Playing outside


We took him to The Little Gym last week and then did a couple errands after that. By the end of lunch he was out! Tired boy...


Kaden still adores Juliet. He will often go sit by her and play with one of his toys while sitting next to her. He was so happy to lay next to her here (I was singing songs to both of them and it worked out well to have them right by me!)





Up to no good!! I was cleaning up Kaden's breakfast and came around the corner to find him sitting ON the table playing with the toy!! So after getting a couple pictures, I made him get down!

Water hose obsession continues....

Kaden is still obsessed with the water hose and anytime we head outside he walks over to it and says "wawa" (or sometimes water). He has started walking over to our neighbor Julie's house in the evening and will go to her back door (where he can see her cats) and knocks on her door. He loves playing at her house because it's the opposite of being baby-proofed and he finds SO many things he doesn't get to play with at home. The other day he found her water hose (not hooked up) and carried it around with him outside. His other fun thing that he wants to do outside every day is walk across the street and go to the backyards of the houses across the street. He gets SO mad when we pick him up and take him back to our side of the street.

So... he found the hose


Hauled it from the back of Julie's house, down her driveway, across the street, into the grass area between the other townhomes...



went diagonally across the grass into the mulch, and used the mulch as a sidewalk...


made it the the neighbor's backyard (he LOVES this person's porch for some reason)


then headed to the woods behind the houses...


still pulling the hose...


coming back to Mommy...


and then back to the porch...


and then back to the woods again to check out a statue...


and was beyond happy when he realized there was a small collection of water in the statue's dress...


deeper into the woods...


and then back to the sidewalks on our side of the street...


up Julie's driveway...


to her garage...


and then just played with the hose in her driveway - he thought it was funny when I'd shake the hose....






just when he thought he couldn't have any more fun with the hose, I turned the water on!






watering the mulch...


and taking a drink...


Talbot was hot from playing frisbee, so I was trying to fill her frisbee with water so she could have a drink. He kept taking the frisbee and then throwing it on the ground. He thought it was really funny. Talbot didn't share his enthusiasm!






more hose play...






with Julie and Talbot (knocking on Julie's front door for the cats to come see him)


then Daddy came home and shared his sunglasses!


Another fun day!

Videos!

Here are a couple videos of Kaden.

This is one where he was SO tired in the car! You can see how much he likes his blankie and needs that tag!


Kaden has SO many new skills. Here he shows you he knows where his belly is, how to wave/say bye, do wheels on the bus, say blankie, and push the table. When I'm video taping and he's cooperating, I'll ask him to do as many tricks as I can!! He was working really well with me on this day!

Frisbee golf and others

Matt and I haven't been frisbee golfing since before Kaden was born. Since he's a pretty stable walker now, we decided to go last weekend. This is how we celebrated Father's Day.











There was a playground at the same place as the frisbee golf course, so Kaden got to play after we were done



One of my planters doesn't have anything in it but dirt right now, and Kaden loves digging in it. He uses the 2 shovels Great Grandma Weis gave him and digs away. I love that he knows exactly how to use a shovel!



Carrying a piece of wood


He still drools all the time. Most days he'll go through 2-3 shirts. He's been constantly teething for the past 4 months. Luckily I think he only has 1 more tooth to go before his 2 year molars (we're at 15 teeth right now).






I take Kaden to the neighborhood pool at least 3-4 times a week. A friend of mine meets me there and we let our kids play (her son is a month younger than Kaden and she has a 2 year old). They have so much fun. Kaden really likes the water. He kicks his feet and splashes a lot. He tries hard to blow bubbles, but usually ends up just sucking in a bunch of water! We're hoping he gets my swimming skills instead of Matt's!



today he kept taking the pool toys out of the pool and putting them by our stuff






sitting at his picnic table and drinking his juice

giving Talbot a treat...


...and taking them away to taste!! yuck!
