Where to start?

Caden is actually saying some words. He kind of says "Momma" and "Dada." But, he has said "More." We actually think that he kind of knows what it means.

One day we were feeding him some baby food, and we kept saying "More. Caden, do you want more?" And one time, he actually said it. He didn't say it for the rest of the jar of baby food, but he did say it that night when we visited grandpa Jay.

He also said it for grandma Debbie a couple of times.

Today, his therapist Kaye came over and when she was leaving, she said "Bye bye." and waved. Caden waved back. Holly and the therapist about hit the floor in amazement. He did it 3 times when she waved to him and said bye.

Earlier on today, Holly had called me because she had brought down a cube toy that Caden has. It's one of those toys that has shaped holes in it and the little shapes that children are supposed to start recognizing to get the shapes in the cube. The lid comes off pretty easily and Caden figured that out one day, so he took it off. We left it off and kind of used it to hold those pieces and a couple of other toys around easily.

Caden dumped the toys out in front of him, then he sat the cube next to him. He then proceeded to pick up the toys he dumped out and then put them back in the cube. How smart is that?!?

His therapists say that it is like day and night when they visit the other child in Ralston with Prader-Willi Syndrome. They said that the other baby was at about a one month level, and he is only a month younger than Caden.


On a sad side note, the therapist told Holly that the other child in Ralston that the therapists were working with passed away about a month ago. They said he was so weak and he couldn't eat. Please send your prayers to the family.



Until Next time, I continue to ask for and thank you for your prayers.
