Miss Nebraska 2011
One of Caden's favorite full-time teachers in the infant room - Miss Kayla - was crowned Miss Nebraska 2011 last night. We are so very excited for her! However, it's bittersweet, as Kayla will no longer be caring for Caden as she'll be tending to her new gig.
The prior Miss Nebraska was crowned Miss AMERICA last year. Maybe Kayla will repeat that trend when she competes at the Miss America pageant in January.

Memorial Day in Minnesota
Same story, different day. Yes, I'm behind with updating the blog AGAIN.
Caden and I have been battling the flu this past week. To complicate matters, poor Caden has also been battling ear infection AGAIN. We're off to see a ENT (ear/nose/throat) specialist in a few days.
We had a GREAT time to Minnesota over Memorial Day weekend. Caden LOVED playing with Addeson and Hadley. He had big belly laughs when intentionally throwing things off his high chair tray and watching the girls pick them up...repeat, repeat, repeat. This game has not been as fun with Mommy since we've returned home! I don't pick things up as fast as the girls!

Long Overdue Update
I'm finally getting around to reporting our almost 10-month-old's 9 month check-up results! At Caden's 9 month check-up, his statistics were as follows:
* 31.5 inches long (110%) - the average height of an 18-month-old; and by-the-way, pretty much HALF way to my adult height
* 22 lbs., 7 ozs. (77%) - basically, a long and lean machine
* Fluid in his ears and another round of antibiotics...interesting given I had taken him to the doctor TWICE the week before and the P.A.'s we saw wouldn't give him anything...we are headed back to check his ears next week, and if there is still fluid, we're going forward with tubes!
* Between Caden's 6 month and 9 month check-ups, we had been to the doctor's office NINE times. Did I mention we are considering ear tubes?
* no shots (yay!)...a simple finger prick and Caden never batted an eye - tough guy
Although Caden wasn't able to hunt for his own Easter eggs this year, he kept a watchful eye on his cousin, Evan, filling up his own bucket. Next year, Caden will provide a little competition!
We had a nice Mother's Day and enjoyed a yummy buffet at Chances R restaurant. Caden was great and sat in a high chair for over an hour...playing with some toys, but mostly just people watching (like mother, like son).
We enjoyed a visit from Grandpa Ron and Grandma Nancy and Great-grandma Sally the weekend between Easter and Mother's Day. Caden loved all the extra attention.

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!

Giggle Monster
Here's our own little "Giggle Monster". It all started when we first pulled off his socks to change him into his PJs. He couldn't get enough of it so we kept repeating. These are the moments that warm your heart!
