These past two months have certainly been a fun time! Caiden's personality comes out more and more each day and it it such a joy to watch. He is such a happy little boy and always smiling. Over the past few months we had experienced the whole "stranger anxiety" stage which was tough. Caiden only wanted his Mommy & Daddy and wouldn't really go to anyone else (well - except his Grandmom, he always loves being held by her!). As a parent it was hard to explain to people that they shouldn't take it personally and that it was just a phase that he would be over soon enough. And luckily he has worked through it! :-) He seems much more willing to let people hold him and seems to not mind who it is as long as he's having fun!
He has been working a lot on his motor skills and seems to refine them more each day. He is sitting on his own now but needs a little assistance because he gets overly excited and throws himself backwards sometimes. He was never much of a fan of tummy time but seems to enjoy it and has started trying to get himself around. We're just waiting for the day that he begins crawling, as he is now scooting himself backwards and rolling over repeatedly to get somewhere. He also has decided that he likes to sleep better on his tummy so he has been getting used to rolling around in his crib. Another fun thing that he has discovered is that he has the ability to copy things that we are doing. His Granddad Scafone taught him how to stick out his tongue (thanks a bunch Granddad!) and he'll copy you whenever you do it. He'll also try to imitate sounds - like growling at the Lion King on TV the other day. It is so funny to watch!
Caiden was super excited to have a week long visit from his Uncle Ant this month! He also got a surprise visit from his Uncle Brett, and his Granddad Jackson & Barb will be visiting this weekend. How exciting!
Here are some fun photos over the past two months:
He just LOVES his jumper from

Can't believe he's big enough for the swing!
Can't ever have enough toys, right?!

He loves to look out the window
while eating his meals!
Our biggie boy is eating puffs

in his mouth!
