It's been another great week around here! We finally made it to the doctor for Caden's one-year appointment on Tuesday (which made it his one-year-and-one-month appointment). Caden tolerated all of the poking, prodding, and measuring quite well and only yelled a little when he got his three shots (yikes!), vaccinations against measles, Hep A, and chicken pox. And we have official updates on his weight and height. He now weighs 20 pounds, 13 ounces and is 31 inches long. He is a long, lean guy, in the ~25th percentile for weight but the ~75th percentile for height.
Caden is quite interested in learning to walk, though he hasn't figured it out yet. As you can see, he's enjoying time in the Johnny Jumpup a lot these days, and he often demands (usually by leveraging his body against our hands and forcing himself upright) to be held up on his feet. He is also working on getting some teeth--we expect the two front top ones to emerge any day--so we've been brushing his gums in preparation for the real thing. 
Caden is also expanding his vocal repertoire. The other night, he started saying "hi," though we think that right now he's just experimenting with sounds, not necessarily greeting anyone. He definitely keeps up a running babbling commentary on our walks around town, and he becomes particularly vocal when we approach a cat or dog.
On Sunday, we invited friends over for brunch at our place to celebrate baby Cormac's arrival. The weather was great, the food was tasty (mmmm, coffee cake, scones, and fruit salad!), and the company was wonderful. We set up the sun shade in the corner of the backyard, and the little guys had a great time playing, snoozing, and hanging out.
