You turned ONE year old today Caden Lane!
Happy Birthday!
It is so hard to believe that you are one now! This year has been the biggest blessing! Having you has enriched our lives so much! You are my little miracle baby! It seems like yesterday that you were so little and now you are walking around pushing your toys around the house with a great big smile on your face! It seems like yesterday you were this tiny!
And now you are this big!One year photos courtesy of Brittany Hejl, more to come.
Today we had some family over and cooked hamburgers and hot dogs to celebrate your big day! Cousin Zack loves to push you on your swing and you love him so much!
Mommy made you a birthday cake and daddy had to add his special touches! You enjoyed digging into your cake! And we enjoyed watching you make a mess! We had such a great day!
You are our happy little Bug!
You have such a sweet demeanour about you and you complete our lives!
This is the hole you dug into your cake :)
You got a quick clean up bath and then we opened just a few presents, the rest we are saving for your birthday party this Saturday!
Opening gifts!
Playing in the tub of balls while daddy aired up your ball pit!
Time to play!
You and Zack had fun playing and you were beat for the night!
You go to the doctor on Friday and we will know how much you weigh and how tall you have gotten this year! You have done so much this past month! You are now saying "Dada, Mama, hi, ba ba, uh oh, and Thank you!" I am trying to teach you please and your name, we will see how that goes this month. You are walking more and more pushing your toys or anything that moves easily and around the furniture. You will be walking on your own in no time! You still are wearing 12 month clothes and size 4 diapers. You still only have 2 teeth and have no signs of a new one coming in yet. You continue to learn so much! You shake your head no when you don't want something and you point at things you do want. I always tell you to "Use your words" and we are working on new ones. You got another ear infection this month and Dr. Ferguson will recheck your ears on Friday when we go. This is double ear infection #3, you always seem to get an infection in both ears at the same time with fever that gets you down for about 2 or 3 days each time. Mommy loves the extra cuddle time but hates when you are sick. We still have our play dates with Rylee Grace at least once a week and you LOVE her! Your smile gets larger the first time you see her each time! And yall play so well together although we are learning NOT to scratch her. It is also Rylee's first birthday today! Happy Birthday Rylee Grace Dubois! Yall are BFF's and I know yall will truly be best friends forever!Again I must say Happy First Birthday sweet boy! Mommy and Daddy love you so much more than you will ever know! We are so excited to see what our future holds and see you grow into a big boy! All our love!
~Mama and Dada!
Be still, for this is a sacred day.
