7.5 months

Hey everybody,
so its been a few weeks and it seems like a lot has happened.
-Cade got his second tooth
-He realized what his teeth do and has found a new love for crunchy finger foods cuz they make sounds on his teeth
-he walks while holding on to our fingers everywhere
-he can make loops around our house in the walker (so there are gates up)
-he now sleeps on his stomach and worms around in his crib all night
-still doesn't feel like crawling but insists he knows how to walk
-he throws temper tantrums (early i know)
-he loves to laugh and is super ticklish
-he says mama, hi and uh oh
-he babbles non stop
-loves to grunt and scream to hear his voice
-no object is safe if its within reach
-still eats like a champ
-he road on his first little bike, we put him in the seat and he immediately sat forward and leaned over the handle bars and just hangs on while you push him.
- he still charms everyone
-he has hair to die for and a smile that is amazing
-he still loves his bath
-i still have to get the knots out of his hair daily
-he loves to play
-he loves harry the chihuahua and was not phased when harry bit at him
- he loves to stand
-he thinks he can do thinks he can't and just tries anyway so he will be sitting and then just lunges towards something and wipes out or lunges out of your arms or off your lap so he keeps you on your toes!
Cade is amazing. He teaches us so much about the father's love for us and about patience, and selflessness. He truly brings so much life to people it is amazing to see the Lord's hand on his little life already. We love our little man so much! And hope you enjoy our recent pics!

A few more pics

So Cade is 7 months man time flies by. We can't believe are little man is closer to a year than a newborn. It is crazy!!! Cade got his first tooth in minnesota and i think the next is coming hopefully tonight because he has been miserable and chewing on everything in sight. The poor guy is normally happy and was so fussy today and last night. He just started licking the cherios on his tray instead of just playing with them. He also wouldn't grab our hands or grab onto things when he was standing but just started doing that a couple days ago and now walks like crazy while just holding onto your fingers. He is on the move! He is such an awesome little man and we love each day with him. Here are a few more pics from the past weeks. Love to all!

Cade is such an amazing passionate kid. When he is happy he is happy and when he isn't he really isnt. overall he is super smiley and so fun! He loves to play right now and it is so cool to see the life he brings to so many people and the smiles he brings to random strangers faces. We love our little man and treasure each day with him. We can't believe he will be 7 months in two days!

We love you all and hope you enjoy our update. I will post pics and video soon!
