August 2006

This has been a month of many changes:

As of 8/3 Luke has been in underwear and is doing g-r-e-a-t.

I took Cade's pacifier away on 8/4. I had heard that you could cut a hole in the end and each day cut a little more in order to gradually wean them. It didn't work with Cade. He tried to suck it, but ended up just chewing on it. It made him mad. I went to Wal-Mart on bought a new package of pacifiers in case I couldn't make it through the night with crying, mad Cade. However, he did pretty well and so I took the pacifiers back!!

Sunday, August 6th, Luke came out of Sunday School class with a sticker. I thought maybe he did something to earn it and so I asked him what the teacher said when she gave it to him. He replied, "Do you want this one or that one?"

On 8/7 Cade started walking. He took over twenty steps and then climbed up on the hearth. Now you rarely catch him crawling.

On 8/9 Cade started saying "uh-oh" and we have thought we've heard a few other words. My grandma and sister think he said "cracker." Today, Cory and I heard a good-bye. He says something like hello or hi. He also seems to like to jabber "tickle, tickle, tickle."

8/13 Cade turned one! We had a party for him on the twelfth and it was a lot of fun. We often call Cade "Cader" and so the party theme was "Cader the Gator". We decorated with alligators.

Cade's last day nursing was 8/16. Again, he got a little mad, but did fine overall. We also phased out baby food this month. Cade has a very healthy appetite and eats everything we do. I give him small bites, but he eats as much as his brothers and I think at times he eats more than me.

8/17 Cade learned to click his tongue.

On 8/18 Luke got glasses! He is farsighted. I am very sad that he has to wear glasses, but he does look cute in them.
