Long Time No Post

I see it has been a year since I last had a post on here!  Wow how time flies :)  So why I am posting today?  Two of my close friends are also expecting babies and have started their own blogs.  I have been inspired by the ambition they show to record family history even though they themselves are extremely busy at this point in their lives.  They say, "Sara, Caedon will love to read all about his childhood later in life."  And I can't help but agree. So I decided to stop with all the excuses (I'm too tired, too nauseated, have other things to do around the house) and just take a couple minutes a few times each week to write about our lives.  So we'll see how it goes...wish me luck!

A little update on Caedon: This week we started using the forward facing carseat.  Guidelines have said that you can do this once they turn one-year old, but we knew it was still safer to be backwards if he still met the weight requirements.  Caedon is 14 months old and for the past 2 months I feel like the other parents at daycare and the teachers always give me a weird look when I still bring him in in his small carseat.  Out of all the other parents, we are the only ones still using that type of carseat.  So we changed this week (mainly because I had left Caedon's carseat in Chase's car, which was locked when I needed to take Caedon to daycare).  And then a day later, it was headline news that new guidelines say that kids should face backwards until they are at least 2 years old.  Haha, take that other parents, we are smarter than you (haha j/k)!!  But, he is so cute facing forward, looking all around and making faces at me in the rearview mirror!  I winked at him in the rearview mirror (while at a stoplight of course!) and he tried to wink back, squinting both eyes.  It was adorable!

There is so much to catch you up on in his life, this post could go on FOREVER!  I will just leave you with all the words Caedon says at 14 months: Mama, Dada, Papa (for Grandpa), Milk, Hot, Book, Ball, Uh-Oh, Yea (for yes), and he does sign language for More and his own sign for "All Done"- trying to take off a bib even if it isn't there when asked if he is all done.  I think that is all, but I will have to check with Chase and let you know if I missed any!

Well, that didn't take long to write.  Thanks friends for the encouragement!  This pregnant momma is tired and off to bed!! Night!
