Lots of stuff going on since the last post

Uncle Todd, Aunt Carly, and cousins Brody and Wade stopped by last weekend for a visit...and Caden just was looking at them like they were crazy when they were crying...he doesn't remember when he had that "newborn cry" too.

Then this past weekend, we went on our first official family vacation to one of our favorite spots - Grayton Beach. This was Caden's first time at a beach! We stayed in this great little condo that was just big enough for the three of us. We took Caden down to the beach...here he is with his feet in the sand...he wasn't sure what to make of it...

Then we took a ride on daddy's shoulders down to the water...and the water really scared him when it rushed up and touched his feet...

We had some cooler weather so we didn't spend a lot of time at the beach, but that did mean that we got to break out some of his sweaters, jackets, and jeans for the first time...and yes, he is coordinated with the furniture in the condo...and no, he's not eating the chips, but just playing with the bag.

Also, on Saturday night, Grammie and Pops came to pick Caden up and took him home with them so mommy and daddy could have an adult night out...this was the first time he has spent the night with Grammie and Pops alone...and this was only the second time he has been away from mommy at night...but we survived :). Here he is mesmorized by Grammie's saltwater fish tank...she said that he stared at it for about half an hour...

And here he is with his shades on before we took a walk down their dock...

Now, here are just some cute and funny pictures...First, with his crazy hair blowing in the wind - he loves the windows down in the car.

Here he is sitting on the couch like a big boy...we are still working on the sitting up thing, but hopefully we'll get there in a few weeks.

And some things he is doing lately...sucking on his bottom lip...

Sucking his thumb while he is sleeping...

Still eating his feet...

And he has picked up interest again in his pacifier (we are definitely teething)...he has one pacifier that he likes to put in his mouth, bite down on it, and then pull it out because it makes a popping noise...he thinks that it is hilarious...
