An evening with Miss America..and other more important happenings

A few weeks ago, Mike and I enjoyed an evening out, thanks to Grandma Donna taking care of Caden. I had to put on a dress, hoisery and lipstick - all items that I haven't worn since B.C. (i.e. before Caden). Before heading out the door, Caden couldn't take his eyes off me. It was as if to say "what have you done with my Mamma - she doesn't normally look like this!?!?".
Our evening included a photo opportunity with the current Miss America. (Fun Factoid: She's the first Miss Nebraska to ever win the title.) By the way, she's the one on the left.


Although Caden has had another two ear infections since my last post, he CURRENTLY is infection-free. Ahhhh, it's wonderful. For everyone.

As he approaches his nine-month milestone, he is learning how to sit up (a bit more steadily) and how to army crawl. If he doesn't feel like army crawling, he's mastered rolling so well that it's sometimes easier and faster.

He's loves his baby foods - especially fruits, and even tolerates vegetables a bit better. What really gets him going - melted frozen yogurt!



His two bottom teeth are coming in nicely. Now if only another tooth would surface? We seem to be stuck on "pause" when it comes to teething progress!



Caden is an excellent typist. He enjoys helping Dadda check his fantasy baseball team's statistics on ESPN.com.



Have a great week! Happy Spring!
