Busy Summer...

Sorry for the lack of updates, but we have been out of town every weekend since and will be out of town again this weekend for cousin Brody and Wade's 1 year old birthday party! I've gotten so used to packing all 3 of us, that I can do it in about 15 minutes flat!
The weekend before last, Aunt Jen, Uncle Albert, Nana, and cousins Kaley and Andrew came up to pick Andrew up from baseball camp. So after his camp was over, we headed over to Destin! We got a great 3 bedroom condo - just big enough for all of us. Daddy was in Chicago visiting his friend (to give daddy credit, he planned his trip before we planned ours...), so Caden and I had the master suite to ourselves. Caden slept in the bathroom (I could have fit two more pack n plays in this bathroom)!
Here Caden is getting a bath...Kaley decided to jump in and "help"...

He loves when he can open and shut cabinets...it's almost better than peek-a-boo. Here's an action shot of him throwing his bouncey ball into the cabinet (love my camera...by the way, I've taken over a 1000 pictures in a little over 3 months).
The weather was terrible both days we were in Destin, but then turned beautiful the Monday we left. We did get one day in the pool...Uncle Albert took this picture with Mommy's camera. Aunt Jen took some pictures with her camera too, but we are still waiting on them.
And yes, Kaley and I are both standing up. The deepest part of the pool was 4 feet. Caden could walk around in most of it - which he was loving, except for the parts when he got off balance and went under...
Some friend of ours from Port St. Lucie live near Destin, so they came over to visit. Here is Kaley with Emma. Caden loved Emma's daddy, Lenny. He was in my arms and when Lenny first came up to him, he went to Lenny and put his head down on his shoulders and wouldn't come back to me! Everyone says they've never seen a baby that likes to snuggle as much as Caden does...I don't mind...

Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy went to the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce retreat in Amelia Island...so, we dropped Caden off on the way at Great Grandmother's house in Maclenney right outside of Jacksonville with Grammy, Pops, Aunt Carly, Uncle Todd, and cousins Brody and Wade. Caden LOVES to open and shut doors, so how great that he could shut the dog's crate on Brody!
Hanging out in Grandmother's driveway checking everything out...
All dressed in their new monogrammed scrubs from Grammy!

Poor Caden was not only in a new place, but also didn't have mommy and daddy that weekend, so he was glued to Grammy...He's going through another separation anxiety phase and especially when it comes to Daddy! He is such a Daddy's boy at the current moment.
Three little boys all ready and waiting for dinner!


Great Grandmother with 3 of her 4 great grandchildren! Caden is in Grandmother's rocking chair from when she was a little girl...doesn't he look like a 2 year old?!? At his 15 month old check up, he is still holding strong in the 97th percentile for height, but has dropped a little in weight and head circumference.

Now, here's a few cute pics. Another one of Caden's favorite things to do now is to walk around with plastic bags on his feet. I don't see the attraction, but it cracks him up...

He also loves to put his drum top over his face because it's clear and he can see through it. He's quick and I couldn't seem to catch it actually on his face, but this is how funny he thinks it is...

Funny face...
