How Far We Have Come!

I tried to get these to be in order, but that didn't really work. You all can just enjoy them in their randomness :). I was inspired by my friend Kira's post about her little girl's first birthday. Since I might forget to do that in June, here are some of my favorite pictures from the last 7 months. It has been a whirlwind and I cannot believe it has been almost 8 months. Cadence can now can sit up, roll around, say a bunch of sounds, she wrinkles her nose when she is happy and is very ticklish (among other talents). Her favorite things in life are her father, the two dogs and whole milk yogurt - I honestly cannot even put these in order or importance to her because she laughs and smiles for all three. I cannot believe she was ever as little as these pictures show and we are very excited to see how she changes as she grows up. At the time I thought we were taking too many pictures but now I look through them and am thrilled that we took them all. And just for kicks I want to leave you all with a witty conversation I had this past week.

I was reading a book about fireman to some kids at church:

little girl: I want to be a firegirl when I grow up-

me: Really, that is great my husband is a fireman.

little girl's 2 year old brother: Firegirl

me: I think you want to be a Fireman.

little boy: Firegirl

other little boy: Guess, what I want to be when I grow up?

me: What?

little boy: A Power Ranger (then he made some karate move thingy)

I came home and told Ryan this story - he said I should have told both kids the term was Firefighter. I think he missed the cuteness factor :).
