First Tooth

Caden's first tooth cut through about a week and a half ago.  Here's the best picture that I've gotten of it. 

Thanksgiving, etc.

The month of November seemed to fly by.  Caden turned 7 months this past week; he now weighs a little over 22lbs.  Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks.

Grandpa came to visit.

I've been horrible about taking pictures the past few weeks.  And I haven't been very good catching him in action, so this is the best picture I've gotten of him up on all fours.

Here he is lounging on the floor.

We went to Tyler for Thanksgiving.  Here's a picture of Caden with Papa, Nana, and Jeffrey.

He loves the remote and the computer keyboard.  In an attempt to keep him away from the real ones, we've given him his own keyboard and remote.  Like father, like son... :)

We're getting in the Christmas spirit.  This adorable "Always Jolly" bib was a gift from someone that works with Brian.

We put up all the Christmas decorations this weekend.  Here's a picture of the tree.  & my latest art project is on the mantle.  I made the letters for our name.



Swinging & Scooting

Caden pushed up on all fours for the first time about a week and a half ago.  He's getting more mobile everyday.  He likes to rotate around in circles and he tries to move, but he can only scoot backwards right now.  He usually keeps moving backwards until he runs into something.

Here's a picture of him backed into the recliner yesterday.

He started where his toys are and then scooted until he hit the chair.

Last weekend we took him to a park to swing for the first time.  He was a little unsure of what was going on.



A few more videos

Here's a video of him laughing from last weekend.

Last night after I read him a book, he was chewing on it.  He kept intentially dropping the book and just laughed while he was waiting for me to pick it up. 

Funny noises

We had Caden's 6 month pictures taken this week.  The pics will be ready for me in about 2 1/2 weeks; I can't wait to see how they turned out.  Here are a few pictures and a video from the past week or so.

Brian and Caden after dinner last Sunday night.

Caden playing with his music table last weekend.

My friend Becky was in town this weekend.  We had so much fun.  It's always great to spend time with old friends.  Here are a  few pictures from her visit.

Last night Caden started trying to copy the clicking noise that I was making with my tongue.  He was cracking us up.  Here's a video of him trying to make the noise.
