Cadence LOVES Her Puppy!

Happy Baby

Mom captured a great picture last week while she was watching Cadence. She's such a happy baby! Her first tooth is finally coming in and she's trying to talk more! She says "hi" and tries to say "puppy" - it ends up sounding like "uppy" or "baby." Daycare said they're trying to teach her to say "mommy" - I would love that! She still doesn't want to crawl. She'll scrunch her knees up while she's on her belly, but doesn't really go anywhere. We can't wait for her to crawl! Even though that means baby proofing EVERYTHING. We have her 9 month well check-up next week. I'm guessing a 17 pound peanut! She's so tiny! She's expanding her palate - we stopped by McDonald's before we went grocery shopping this weekend. We let her try some orange juice, some biscuit and she loved the oatmeal! I even let her try some hummus when I got home from work! Hopefully she gets more teeth soon - she loves to eat, but can't really eat anything yet!

Peak-a-boo!

We started putting blankets and burp cloths over Cadence's head to play peak-a-boo -- recently, she started playing by herself! She gets a kick out of it...and so do we!

More, Please!

Between daycare and home, Cadence has learned how to say, "more" in sign language! It's similar to clapping, but we can tell the difference! One night, I was washing some dishes and Danny was making salads for dinner and he looked over and she was signing! It was really cute. We've been working on "food" and "milk" too!

"Hi!"

At 8 1/2 months Cadence has said her first word - "hi." It's really cute because she even knows when to say it. She can also wave and say it at the same time. We can't wait to see what else she has to say!

We've been enjoying this Winter thaw and hoping not much more snow is on its way before Spring. Every weekend we've been able to cross something off of our to-do list. We purchased new carpet at Lowes and Danny picked up the tile for the foyer. Last night we picked out a new couch too! Our little house is in need of some updating!

Here's a few recent pictures...

Cadence loves playing in the bath!

In her outfit from Mamaw and Papaw!

I think she would eat the Puffs container if she could...she's addicted to those things!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Danny and I will be celebrating Valentine's Day next weekend and going out to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner - we still celebrated with Cadence today though! She, of course, wore her Valentine's shirt to school and one of her teachers brought in an adorable hat for her! Her teachers helped Cadence make a Valentine's card for us...it was too cute! I got some really awesome pictures of Little Miss Sunshine below! XOXO
