As we are getting closer and closer to Cadence's first birthday I am getting more and more emotional. I knew I always wanted to be a Mom but never understood how much it would change me!  I never knew something could mean so much.  I have realized that no matter how much I deny the fact she is almost 1, it is going to happen!  So I have been preparing and squeezing the hours, minutes, and seconds out of every day!!

We recently celebrated my birthday, a roadtrip, a family wedding, party planning and trick or treating!

Fall 2013

This is by far the start of my favorite time of year.  This year has been so special because we now have our sweet girl.  It has gone so fast and I just feel like I am trying to squeeze every second out of the day.  We have been up to so much so here it is in pictures.

11 Months Old

Wow!  I can't believe we are fast approaching one year!  It feels like yesterday I was walking into the hospital to get my BP checked and had our sweet girl 24 hrs later!  Here we are at 11 months and I have loved every stage!!  

Sweet Girl,

You are my best buddy.  We spend our weeks having fun and exploring new things.  You enjoy running errands with mommy throughout the week and our wednesday's when we visit the library and you get excited to crawl around and smile at the ladies at the library.  This is mommy's favorite time of the year and we are busy bees!  We just went and got your first pumpkin!  Of course you tried to eat it!  Can't wait to see how much fun you have during the holidays!

You are still in size 3 diapers.

Wearing 12 month clothes.

You like to fake cough and makie noises to get people's attention.

You say, ba-ba, pa-paw, da-da and other things we don't quite understand.

 You love to watch Mickey, Jake, Sophia, and Halloween kid movies (ok maybe mommy likes them ;) )

Favorite foods are pasta primavera, anything with apples and bananas and of course your puffs and melts.

You stand on your own for a few short seconds.  You have taken two steps but we don't think on purpose. ha!

We are crazy busy right now hence the late post!  Next time will most likely be a birthday post!!  Oh my!

10 Months Old

I feel like each month there are a ton of milestones but I think the 9-10 month  has proved to be anlot of leaps and bounds.  By far one of my favorite times because lots of interaction and her personality is starting to shine with lots lf spunk and drama all rolled into one!  Drama from a girl... say it isn't so!!

Sweet Girl,

You are still in size 3 diapers.

You are starting to slim down!  (Momma is gonna miss the rolls!)  Fitting back into some of your 9 month clothes.

You  weigh 21.10 Lbs.  Haven't checked your length since last dr appt but you are getting longer!

You crawl all over the place, pull up on everything, and walk along things.

You have 2 teeth!  Finally!!  

You are now holding your own bottle and feeding yourself.  (This started today and Mommy cried a bit knowing you don't need me anymore!)  (now you know she get's the drama honestly)

You Babble a lot but no new words.

You just got over Sinusitis and Croup.

You love evening walks when it is cool out.

You love people watching at Walmart.

You are eating us out of house and home!  Kidding, but you eat 2 thing s of baby food at each meal and 6oz bottles when you have a bottle.

Most of all you make me so happy!!  Daddy and I love watching you grow and have loved every minute of the past 10 months.  

Love

Mommy
