Cain's 1st Birthday!

Cain is now 13 months old. He had his FIRST birthday last month on July 12. We celebrated at home because the weather was stormy outside and we couldn't drive him anywhere fun. He enjoyed the birthday song but was scared of the cake :)

Lots of changes have happened since the last post at 8 months old.

1. He learned to walk at 8 1/2 months!! Ever since then his personality has really revealed itself. He is sweet, nurturing, curious, silly and stubborn.
2. He has also started having tantrums. They are pretty funny to watch but now comes the hard part of parenting: disciplining even when you think what they're doing is funny. I haven't really disciplined him yet, I think he's still too young. But I ignore his little outbursts and then he stops. He is such a handful already. But I love him. He's my little boo boo bear :)
3. He finally met his grandparents! They came to visit him in June and Cain fell in love with them. His grandpa taught him how to say "no" by shaking his head. It is still his favorite thing to communicate, to this day :)
4. Cain also met his aunties, uncle and cousins in California. He had the most fun playing with his cousins in San Diego :)
5. Cain had his first road trip this summer. We drove from Virginia to Texas to stay with Nana while Daddy is deployed.
6. Cain is going to be a big brother! His present arrives around Christmas of this year! :)

Ok, now for some pictures!

8 months

My little man is growing so fast! He learned how to crawl just a few days ago and yesterday he already WALKED a few steps by himself before falling to the floor! :) All he wants to do lately is practice walking followed by chasing Petey all over the house. He is fascinated by Petey's fluffy tail. Petey is starting to get annoyed with him but is very patient and sweet to him. Petey is such a kind soul. It's funny because when I walk Petey and Cain at the park, Petey is the one who gets all the "ahhhs" and compliments about his cuteness. Poor Cain, Petey steals his show :)

Cain has been a late bloomer on solids- but the past few days he has showed an interest in them. He's had pears, banannas and sweet potatoes. Yum! His favorite food in the whole world is still milk :)

Here are some pictures I've taken of him the past couple weeks. I am seriously going to do a post to document how he's grown month by month... but I've yet to find the time to focus for that long. :)

Cain is growing like a weed!

It's been a few months since we've updated Cain's blog. He has since sprouted his two bottom teeth, been sampling a few solids (mainly banana yogurt) and rolls all over the house. He is still learning to crawl- he almost has it! I'll update some more pics soon.
