Kade turned one. I finally understand (a little) what parents mean when they ramble on and on about how fast time goes. I remember my mom always teasing me when I was young, telling me I wasn't allowed to grow up anymore. I feel that way about Kade. Sometimes I get so excited for the next stage or milestone and as soon as Kade hits it I miss the old stage (a truly vicious cycle) I'm really working on enjoying the here and now, because it really is all you have. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that's why it's called the present. (Cheesy kung-fu panda quote)
Anyway Kade has officially learned his first word. He has been copying things here and there the past month or so, but this is the first word that has actually STUCK, and no, it's not mommy (I'd me lying if I said it doesn't break my heart) it's "ball" he knows what a ball is and points out everything and anything remotely round. I made eggs for breakfast, every egg was a "ball" before it was cracked open. Tonight at Costco as we walked through the produce section and Kade immediately zoned in on the honey dew and started getting so excited that he recognized a "ball" (not the only ball in the produce section too) It is adorable to watch him learn, grow and develop meaning. He even recognizes balls in pictures (we have a picture of Bob Marley playing soccer)
Kade is also walking everywhere and occasionally tries to run. It's hilarious. Even more hilarious when he gets moving holding something massive (which is quite frequently actually) We sure do love that boy of ours.
