A Woo Woo Gone

Father's Day fun

Hello again, it has been a while!  It is amazing how tough it is to keep up with a toddler running around, let alone two (we will get to that in a minute)

Things are great, Cade is going to be 18 months old in a week.  That is crazy!  Lot's of firsts for Cade since last time.  The Zoo, the aquarium, Elmo show, it has been a whirlwind. 

Cade loved the zoo.  He likes the elephants best, but loved all of it.  He would just stand there and stare at the animals, then clap like crazy.

The aquarium was great too, we went one day at the beach to get a break from the sun.  He would chase the fish around through the glass walls, and he loved the giant shark mascot.  Speaking of the beach, it was a little hit and miss :)  He liked it, but was a little scared too.  He may be more of a pool man!  He still had his moments though, splashing in the waves if you were right with him.  The funniest thing about it were the dogs.  The Woo Woo as Cade calls them.  He would chase them around the beach, petting them, kissing them, loving it.  And of course the dogs loved the attention too.  So when we left he kept asking for the Woo Woo, and we told him they had to go bye bye.  This morning still, he looks up and says "woo woo gone"  in a sad and determined voice.  Most of you know I am not a big animal guy, but dang if I might have to get a dog now. 

Super Star!

Mo! (otherwise known as Elmo) was a hit.  We were not sure what to think when we decided to go, but he sat in Jess's lap mesmerized for 45 minutes at the show.  Money well spent for sure.

Come here fish!

So about that 2nd toddler...not a hock to most, but some of you don't know.  Jess is pregnant with "deuce" as I call her, or Ki Ki as Cade calls her.  Kennedy Elisabeth will be joining us and completing our family on August 30th. 

We are super excited, maybe a little nervous too :)  Cade is hilarious with it, you ask him what his sister's name is, and he makes this cry face and whimpers.  He thinks all babies just cry!  But you ask him to say Kennedy and he says Ki Ki and pats his mommas belly and gives it a kiss.  It is really sweet.  Some times though, when you ask him where the baby is, he lifts his shirt and points to his belly.

Cade is also talking more and more, and trying to help us do things.  I think we can use that to our advantage with deuce!  He likes to put his diaper in the diaper genie upstairs, then wash his hands.  He loves to help sweep/vacuum and wants me to carry him the whole time I cut the grass.  That one is a bit tougher, but I do it none the less.  He is also a superstar at cornhole...granted he just walks right up and throws it in but who is going to tell him he can't?  He is a ringer!

His favorite color is GEEN!  He knows what green is, but if he is worked up, everything is green.  SO we just have to only ask when something really is, so he gets it right :)  He actually is pretty good with Blue too, but geen wins the day no doubt.  I think his favorite person outside of Ga Ga and Ga, is Aunt "Ayi".  That boy loves some Ali!

He and his buddy Carson are getting to the age where they actually play together more, that is awesome.  Brent and Kendra come over and we hang out while the kids play basketball, ride the tractor or John Deere, whatever.  Since they both LOVE the Neverland Pirate Band, we decided they will be Sharky and Bones for Halloween, that is going to be hilarious.

Well folks, time to go play with the buddy, and get ready to avoid the 108 degree heat while still keeping Cade entertained!  Talk with you again soon.

Love,

Tim, Jess, Cade and soon to be Kennedy
