddler, Thatcher. Let's just say naptime has become a lot shorter during the week! Makes for some fun evenings!

Halloween

We had a lot of fun for Halloween this year. Since it was the end of the month, work was crazy for Danny. Dad was able to come over to help me out and get Peanut ready to Trick-or-Treat! At first, she was not having the cow costume. After I got her dressed, I plopped her on the couch for some pictures and my Dad snuck up behind her and pulled her hood up. Surprisingly, she kept it on and actually liked wearing the costume! Shortly after, Danny got home just in time to hit the street! She did really well saying, "moo", "trick-or-treat", and "thank you", but as soon as we would come up to a neighbor handing out candy, she got so scared and kept saying "no!" The neighbors thought she was adorable. She really was so cute and surprised us with how well she did. Oh, I could just eat her up!






She fell and bumped her head in the kitchen while I was making dinner. You can kind of see the goose egg!

Using a Spoon...Successfully

After learning that Cadence had been using a spoon at daycare and was actually getting the food into her mouth, we decided to let her have another try at home. We had been letting her hold a spoon with solid foods, but last night, we let her use a spoon with applesauce. She did great! Such a big girl.
