Quick, much needed update...

Sorry, things have been getting very hectic around here with our big move coming up. Here's a quick update of the last few weeks.
Our good college friends stopped by at the end of May for a quick visit. We met Cisco and Kaui's daughter, Kaila, for the first time. She's a doll! Kaila and Cade had a lot of fun playing together!
They both HATE the playpen when they're by themselves, but for some reason, they both wanted to play in it that day. They were content in it for about 10 minutes, then soon realized it wasn't fun anymore. We had so much fun watching them interact. Kaila is 6 months older than Cade, so it was neat to get a preview of things he'll be able to do in the near future!
We went to Uncle Chester's graduation party. Congrats!

My cousin and her family were visiting Seattle, so we met up at the Seattle Aquarium! This was Cade's first time there and it was neat to watch his curiosity towards the animals. He's in to pointing at things and the animals at the aquarium are very easy to see, so he was excited! This is the first time he's shown an interest in animals or proved he can see them; usually he just sits in his stroller and falls asleep.

Cade has no concept of sleeping in on the weekends. He sleeps through the night, but gets up between 5:30-6:30 to drink a bottle, then will go back to sleep for a couple of hours, which allows us to sleep a little more too. We take turns getting up with him in the early morning, but I'm usually the one to get him around 9. We bring him back to our bed and let him crawl around us, usually to wake the other parent up. Cade had fun waking Garrett up the other morning; he was poking at his face and finally decided to dig his nose!

Cade is becoming much more adventurous. He loves to crawl up our stairs and has even tried crawling down them (backwards). He is into tippy toeing to see things higher up and pushes boxes over to places so he can stand on it. His new favorite thing is to stand up on his car or sit down backwards and make his butt hit all the buttons. Ohhhhh no...I feel a rambunctious toddler on our hands!
