Teeth

Dear Cadence,

On Friday night, Momma was sitting on the couch with you and like usual you were trying to eat my face. However this time as you bit down on Momma's chin, it hurt! That's when we noticed a cute little tooth coming in. How exciting!!! You finally have a tooth!

I love you Monkey! And no more trying to eat Momma, it hurts really bad, now that there is a tooth in your cute little mouth ;)

Love Mommy

Swimming with Papa

Dear Cadence,

Today you had your 3rd set of swimming lessons, of course you did great! It was your first time wearing a life jacket, but you weren't so sure of it. And Papa came out to go swimming with you.



You sure seemed to enjoy having Papa and Daddy in the pool with you. Momma and Oma took lots and lots of pictures. And after swimming, Papa and Oma took us out for brunch. It was a lot of fun.

Your getting to be such a big girl, Monkey! Momma loves you so much!

Love Mommy!

Truck Keys....UH-OH

Dear Cadence,

With all the excitement of the torch relay, Momma forgot to tell you what happened on Monday! Well we were just about to leave to go to Gramma's to watch the torch again... Momma was just fixing your car seat and I had you in the stroller. I guess you got a hold of the truck keys and pressed the lock button. Momma heard the horn honk like it does when you lock the truck with the key fob... and in my head I thought unlock the doors. But I forgot to do it.

When I was done adjusting the car seat, I put you into it. Then I put my cell phone, the truck key and everything else in the truck. And I thought to myself DON'T CLOSE THE DOOR! But what did I do?... I closed the door and you were locked in!

At the second the door closed I felt my heart break! It was a HORRIBLE feeling, you were inside the truck all alone and I was outside of it! I started to cry a little and thought about breaking a window. Instead I ran to the house and banged on the door, hoping that Doug would know how to break into the truck. Unfortunately he didn't know how! So he called a tow truck for us and Momma sat outside the truck waiting. All the while you smiled and laughed at me, seeing as I was just peaking in the window at you.

Thank god we got you out quickly. That was the worst experience ever. Momma loves you Monkey and please don't ever lock yourself in the truck again.

Love Mommy

Olympic Torch Relay

Dear Cadence,

Yesterday we went to watch the Olympic torch relay, twice. First we watched the torch come through Maple Ridge and then through Newton in the afternoon.



It was an amazing experience. Momma took lots of pictures and video taped it. I hope you enjoyed it as much as Mommy did. And you even got 2 flags. I love you sweet girl!

Love Momma

Crawler

Dear Cadence,

There have been a few time that you've crawled... but today seems to be the turning point! All of the sudden your crawling ALL over the house! In the kitchen, living room, hallway.... so far everywhere but the bedroom! I guess there's no stopping you now time to baby proof! I love you Monkey!

Love Momma

Swimming Lesson #2

Dear Cadence,

Today was your second swimming lesson and you did a great job. Mommy and Daddy both came into the pool with you and we loved every minute of it. You went completely under the water for the first time today and you didn't even cry, you just blinked your eyes a couple times and continued swimming! And Daddy took you down the slide for the first time as well! We are so proud of you.



As your swimming instructor said, you had an entourage there to watch you today! Gramma, Auntie Britt, Auntie Katie, Auntie Amanda, Uncle Justin, Uncle Dillon, Uncle Cole, Great Gramma and Great Grampy all came to watch you. Uncle Justin took lots of pictures for Momma and they all really enjoyed watching you. Your becoming a great little swimmer! Momma loves you so much Monkey!

Love Mommy

Little Crawler

Dear Cadence,

Well my sweet, it's official... your a crawling machine. A few days ago you crawled a few "steps" but last night at Gramma's you were crawling everywhere. Momma is so incredibly proud of you! Good job Baby! I love you.

Love Momma

Ps. I guess it truly is time for Momma to do some baby proofing in this house of ours...

Swimming Pictures...

Dear Cadence,
