Where Does Time Go?

Today C is 20 months old. I can remember looking at the pregnancy test. Has it really been that long?
Here are his stats. He has not been to the doctor and got his weight checked since he was 18 months. On our scale he weights about 24lbs. He's in Pampers size 5. He runs everywhere he goes! He has 16 teeth. Two crystal blue eyes, two ears, a nose aka 'honk-honk', well you get the point. He's growing up so fast!! He's not my little baby anymore. Although, last night he let me hold him like a baby and 'bottle feed' him his milk. (he was not feeling well) So I savored those few minutes.
C has began talking quite a bit in the past month. While we were at the beach he picked up, thank you, please, and uh-oh. They sound a little more like-"ga oo", "meeze", and "oh-oh", but he knows when to use them.
He was so cute the other day, Mark handed him something and with out prompting he said, "ga-oo, Bak"...He made me so proud! Please is the harder one, and uh-oh, well we hear that all the time. He has learned how to unbuckle his car seat. He mimics what we do or say. The other day, he unbuckled his car seat and I said 'Ugh, C you can't do this!' He says...ugh! right back at me!
He can reach things off the counter now. He loves to play with keys.

Just because I'm a proud Mommy, I'm going to put all this words that he says now.

cookie-kicky
booby-booby--his Daddy taught his that one
Max-my cousin's little boy, Maaa
Mom said he said Grammy & Granddaddy, but I didn't hear it. =(

The next step is two or more word phrases. He's doing those sometimes, but not very often.

C's favorite things to do are sit on the tractor. Sit in the boat. Eat. Swing. Be outside. Swim-with his swimmies he will spin around, and lay on his back. And do 'motorboat' in the water! He loves chocolate, cookies and Popsicles. He like grapes, apples, cheese, gold fish-'ticky', pretzels, peanut butter sandwiches and pb crackers. Likes shoes-mainly flip flops. He has learned to click his tongue. He loves his family, he gets excited when we turn on the street to get to my parents house! Likes riding his bike and fire truck-inside. Drawing. Dancing. Loves being tickled. He knows fishing poles are for fishing-he says 'ticky'!!! He has learned to blow up his swimmies. He also likes to help with laundry, he will get the clothes in the basket and bring them to the laundry room. He's a little monkey and loves to climb, he will be on the kitchen table in .3 seconds.
<---Rice crispies-the box!


He does not like sitting still. Taking naps or being told 'NO'. He also has a temper, and is very hard headed. He will RUN away from you if he has something on his mind and you don't want him to do it or have what he has. He knows when I sing certain songs, that that means he has to go to sleep, they are his 'sleep songs'.

C has been such a great joy to all of us! He's so smart and really is a wonderful blessing to our family. Lindsey will call and ask when I'm coming to her house, because she wants to see C.
It's hard to believe he's almost two years old. Seems like this year has gone by faster than last year.

Home Study. Step 1

We had our first step of our home study at the end of May.  Home study, like I have said before is 'home study' is an adoption term. I am learning them as I go. Some I still don't get. Home study, I only know step 1. I will learn as we go. Part 2 is our individual meeting.  We went and met with our, I guess she's called a case worker, on Thursday afternoon before we headed to the beach for Memorial Day weekend.  We met at a local restaurant, on the patio. It was so relaxed. I was a little nervous. Telling someone you had never met your dreams and about your 'history'. She stated that by the end she will know way more about us than we want her to know. We just talked a little bit about what we had in mind, and she went through a page and a half of 'to-do's'.  We have to get lots of documents, certificates, questionnaires, letters, physicals, fingerprints, verification's, photos of us and our home, etc.  We have no deadlines so that makes things...

Four Months Late... Who's Counting?

I love throwing Caden's birthday party! I love to let him pick a theme and then we run with it. He is very creative and helps me with a lot of the planning. Yes, He's was 4, but it's his party. No, I didn't take all his ideas. Maybe just one. But we had fun. This year we did a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle party! YES TMNT ! Just where did he learn about them? He found a stash of his Daddy's old VHS movies. We have a DVD/VHS combo so we get to watch a lot of the classics. He had only watched a few, but he fell in love with them. So about the time we were planning his party he was watching the movies about two times a day. Interesting enough they were coming back! Yes, Like in the stores. Way better, too! Invites I found a cute photo online and printed them in a 4x4 square. I used 'Paint' to make the pizza. Took them to Office Depot and they printed them. I made a 'pizza box' out of card stock. Don't ask me how I did it, I just folded an...

What can I say?

Caden amazes me everyday. I don't like to say it but he's so stinkn' smart. I don't like to hear parents say, "Listen to what, ______, did, he's/she's so smart." But....Listen to what Caden can do and has been for several months now! I can ask him where his ears, hair, eyes, nose, teeth, tongue, belly, hands, fingers, feet, belly button, and toes are and he can tell me. I think it's just the cutest thing ever! So.....as much as I try to hide it, I think he's the smartest kid his age. And after spell checking this, I know where he did not get his smarts! Ha ha!
