Kaiden at 10 Months

It's hard to believe that in 2 more months Kaiden will be turning ONE!!! I was just thinking the other day that this was how old Madison was when we found out Kaiden was on the way, and I am pleased to announce that it is NOT the case this time!!! WHEW!!! Kaiden has had a busy month...he's been practicing his walking with the walker and plenty of help from Mom, Dad, and big Sis. Thursday he took his first steps on his own!!! We're so proud of him. Now if I can just get him to do it for the video camera. This past week was hectic as he was home most of the week with a fever. Eric and I took turns staying home from work until finally on Friday he was fever-free and could return to daycare. He's also started talking a lot more. He can say, "Go", "Uh-Oh" and yes, "Dada", (even though we all know that Mama is his favorite :) He also jabbers a lot of other words that only he and Madison can understand. It is so cute watching the two of them interact. I've been working on some baby sign language with him and he seems interested, and always laughs hysterically when I do the sign for monkey and make a silly face. Kaiden has taken over the role of King of the Man Cave. Notice he has the remote, and is staking claim on the recliner! Just like a man!!!
This is one of my favorite pictures of him sitting in his window sill.
Kaiden has also been enjoying pulling the ornaments off the tree.
I'm pretty sure he learned this from Madison and Barkley. I don't think I'll be making any more little signs with his month on them. He pulled this one off the wall just before I could snap the picture. He loves tormenting me when I'm trying to stage the perfect picture!!!
