Family Weekend

This past weekend, we headed over to Destin by way of Panama City for cousins Brody and Wade's first birthday party! Here are the birthday boys in their new rocking chairs...

Discovering their presents in the foyer...
We put Caden in the bounce house in the backyard...He wasn't too thrilled at first and I was afraid that I was going to have to figure out how to crawl in there to get him out...

But then Cambell got in and he thought she was hilarious jumping up and down...Note his preppy pirate shirt for Brody and Wade's pirate party...I know most of you are shaking your head thinking well of course Allison would be the one to find a preppy pirate shirt if they existed...

Here's Brody and Wade with their cake. Wade tried to throw it down and Brody started crying since everyone was staring at them...I'm sure Aunt Carly will enjoy telling them the story when they get older...

Cousins...Caden is trying to escape the wagon...
We're going through a phase right now...a snuggly cuddly, don't even think about leaving me when I want to snuggle phase...
We don't mind this phase very much, except when we try to put him down and the whiny part of the phase starts...Some other things we are doing now - walking very well now and sometimes getting up to a "run", show him how to do something once and he'll repeat it, lets us know when he doesn't like a food (believe it or not, he's not into goldfish!), screams in excitement, screams when's he mad...and boy, has he started to show us his temper when he gets frustrated! He also was quite proud of himself this past weekend at Grammy and Pops when he figured out how to open the door to their hall closet...they have lever knobs, which we do not thank goodness...

He must have opened and shut this door 100 times with the biggest smile on his face...

Tonight, Daddy was running on the treadmill and Caden wanted to get on there with him soooo badly. So, I took him in his room to play. When Daddy was done, we came out and he went straight over to the treadmill and climbed up there and started stomping his feet like he was running in place...AWWWWW, he's so smart!

One last thing...all of his one year pictures are up...go to www.longsphotography.com and click on proofs. The password is Harrell.
