Kaizen Klan: This and That

Caden, Caden, Caden where do I start. Well to start with he's doing fantastic. His speech is coming right along. Everyday he is improving and building his vocabulary. His walking is also coming along great. He is still recieving physical therapy 2x per week, and occupational therapy1x per week. We also recently started horse therapy, and he loves it! He is quite the little character and keeps Don and I constantly on our toes. His newest thing is "help Mommy". Whatever I'm doing he wants to help me with it. He especially enjoys opening and closing the fridge, putting clothes in the washer and dryer and sweeping. We have also assigned him some little jobs which he is very excited to complete. He helps carry his dishes to the sink after meals and is incharge of putting things in the recycling bin. He also has taken more of an interest in his sister now, (he doesn't have much of a choice since she follows him around the house and plays with his toys). He tries to help feed her and gives her her binky. They have recently started playing chase around the house. It's a slow game since Téa is the chaser but she follows Caden around and both of them giggle hysterically. They are quite the riot!

Caden's ugly face

Téa is now a 10 month old bundle of energy. She is pulling to stand and cruising along furniture. In fact she was only crawling for 3 days when she pulled herself up for the first time. She is proving to be a very driven, motivated, and stubborn little girl who knows exactly what she wants. She is baby babbling a lot and I'm sure words are soon to come. Her and Caden have been playing together a lot more which has been very fun to watch. We're still trying to convince Caden that Téa is a good thing. Sharing has been the main issue in our house right now but hopefully perserverance will pay off. I can't believe that in about 2 months I will have a 3 1/2 yr old and a 1 yr old.

Aren't I cute?
