What's Caden up to?

For the first time in a month, Caden is not on medicine, whether it be inhaled through the nebulizer or swallowed by syringe. He might actually be disappointed as he's yet to meet a medicine that he hasn't enjoyed the taste!

Some of his recent antics include:

* He loves to say da-da-da-da and repeat, repeat! This could be the result of someone in this house prompting him to say this for the past 7 months.

* He loves to roll and wiggle to cover all surfaces of his crib. He reached through the slats and got ahold of the video monitor cord today. We discovered this when Mike took a look at the monitor and realized he was watching the ceiling! Note to self - tape cord to wall to secure from little fingers.

* Speaking of fingers and hands, he loves to clap your hand (High 5!) because he loves the noise it makes. He'll do either hand - right or left.

* His favorite "toys" have become the magnets on the refrigerator, my People magazine and a nearly empty Diet Coke bottle. Who needs Toys 'R Us anyway?

* He popped his first tooth this week. It's no longer an option to let him chew on our fingers!

* He strongly dislikes vegetables. Give him any type of fruit and he inhales it. Try to sneak in a bite of peas and he's done eating. He might even spit at you. Apparently, he likes peas as much as his Aunt Marcia and Aunt Cindy.
