All Boy!

Here are some new pictures of Cade riding his four wheeler in the yard. As much as he loves to be outside, you can imagine what a great time he had. Now we are just waiting for the weather to be a little more consistent so we can stay outside more often!

"Eat my dust!"

"Go, Go!"

Cade is becoming more and more independent everyday. He is really loving to feed himself, which tends to leave a mess. But lucky for me, Tucker is willing to "clean" the floor, and I use my trusty Dustbuster to get the crumbs out of the highchair. I am actually really glad that he is into feeding himself more often, because it gives him a chance to try some new foods. Whenever I give him a new food he approves of, he starts dancing in his highchair. It is so funny!

Some other notable milestones...Yesterday, we went to the pediatrician. She was very pleased with his development, and said he is very smart (okay, so maybe she says that to all the babies, but I am biased and choose to believe that it is just him:). He weighed 23.5 pounds which is in the 50th percentile for his age (all that crawling and cruising must be burning some serious calories, because he weight gain has really slowed down- he used to be in the 90th %). He was 31.5 inches tall (this was surprisingly in the 90th percentile- I guess he is going to be tall like his daddy:)
He is really starting to get full of himself, too, and thinks he is hilarious. He wants to talk so bad, and has several words that are understandable. He says duck, dog, Tuck (for our dog Tucker), mama, dada, balloon (boom boom) and bottle (doddle). His favorite word is truck (also pronounced tuck), and when you ask him how the truck goes, he says "vroom, vroom." I think he must have picked this up from Heath. It is so funny to me how enthralled he is with tucks, cars, tractors, etc. I have never really pushed this on him, I think it is just his male instinct:)
