Summer!...and lots more

Well today is the first full day of summer and we had lunch with Carrie, Kim, Daniel and Caroline to celebrate.  While today marks the official start of summer, I've been on summer vacation for almost a month now.  I've noticed so many amazing changes in Cade in the short amount of time I've been home with him.   Watching him learn new things so rapidly has been really fun to see!  During his 6th month, Cade has learned how to sit up without support, roll over both ways with ease, babble to include vowels and consonants (ba-ba-ba, da-da-da, etc.), and stand up while holding onto something.  He's at a super fun stage right now and there are so many precious things about him that I want to remember forever.  Anyone who knows me knows I can be quite forgetful, so I thought I'd better write a few things down.  However, I'm sure there are lots of things I'm forgetting to include.  :)
  • Your hair is C-R-A-Z-Y!!  Some days you get these little corkscrew curls on each side of your head.  I call them your hair horns.  Also, your hair gets in little knots and the only way to get them out is to cut them out.  I probably cut out 4-5 a week!
  • You are a serious hair puller.  You've pulled out handfuls of my hair!  If my hair is within your reach, you're grabbing it and pulling....HARD!
  • You like to sleep on your side and you turn yourself in your crib so that you're laying widthwise instead of lengthwise. 
  • Your bottom two teeth are the cutest!!  Your top two teeth are coming in and you have a ridiculous amount of drool in your mouth all the time.  :) 
  • You like to spit (make wet razz sounds) and squeal and babble a lot!
  • You like to put your toes in your mouth.  Actually, you like to put everything in your mouth. 
  • You're still quite a ham and smile at people when they talk to you out in public. 
  • You are very chilled out when we're out, but at home you are incredibly active - always moving, pushing, rolling...ALWAYS!  At times, I want nothing more than to sit and cuddle with you, but you won't have it...not even for a few minutes.  :) 
  • You've started trying to feed yourself.  You grab the spoon and put it in your mouth. 
  • You smile really big and kick your feet really fast when you get excited/happy. 
  • You love remotes, Solo cups, my cell phone, and chewing on the tags on your toys. 
Ahhh....okay, this entry has turned into a total ramblefest so I'd better stop here although I could go on for pages.  We love everything about you Baby Cade!
Daniel and Cade
Big Boy at Ms. Debbie's (Cade went there on Wednesday so I could go to a couple of appointments).

You love to play with anything that's not really a toy.  And you can kind of see your hair horns in this picture. 

I found you sleeping on your tummy this morning.  This was the first time you rolled all the way over on your tummy in your crib. 

Here are some of the knots I cut out of your hair today.  How weird is it that I took a picture of this?  And even weirder that I posted it.  yeah....
