Yoga baby

If you spend a little time with Caiden you'll see he has an obsession with baby yoga, more specifically downward dog. He gets into this position frequently. Sometimes he crawls around like this. Sometimes he gets thisclose to doing a somersault.

When he is not busy perfecting this pose, he is often hard at work on his basketball skills. His ability to stand is growing by leaps and bounds every day, and this morning at Nana's he was teaching himself to dribble.

Another recent discovery is his own hair. Caiden has been yanking on other people's hair for months now, but he recently found out that he's got his own head full of hair. He pulls at it all of the time, even when he's nursing. The unfortunate side effect of this discovery is the fact he does this while he's eating, too. We used to be able to get by without shampooing his hair every day, but now it's a must. Sticky, gooey hands go straight into the hair. Apparently, banana makes a good hair gel.

We had a good weekend. Aunt Elizabeth babysat on Saturday night so Dan and I could have a night out. And my college friend Jen came over yesterday for a visit. Caiden thought she was swell. He was feeling a little grumpy most of the day, but broke out in giggles for her.
