Cade's 2 year old stats

Cade recently had his 2 year old check up, and here are his current stats:
Height: 35.5 inches, this puts him at the 75%
Weight:28 pounds, this puts him at the 50%
*Just for fun, if you put his age at 21 months, instead of 24- his height goes up to the 95% and weight stays at 50%.  We are still not sure if he will "catch up" to his gestational age and be as tall as Sophie, who is on track to be over 6ft. However, at age 2 Sophie was only a half inch taller than Cade is now.

Likes: His favorite toys are cars, trucks, or anything with wheels that he can ride on or push across the floor.  Cade is all boy right now, and busy, busy, busy!  Even if he is completely engrossed in something, 2 minutes is the most he will stay before moving on to something else.  He also likes books, especially books about cars, and trucks (surprise!)

Dislikes: Cade currently hates getting his diaper changed, and strangely enough, hates getting dressed. I think in Cade's ideal world he would just roll around in pajamas all day.  He also hates coming inside after playing.

Sleep: Cade is a very good sleeper, he sleeps 11 hours every night and takes a 2-3 hour nap everyday.  Since Sophie was finished napping at 2 and a half, to have Cade take such good naps is a gift!

Food: Cade is very picky right now.  He is rivaling Sophie at just how picky he is- which is saying something. He will eat oatmeal, fruit, crackers, pbj, raisin bread, applesauce and yogurt.

Temperament: Cade is generally a very happy, easy going fellow.  He will attempt a 2 year old tantrum, but is nothing compared to what Sophie used to do.

We feel very blessed to have Cade in our lives. He is our happy, high-spirited little boy.  It is hard to stay upset with him as he will smile and weasel a grin out of you. We are excited to see what his next year will bring.


Cade is 2!!

 Cade is completely obsessed with cars, and trucks and things that go- so it only made sense to have a cars and trucks party. I was quite proud that I found a truck cake pan on ebay for 2.99 (it was from '86) and Carl decorated it perfectly!
 Showing off the finished product- and cade sneaking a bit of frosting.
 One of his favorite gifts, now he can dunk all by himself!
 Cake time!  Starting off nice and neat with a fork....
 quickly forgoing the fork and using hands...
 finished product!  He was a mess and went straight into the tub.
Cade was sick on his birthday and took a turn for the worse over that night.  He ended up in the hospital the next day needing oxygen and being treated for RSV.  After 2 looong days, he was back home and back to his rascally, busy self!  He's a tough one!
