So I was politely reminded today that it has been nearly 3 weeks since updating the blog. Here's a quick review of what we've done since May started 11 days ago!

Our little ham smiles at the red light on the camera. Smart kid. He uses this cheesy smile to get food from us. Hard to resist, huh!

For a little guy who is now only in the 5th percentile for his age, he sure has some chompers! He uses them to carry things around while he crawls. This little cell phone that goes with his car toy is his favorite to carry in his mouth.
Four bottom chompers and a 5th popping up on the side. He's getting better at brushing his bottom teeth, but hates brushing the tops.
Four top chompers. Every once in awhile we have to dig in his mouth for something he's not supposed to be chewing and he BITES down on our finger! OWWEEE!

On May 5th we celebrated Boy's Day! In the Japanese culture it's a day of honoring the boys by dressing them up in hapi coats (like a kimono for boys) and displaying koi fish outside for good luck!
It is not easy to get a 9 1/2 month old to sit for a nice picture! He kept getting up and moving all over the place!
We celebrated Lynn's first Mother's day! One of our friends told us about a fundraiser at the zoo, so we ventured out in the morning and were able to see the animals. The last time we were there, Cade was only about a month old! Boy, has he changed!
Cade got to meet a peacock up close! Don't worry, he didn't peck us or get any closer!
Cade sent me flowers at school for Mother's day!
Cade is learning new things so quickly and he is full of ENERGY! He understands how to play with Sporty and is learning the word "no" better. Don't worry, Green Doggy is clean, Mom! :)

Cade is getting better at walking with assistance. Since we took this video a few days ago, he walks with the car without falling!
The next few weekends will be busy with visitors from all over the country: Hawaii, Oregon, Idaho and Illinois! We'll try to update when we're not busy!
