Kade just took off with his blankie... seriously.. this is after 4-5 days of just walking! Love it! Also... anyone know where to find a blanket like this?? Made by SpringMaid. We have looked everywhere. Online, in every store... there are holes in it already and I'm afraid that there won't be enough left of it to last him.
I know that most children walk a long time before this age, however, Kade has always been one to do it on his time and not the doctor's or mine. Teaching me more and more about the Lord, too. I have learned to rest in the fact that he will do things on his time and not be worried about it. So, last night, Kade and I were home while Lafe was working. I decided to put him out in the middle of the floor standing and ask him to come to me. He did! First with one step. Again with two, then three... then we had to play with something. We did that over and over. This morning.... well, by the video you can see... he just took off! That is exactly what he did when he crawled...he didn't do it until he knew he could do it well and at his speed. How fun!! Now, I know we're in trouble!
Swinging at the park....I love where my parents now live.
Jericho holding Jackson, Jacob holding Kade, Gracie walking by Jordan! What a great bunch of kids!
Kade playing by the wagon... it needs some TLC.
Not many, buy hey...not too bad for his first egg hunt!
Walking in Nana and Papa's yard looking for eggs...
Coloring eggs...
Sweet cousin to Jackson! He has a sweet sister rubbing his head, too!
Gracie Girl, Kade, and I playing with beads in the floor. They love 'em!
Probably the most favorite place for all of the grandkids to play... either on the stairs or in the sun room...
I just LOVE this picture of Kade! He is finally got a little bit of me coming out in him! Don't get me wrong...I LOVE that he looks like his Daddy... but there's a little bit of me coming out and it's so much fun!
He worked hard so he needed to relax....ha!
Put them on... take them off... put them on... take them off... repeat!
Cutest boy!! I just love him! After practicing a lot with Mom and Dad, Kade will now push one of his toys! Yea! We're finally getting enough courage and strength to walk across the room. I know that this is exciting and several of you are going to say... just wait after he's walking you'll be wishing for him to just be crawling. I know, I know, but how exciting for your only child to begin to walk!
Kade does things on his time...not ours or the doctors or the books. I like that about him so much. However, sometimes he has been hard to wait on his time. With Lafe and I pushing hard for him to start walking though the use of walkers, toys that you walk behind, standing with him and moving his feet... Kade really did not have any interest in learning what we wanted to teach him. Until the past couple of days... Lafe showed him how to walk by holding onto his fingers and he really enjoys it! Kade will crawl up to one of us and pull on our fingers wanting to practice walking! I love it! It is really neat that the Lord has been using Kade in our lives to remind us that no matter how much we ask, pray, or try to make things happen... it is God's timing for our lives. Really cool how a 13 (14 month old tomorrow!) can be used of the Lord already!!
We thought we would show Kade about playing in the snow... however, he would have NONE of it! I don't think he liked the cold temperature or being wet. Maybe we'll try again next time AND after a nap instead of before!
