The Winner...in the Couch Olympics that is!

Caden has found a new sport he likes...the couch olympics! This is NOT a favorite sport of mommy's and I try to discourage it, but he is sneaky...He hoists his little leg up there and pulls his little body up on the couch, then stands up and starts jumping up and down. The jumping up and down looks more like he is head banging, then jumping though. Then he will get off by swinging his leg over the arm and backing down. He does that over and over. He gets so tickled and proud of himself. I hope to get it on video soon, but I did manage to get a few pictures...

If anyone knows our dog, Riley, they know that Riley's favorite place in the world is under our bed. Well, Caden loves Riley and has now figured out where Riley's hangout is and I found him the other day looking under the bed trying to see if Riley would come and play...
One day he'll learn that it takes a treat to get him out from under the bed...

We're still playing peek a boo all of the time. While mommy is trying to work at the dining room table...he hid behind the treadmill...

Then under daddy's hat...one of his favorite hiding places...

Daddy introduced us to another fun game! Horseback rides or really daddy-back rides...(bad thing is that now he tries to jump on everyone's backs when they are squatting...)

Still loves the plastic bags (and yes, we do monitor him closely when he has them - I think he just likes the crinkly sound they make)

It looks like Catherine Zeta-Jones is sitting right next to him...

Loves to sit on the fireplace like a big boy. Again, he gets rather proud of himself...

Grammy and Pops came over last weekend to babysit Caden while mommy and daddy went to the Miami-FSU game (spare the FSU harrassment comments). Thanks Grammy and Pops! We are so lucky that Scott's parents live 2 hours away and that they like hanging out with the Caden baby! Here's Pops reading to Caden. He just sat there and listened and for some reason kept turing to the page with the goats (it's a barn animal book)...

Pops is so great that he even put up Caden's swing for him finally! (I say finally because it has been sitting in the garage since his birthday...) He loves it! Loves it so much that he hates to get out.

And for those of you who are thinking that he looks big for his age...HE IS! Everyone asks me if he is two or three...when I have to tell them 16 months, they are shocked. Even had one guy ask to be his agent...we have a big, tall boy on her hands! That's it for now. As you can see, Caden is definitely keeping us on our toes and entertains us everyday.
