Walking, peek-a-boo, and a birthday celebration...

Sorry, we've been busy getting situated, so the blog has once again been neglected. We've had a very busy July fly by! Cade had MANY milestones this month. In a span of about a week he learned to play peek-a-boo by covering his face, throw kiss, smile, and WALK! Yes, we now have an official toddler! He learned to walk so fast! One day we were counting 2 steps, the next day it was 17, and by the third day he was walking everywhere. Cade playing with his birthday cake on his real birthday

Centerpieces; we covered his formula cans in Transformer wrapping paper and stuck a label on them. We covered candies in celophane and attached them to a stick and made them stick out the cans. I found these cute Transformer paper boxes to make and made them also stick out the containers.

Beach time! Playing with daddy and Uncle Thomas. Uncle thought it was soooo fun to play in the sand again and was glad he had an excuse to do so.

I know my friend Heather is going to roll her eyes at this picture, but we're starting to potty train Cade. This picture sums up what he thinks of the situation!

Moving...

We have officially moved back to Maui! Everyone, including Sporty, made it here safely! It still feels like we're only here for a visit. I think once Garrett starts work next week and I get a job (fingers crossed!) then maybe it will feel like we live here. We've been trying to settle in and start organizing, but the humidity makes us very sluggish! Plus, our albino skins need some sun!

We took Cade to the beach for the first time. Lathered on SPF 50+ every half an hour and after we dunked him in the water. He tolerated the water and sand;definitely needs to get accustomed to it! He hated the cold shower to rinse off all the sand!

Cade is such a flirt. He would stare at all the girls who walked by or were near us and wait until they made eye contact. Then he would give them his dimply smile. Aaahhhhh we gotta watch out for this boy!

Oh, and Cade just started taking a couple of steps on his own! He's also standing and just trying to catch his balance more and more everyday!
