Taking a spin (in Mom's shoes)

He thinks it is hilarious!

Sorry for the sideways video....

Little builder

Caiden is getting quite good at sorting & stacking. He's been building up the block tower below by himself. He is pretty good at judging size to see which block goes next. When he gets it wrong, he fixes it. Or he just knocks the whole thing down and starts over.

Bowl hats are funny!

NH trip

Dan was on Nantucket for a guys weekend, but Caiden and I headed north to NH so that Caiden could meet Dan's cousin and her daughter, who were in town for a Dartmouth reunion. It was great to have Caiden meet Jade and Russa. The age difference between Caiden and Russa is a little too great for real playing  at this point, but they did have fun building up and knocking over blocks together.

Caiden also had fun playing with his Grammy and Grandpa. We had great weather, Caiden had a blast exploring outside.

Breakfast on the porch... can't beat that!

We all were all home in time to spend Sunday afternoon together, to celebrate Dan's birthday and Father's Day.

20 Months and a catch-up

Wow I have been bad at blogging recently. Here's a little overview of what's new in the life of Caiden.

Caiden hit 20 months last week. Not too much development, a few new words and a little physical advancement like the ability to climb up on the couch (sometimes), learning to drop kick a ball goalie style, and improved skills on the stairs. He definitely had a growth spurt, and it is getting harder to keep things out of his reach (and eye sight).

Over the last month Dan has been gone for two weekends. Caiden definitely misses Dan when he is not around. Anytime he sees any biggish black car he points and says "Dadda" over and over again. He does the same when he sees photos of Dan.

Here are some photos from the last few weeks.
