It's the most wonderful time of the year!
We can't believe Christmas is right around the corner! Time flies when you're having fun...and working your butt off! We have been busy all around (especially Danny). Danny has had a lot of projects going on at work, all during the typical month-end chores. We've somehow managed to get most of our Christmas shopping done. We're really excited for Christmas this year; it should be a lot of fun with our little Peanut! I'm psyched to see her reaction to the gifts from Santa.
Cadence had her 18 month well check-up today and we learned that she is 32.25 inches tall and 22 lbs, 2 oz. The doctor said she'd rather have a tall, skinny baby anyday! Cadence did SO well at the appointment. She just sat quietly and looked at a little book while the doctor poked and prodded. The only thing she didn't want done was have her mouth/teeth checked. She would not let the doctor pry her mouth open! The doctor had her sit on my mom's lap while she held her arms down; she ended up gagging! She loved her Tweety Bird sticker she got and had a lot of fun with the train set in the waiting room. It was weird to see her walking down the hallway; the last time we were there, she couldn't even walk on her own! It's also so strange to think that this time last year we just had her ears pierced and she was finally able to sit up on her own.
We're a little bummed because Cadence moves into the 18-24 month room at daycare next week. We really like the teachers she has now (and so does she) so it will be an adjustment. We were told that they think she is ready; she is the leader of the class! This weekend she started singing the B-I-B-L-E song (she sings it like B-I-B-I-B that book me...). I had to look it up on YouTube so I could sing along! She also learned about outer space last week so she can say, 'star' and has to look for the moon anytime we go outside. We're trying to get her used to Santa and she'll now say "ho, ho, ho" and enjoys hanging her ornament on her Advent Calendar from Nanny. We'll have to see how she does with Santa this year!
Oh, and I almost forgot...we took Cadence's Gerber pacifiers away. We were starting to think that they were affecting her teeth. So she now has some pacifiers that are more orthodontically accepted and she doesn't like them as much. Hopefully she'll ween herself off of them all by herself! She's actually been doing surprisingly well!
Thanks, Bettie and George for the Hallmark gifts each year! Cadence is OBSESSED!
Love it.

So cute!
Helping Mommy & Daddy decorate the tree. She kind of just plopped the ornaments wherever! She's been a really good girl and hasn't messed with the tree!

Thinks she's drinking Daddy's empty cup of McCafe coffee ;)
Goofing around
She fell asleep while watching the Thanksgiving Day parade. I thought I could wake her up so she could eat lunch and take a nap. Mission = failed.

A common part of our laundry routine. If she wants to get pushed around, she says, "weeeee!"

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