Kade Update (15-19 months)

Kade:

  • says: alright, wow, mama (FINALLY), dada, hey there, bye bye, Jase, uh oh spahettios, yay, Papa, Grammy, hey, ball, thank you, Presley, Grammy

image

  • understands SO much! it’s amazing. I’m not sure if we just don’t remember or if he is just super smart, but his comprehension skills are impressive. He can follow directions & knows what we’re talking about when we give directions or ask questions like “get your shoes, throw this in the trash, can you bring me the wipes, get the cereal, put this in the laundry room,” etc. If Jase says “Grammy is here” or “Daddy’s home” then Kade will sprint to the door.
  • wants to be like Jase & thinks he is grown.

imageimageimage

  • loves to throw EVERYTHING!!
  • is literally into everything! He climbs on everything, loves to get everything out of the cabinets, etc. He is very adventurous & pretty fearless.

imageimageimage

  • Took his first steps in September. He can totally walk and will take 5-6 at a time. Stand up, sit down, stand and throw things, pick them up, stand and JUMP, but when he’s ready to get somewhere, back to the world’s fastest crawler.
  • started really walking at 17 months, then started RUNNING & JUMPING at 18 months. He can literally SPRINT now.

image

  • is an excellent sleeper. Woke up a few different nights when he was cutting his 2 year molars, but other than that takes great naps & sleeps really well at night. He goes right down! Sleeps from 8:30 pm till about 9:15/9:30 am every morning.

image

  • Speaking of teething…he has pretty much all of his teeth now. His molars (top right and top bottom) finally broke through. They are HUGE! Poor guy. His gums around those molars swell & look like huge bumps/blisters.

image

  • absolutely LOVES riding this 4-wheeler.

image

  • is the happiest baby I think I’ve ever been around!

image

  • still takes a paci at nap time & bed time. He is very picky about them though & won’t take a bigger size.

image

  • has a smile that will seriously light up a room. I’m pretty obsessed with his dimples!

imageimageimageimage

  • is probably going to be a little athlete. He has great coordination, is FAST as lightening, and loves to play ball.

image

  • LOVES to play in the bathtub. He gets mad when you turn the water off and when you get him out.
  • may have an allergy to chocolate.

image

  • will hit his head against the wall or throw himself backwards if he’s mad and not getting his way. (this just started. whew! i don’t remember Jase having a temper like that when he didn’t get his way)

image

  • loves animals.

image

  • did I mention he wants to do everything Jase does & thinks he is grown.

imageimageimage

  • is SO friendly! He waves at everyone, LOVES people. Kade is very charismatic & a total charmer. He brings such joy to others!

imageimageimageimage

  • loved helping decorate (& then undecorate the whole bottom part of the tree).

image

  • knows exactly what he wants.

image

  • has the FUNNIEST little big personality! He makes us laugh so hard!

imageimageimage

  • still wants to be held a LOT. mostly by me.

image

  • but he also really loves for his Daddy, Papa, Grammy, & Granddaddy to hold him.

imageimageimage

  • favorite foods: peanut butter toast, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, biscuits, pancakes, green beans, Greek yogurt, strawberries, spaghetti, chicken soup, tuna, fish, chicken, dipping anything

image

  • throws everything in the trash. If we can’t find something, there’s a good chance Kade has put it somewhere. Maybe in the trash.

image

  • likes to climb the stairs – ay yi yi!

image

  • has learned to come down the stairs on his belly.

image

  • has the most INFECTIOUS belly laugh you’ve ever heard!

image

  • loves to wrestle with Daddy.

image

  • Size 18-24 months, size 5 shoe, size 4 diapers (about to switch to size 5)

image

  • favorite toys: balls

imageimageimage

  • has learned to whine if Jase is bugging him (or even if he’s not…he kinda milks it)

image

  • sometimes runs from Jase straight to me so I’ll pick him up.

image

  • seems to have had a growth spurt in the last 2-3 months. It has definitely been more maturity/emotional/communication than physical. He went from seeming like a baby to more of a toddler/big boy.

Sweet Kade- You are absolutely MAGNETIC and we love seeing the JOY you bring to others. We are so thankful we get to be your parents. You make us laugh every single day, and we have no doubt that others are going to be drawn to Christ in you as you grow. You are a leader. You have a mind of your own & a strong will. You are going to change the world! You are a precious gift to our family & I am so proud to be your mama.
