10 months!

Aghh its amazing how fast time is going by. I can't believe that last Christmas I was still pregnant and waiting 2 more months to see our little man. We have been busy and so has Cade. I'll warn you ahead of time, my lupus is flared and i've been on prednisone and so my mind is going a million miles a minute and so i hope this makes sense.
- Cade:
-will be 10 months on Saturday. It is crazy. He has grown like crazy. He is starting to lean out a bit and when i say a bit i mean a tiny bit :) but he has grown a ton lately.
- at his 9 month check up he was 23 pounds and 30 inches and his head was almost 19 inches
- he got his first ear infection in hawaii
- he crawls like a maniac and pulls up on the few things we have to pull up on
- we lowered his crib because he thinks its fun to stand and hang his head over the rail
- he loves to eat and like his mommy loves anything with cheese in it
- we had our first trip to minor injury today because we took him down the slide and his foot got stuck and bent backwards so he has a sprained foot.
- as sad as it is it is super cute to see him hold his little foot up
- he still loves the water and his bath. he thinks it is really fun to see how much water he can get out of the tub and all over nick.
- Cade can now catch harry the dog and thinks it is so fun to grab his feet. Harry does not appreciate Cade's newer mobility.
- he still doesn't sleep through the night no matter what i try but he has started taking 2 naps a day in his crib!!! For at least an hour or 2. I never knew how much i can get done or how nice it is to get a nap myself. :)
- he says mama, dada, baba, hi, bu and zzz so i think he's close to saying buds :) and then he babbles a whole lot of randomness in between
- he is all boy! he screams, bangs and makes all kinds of noises. He loves balls, hammers, tractors and trucks.
Cade is amazing. We love him and he is such a delight. it is so cool to watch him develops each day.

As far as us, we just found out today that nick got a job in Santa Cruz at Faith Community Church as basically the developer of youth ministry. We have been in conversation with this church for quite a few months now and today we got the final confirmation. We are really excited and i can't wait to share our whole process and journey with you all!

Well, we hope you are all doing well! Love you all and Merry Christmas!
