He's verbal about when something is taken from him - aka his brother taking it from him. Sometimes, Tim will try to switch out the toy; sometimes, it's just taken...Cayden does better with the first option. :)
He's very verbal when he's not getting food quick enough. He'd rather say his version of all done and more (which sounds like "mmmmmmmmm"). He drinks milk at breakfast and dinner, and eggs are probably his favorite food right now. I think the kid can eat two eggs in one sitting. Lately, he's been very interested in holding a spoon and wants food to be on it - self feeding at it's best. He doesn't mind getting messy and doesn't mind being wiped down.
Cayden loves being outside. He'll stand at the window for quite some time, and when we're heading out the door, he starts pumping his legs in my arms. I'm looking forward to walking so that his hands aren't always all over the floor/ground. Cayden loves babies and Tim's play computer. He just got his own little piano and is loving it!
The boys have grown to love having each other in the back seat, and Cayden tickles Tim's toes across the seat. He's not too fond of sleeping in the car which can be a bit inconvenient sometimes. And they love taking baths together! Cayden loves splashing and eating the foam letters.
Back on May 3rd: "Cayden took two quick steps toward me today. We were in the kitchen, and he wanted me to hold him. He was standing at my legs, and I placed him sturdy on his feet. Rather than sit to crawl back over to me, he two-stepped and lunged toward me. I couldn't believe it! I called out to Tim, "Cayden just took two steps!!" Watch, he won't walk any more this month...just a tease."
It wasn't a tease and he's taken up to eight steps! The best is when he chooses to move from one stationary item to another. And he loves the praise of walking to and from mom and dad.
He's up to eight teeth at this point. I feel like he's moving more and more out of the "baby" phase and into a toddler phase.
