Patty-Cake!

Today I witnessed Cadence clapping with my own two eyes! Looks like all the patty-cake paid off! We sing it occasionally, but my mom sings it to Cadence all the time! Danny, you better get back from Portland quick...she might be walking tomorrow! ;)

Cadence Waves Bye-Bye!

So lately it seems like Cadence learns how to do something new every day. On Tuesday, Grandma picked Cadence up from daycare, or school as we like to call it. Before I left my mom's house, I was holding Cadence & she kept holding her hand up. Eventually she started wiggling her fingers! She's a little slow at it, but I think she's associating the words "bye-bye" with waving. We're not sure where she picked it up; I'll have to ask her teachers. We wave to her sometimes when we leave, but have never really practiced with her! She's also started saying "na-na" - she started with "la-la", "da-da", "ma-ma" and "ba-ba" - she's making her way through the alphabet! My mom watched her yesterday and said she started rolling to her right! She started rolling from her back to her belly about a month ago, but would always turn to her left. Hopefully we'll get to see her do it again soon!

Cadence Loves Scarlet and Dances a Jig

There's not a whole lot going on in this video, but wanted to share nonetheless. Cadence LOVES watching Scarlet run around the house. If I'm feeding Cadence in her highchair and she hears Scarlet's toenails on the kitchen floor, she'll look for her until she finds her. She likes petting Scarlet and laughs when Scarlet licks her face. Scarlet usually ignores Cadence as shown in the video of Cadence watching Sesame Street (her FAVORITE show). There's an added bonus of the "Cadence Dance" - not much yet; just a little wiggle - we're working on it ;)

Outfit from the DiRoccos :)

Since we don't get to see them often, I thought I'd post this picture of Cadence in the cute outfit she got from Auntie Darlene for Christmas. It's 12 months in size, so I was surprised it fit! Auntie Donna, I still think we have a little bit before she fits into the outfit you got her! Love you guys!

8 Month Cutie!

Cadence is officially 8 months old! We can't believe how time has flown by! We look forward to all of the things she is going to be able to do soon. We're still working on getting her to roll to her right (she can roll to her left like it's her job!). She loves her banana and apple puffs and has even tried yogurt melts...they make her drool like crazy! Still don't see any signs of baby teeth. She's sitting up really well and will twist and turn to reach anything in her sight!

It got above freezing today so we finally took Cadence out in the snow! I attached her pacifier to her just in case she flipped out, but she was happy to be outside! You can kind of see a tear in the pictures, but it's from the wind!

We can even get her to stand up...don't get your hopes up, it's only for like, 1.5 seconds at a time!
