Only 10 days left...

It is very hard to believe that Caden is almost a year old.

Where did the time go?

The funny thing is, I can barely remember what it was like without him. I wouldn't have it any other way of course, but it's just funny that way.

We are going to have a party for his first birthday at our house, and we are going to grill out. We already have his balloons on order, some decorations bought, we're in the process of picking what food we are going to grill.

We're going to get his cake from the The Cake Gallery. We are going to get him a small cake with a frog on it since he seems to love frogs so much. Then we are going to get a cake to match the party's theme. I won't say what the theme is yet, you'll just have to wait until you get there, or until I do the after party posting.

We are going to put Caden's picture on Channel 6 news for the "First Birthdays" segment they do everyday; like we did when he was 7 months on Channel 7 for thier "Birthdays on the 7's" segment.



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

Caden walks assisted!!

Mommy said that she held him up to stand and he stood straight up for her. Then when she stepped, he did also.

Obviously I can't write too much since I wasn't there.



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

Caden Stands!!!

We were at the mall and we Holly decided that she wanted to put Caden in one of the moving vehicles for kids. She decided that she wanted to put him in the Bob the Builder steamroller.

At first, he looked at me like, "What are you doing?" After a he got a hold of the wheel. He didn't care.

We put the quarters in and Grandma Debbie stood behind it with her arms through the back to make sure he stayed still. She moved away when he started to scoot forward.

I took a couple of pictures, but wanted some from the side too. So, I moved to the side, and he was standing there playing with the wheel. And I do mean "standing" in the literal sense. I couldn't believe my eyes. Both mommy and grandma were just as excited and surprised as I was.

He stood for a good 30 seconds before turning to the Bob the Builder next to him, then to me when he started to cry. So, I had to pick him up of course.

To see the other pictures, you do have to visit his website: http://caden.vermule.com. Then click on "Photo Collections" link.




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

Another Ear Infection

Caden has yet another.

Caden was stuffy this past weekend, he has also had a slight cough, and you can tell that he's had a sore throat. He has also been kind of cranky lately.

I took him to see Dr. Krenzer, his pediatrician, yesterday and she confirmed that he had an ear infection. She prescribed him Augmentin (by GlaxoSmithKline) which is used to treat many things including ear infections. So, that means he'll be on that twice a day for the next 10 days.

Since he is on that, he can't be in the Amoxicillin that he normally is since Augmentin contains Amoxicillin. He'll resume taking that once a day after he is done with the Augmentin.




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