Growing up fast



Cadel is off and running, almost literally, on his way to being a toddler. In the last post you saw how he can now pull himself up to a standing position. That is old news just four weeks later. Not only is he pulling himself up with ease he has learned how to balance himself against walls to stand up (meaning nothing to grab on to like a shelf, table or chair). Once he had that down he moved on to using objects to walk around. He has figured out how to move from the coffee table to couch by slowly shifting his weight towards the couch so he starts to lean over. Once he is just about to fall he swings his hands over and grabs the couch to stand against.

Not to sound like a broken record but he left that little trick in the dust and now uses his play table (I guess that is what you call it) to walk around the den. I'll try to get a video of this tonight and post it soon.

In other news Cadel's first tooth is completely in. One of his bottom front teeth is on display for all to see. Currently his two front teeth are coming in at the same time. This makes for some excitement around the house but also a very grumpy little boy. Hopefully the teeth come in before Mom heads to Texas to see Cadel's great grandparents in San Antonio later this month.

Cadel's travel itinerary has filled up fast. He is taking a trip to San Anontio and heading to South Lake Tahoe this month. Next month he is going to North Lake Tahoe and most likely Seattle/Redmond Washington for a weekend. After that it is off to Israel at the end of April to see Saba and all of his family there.

By the time this kid is one he will have traveled to three states outside of California (not counting a lay over in Chicago in April)and been to Israel and Germany (for about 10 hours). He is living the life for sure. Too bad he won't remember any of it. I guess that is why we have a Flip video camera and nice SLR camera.
