Happy February!

Hi everyone! I finally have some cute pictures to share with you all. We've been kind of low-key lately and not doing anything too exciting. Cadence is keeping us entertained as usual. She's beginning to speak in 3-4 word sentences and will repeat just about anything we say to her. It's amazing how we'll tell her how to say something once or twice and then she'll repeat it by herself all day!

Sometimes it's hard to figure out how she will react to certain situations. I like to sing the Katy Perry song, Hot 'N Cold, to her because that's how she is! It can be a battle sometimes when it comes to dinner; she'll either want to play or watch TV instead of come into the kitchen. Sometimes she'll eat pizza and sometimes she won't! She's been in a great mood the past couple of days. A stark contrast to how she was this time last week. She got another bad cold from daycare and started to feel sick last Wednesday. She was soooooo cranky!

Danny's sister, Annie, and her family visited us last weekend. We took a trip to COSI and had a lot of fun! There was a lot to keep the kids entertained and we even learned a lot too! Cadence loves spending time with her cousins; I felt badly that she didn't really feel like herself and didn't have as much fun as I know she normally would.

Valentine's Day was sweet this year. Cadence got some really cute gifts from her grandparents; my mom even had my grandfather's ring melted down to make a heart pendant necklace for Cadence. It is really special to us and I know it will mean a lot to her when she gets older. Danny and I gave her a few small gifts. It was great to see her face when she saw the gift bag. She gets really excited and makes a surprised face. It's really priceless.



This is her before bath routine. She LOVES to run around the house in her diaper! If she had it her way, she would be completely nude!
One day she HAD to keep her winter hat on to eat lunch. I could just eat her up!



Stinker!





Ready for COSI!




They were on TV!

Happy Holidays!

I've really put off updating the blog for a few weeks. Christmas has come and gone, and even though we were busy celebrating, we've been having a lot of fun!


We went to Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium with "Mima" and Poppa on one of the coldest nights we've had so far. It was packed, but we got to see a lot of the zoo!



Poppa showing Cadence some kind of creepy lizard.


Since the line to see Santa was freakishly long at the zoo, we stopped by the mall at Polaris. Surprisingly there wasn't a single person in line. Of course Cadence wanted NOTHING to do with Santa! Here she is sitting on Rudolph while we hoped she would warm up to him. Oh well, maybe next year!


The stinker even got a candycane!




And a wicked huge Mickey!


Beating up Mickey





She is OBSESSED with her Elmo jammies from Auntie Dianne; sometimes she hates to take them off to go to daycare! Cadence sends a big "thank you" to the Robertsons!



Cadence has apparently seen us raise our eyebrows at her a time or two.


Oh Christmas Tree...


At the hotel in Hamilton, Danny unplugged the phone so Cadence could carry it around while I was in the shower! What a nut!


She's already a girly-girl...playing with the makeup from her purse from Mamaw & Papaw.


Cadence, Grandpa, & the horse, Max!


Present time!


She LOVES making music!


So cute. Her cousins really love her. And Cadence loves them!









Santa came!


Look at her excited little face! She was so surprised to see all of the toys. It really was a lot of fun this year.









Cadence doesn't really understand what Santa is all about yet. We showed her the cookies he ate and she wanted the leftover cookies and carrots!



Of course we let her eat them!





Daddy caught Mommy & Cadence passed out after all the fun!


I think of all the gifts from Mima and Poppa, she liked the tiny Mickey ornament the most.






In toddler heaven!



We think Cadence has PLENTY of stuffed animals now! Oh wait, Danny forgot a few in her toy bins! You can add at least 8 to the ones you see pictured here.

Such a big girl!
