week 16, 17, 18

so we finally have internet! So i'm trying to get caught up. We have had an awesome and hard couple of weeks. Well, lets see if I can remember it all. Cade had his second set of shots, which he did great but was a bit miserable afterward. He also started eating rice cereal which he loved! He now has added sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, avacado, papaya and pears. He loves his food. He eats full jars of food at a sitting plus a full bottle, and still can only make it three hours in between feedings. He went on a 6 mile walk with me and my mom and nick. He did great! He got a cool bike helmet with flames on it and modeled it proudly. Cade now talks himself to sleep, it is pretty funny. He learned to take his pacifier out of his mouth and put it back in. Nick got sick, gave it to me and cade. We went to oregon for family time at the pacific crest triathlons. Nick was so sick he didn't get to participate but my dad, sister, mom and cousins did and it was cool. Cade did amazing! He rode in the car for 9 hours each way and only cried a couple times. It was awesome! His teething is still in full force and looks as if he could get 3 or 4 teeth at once. He loves standing and takes steps when you hold his hands. He loves his exersaucer and likes to be on his feet as much as possible. We recently found out that he is ticklish and laughs when you tickle him. He now grunts when he lays on his tummy and tries to crawl all the time. He still rolls over and can roll both ways. He now enjoys laying on his side and sometimes we find him contorted in his crib trying to see something at a wierd angle. Cades laugh is awesome and he brings such joy to everyone. He is such a life bringer and it is such a joy to experience life with him each day. We love seeing him wake up in the morning and smile. His cries are piercing, and he has definate opinions on things. We love our little man and so enjoy watching him grow each day. He is growing so fast. He rules!!! Here are some pics from the past three weeks!
