A Few of My Favorite Things...About My Bug

I know I just recently updated, but Cade changes so much everyday and I find him to be so amazing that I feel the need to write again. These are a few of my favorite things he does or who he is these days.

-LOVES garbage trucks, Loves them.

-Walks backward saying "beep, beep, beep"....like a garbage truck

-Loves goldfish crackers and calls them "shippies".

-Is getting really great at feeding himself with utensils

-LOVES to play in the car and can turn the keys to the "on" place so that the radio and wipers work

-Loves and gets so excited when Gramma comes to play

-Repeats EVERYTHING we say. My favorites include "Come on", "Okay!" and "Touchdown!"

-Yells "Down!" (touchdown) anytime he sees any sport on TV...while raising his hands in the air

-Asks "Are?" When he is looking for something and holds his hands up in question

-Loves to be outside and walks all the way up to "touchy gabadee" (touch the garbage truck). This being a white truck that parks up the hill from us and he is fascinated by and loves to touch.

-I love that when I try to record him being cute, he always wants to come behind the camera to see what is being taped, so I never get him on video.

-Love that he says "chee mama" when he sees that I am recording or taking a picture of him

-Has formed very special and fun relationships with the family I work for. He loves the kids and dogs and looks forward to picking them up each day. They love him back and have such a great time. They have their own routines such as Hayden sharing his goldfish with Cade, one at a time on the ride from school. So sweet.

-Says "nutcracker". What?!

-Is still nursing and calls it "ninganuh". Cutest thing ever.

-When he wants to nurse he says "ninganuh?" and answers his own question...."okay!"

-He talks and talks and talks. All day.

-Loves to help and says "help mama" in the sweetest way.

-Rides in the car all the time and never complains. He loves to hold his stuffed animals and always wants "cova?" (to be covered) even when it is 100 degrees out.

-Says hi to everyone he comes across and smiles at everyone. He radiates happiness and brings so much joy to those around him.

-Says "pretty nail?" when he notices my painted nails. No idea where he got that one.

-Loves animals. Has no fear of them at all. He loves to play chase with the Luedde's dog Boo and feeds him treats. When we are at my mom's, he always goes to the garage and the cats come running because they know it means he will feed them more than they are supposed to have.

-Loves to make coffee with Grammpa. He knows the process which includes smelling the coffee before they grind it.

-I love that he is cautious but not afraid of anything in life.

-Loves to be naked and take baths. Always wants bubbles and puts them on his face like papa does with shaving cream.

-When we take off his diaper, he squeals with delight because of his "weeny" which we refer to as penis so I have no idea why he calls it that. He then makes himself pee, yes on purpose and laughs out loud. So weird and yet so funny.

-Already wants to go pee on the potty and tells me "butt owie" when he has poop in his diaper. Yay for potty training this summer!

-Says "peeee mama" when he asks for things.

-Says "sank you mama" after I give it to him.

-Loves to get the mail and knows where the keys are, holds them and walks there and knows which box is ours.

- Says "up high!" whenever anything is higher than him or he stands on something.

-Remembers the puddle that was outside our door after it rained months ago and looks for it every time we go outside.

-Loves to dance and even goes down on his knees like he is sliding across the floor. Twirling is a favorite as well.

-Loves to use pens, pencils, keyboards and the mouse or anything else he sees us use and is not supposed to have.

-Still eats crayons when we try to color.

-Loves shoes and wears mine or Chris' shoes when he finds them and even has a pair of clear cinderella shoes that he wears around the house. They make a clip-clop sound and he loves it.

-Hides things around the house and I find them randomly, such as his cars in my underwear drawer. Makes me smile.

-I love when he wraps his arm around my neck in the middle of the night.

-I love that he says "Hi dada!" as soon as he sees Chris in the morning.

-He asks "mama bye-bye?" if I put on a jacket, "mama run?" if I put on my running shoes and "dada bye-bye?" when Chris gets his keys in the morning. So freakin' smart.

I love this Kid more than I could ever say. More to be added soon.....
