So, here is an update on the Pierce family...
Caden is 13 months old and growing like crazy. At his 12-month appt he weighed 23 lbs 13 oz (63rd percentile), height 2' 8.75" (99th percentile) and his head was in the 99th percentile also. How did he get so big?!?! He's growing up so fast and is not a baby anymore....no more bottles, no more pacifiers. He has a mouth full of teeth too - 8 in the front (4 on top, 4 on bottom) AND all of his 1st year molars have come in, which brings the grand total to 12. Ridiculous!
He's not walking yet but does just about everything else. He'd rather climb on everything instead of trying to walk. :) A couple weeks ago he climbed up the stairs and acted like he'd done it a million times - it was crazy!
His Aunt Heather took him to his first swimming lessons last week and he loved it. She's going to start taking him weekly now because he enjoys it so much. I'll put some pictures up here when I get them....
The weather has been really nice lately, here's a picture from the weekend with Caden all ready for summer.
A couple weeks ago we went to a Mariner's game with my parents, here's one of the pictures from outfield. Such a cute little boy! :)
In other news - Michael found out that he is going to India for his job for 2 weeks in the summer. I'm trying to plan a trip to go down to Texas to visit my family for some of the time that he's gone, so that will be fun.
I had a great Mother's Day yesterday....Michael (and Caden) made me breakfast in bed, then we went to church, came home and took naps and then we went out to a Brunch Buffet with Michael's mom and the rest of his family. A wonderful, healthy child.....flowers, cards and good food - so much to be thankful for!
The Texas MacPherson's will be in Oregon this weekend so we get to hang out with them at the beach. It's hard being so far away from my family, especially my niece and nephews because Caden doesn't get to see his cousins very often.
I've been listening to the new TobyMac CD and am loving it - especially the songs "Tonight" and "Wonderin' ". Oh how I love Matt Thiessen from Relient K....if only I could see them this week with Paramore. That would be a great concert to go to - maybe someday...
