Kader Bader... my baby boy is 1

Can it really be? Makade is 1 years old. WOW! This year flew by. It has been so interesting having a little boy and exploring all the fun things that Makade teaches me daily. I have no brothers so it has been an eye opening experience with this little guy. For instance... I had no idea that little boys like their "thingy"' so much. I expect that of grown men, but come on... my 1 year old?!? He is also SOOOOO much MORE trouble than Savanna ever was. He finds ways to get into things that I never knew would be interesting or appealing. Pulling clothes down off hangers, putting hands in a toilet (YUCK), pulling every single pot and pan out, standing on my dishwasher door, dropping eggs on ground from inside the fridge, lotions, and that is naming just a few. He has been walking now for 2 months and is currently RUNNING to keep up with Savanna. And he is really doing a good job at that! He has the bumps and bruises to prove he is truly a little boy. No matter how he falls he always manages to land on his head. I swear he will have a per ma bruise on his left side of his forehead! With all that trouble and havoc he causes, he is still my little cuddle boy. Savanna never really cuddled or clung to me like this little guy does. MAMAS BOY! And I am so fine with that. He is much more attached to his Binky as of lately and I'm attributing that to the whole "no more nursing" thing. He has become a great little sleeper too... going down around 8 and sleeping until about 7. Thank the heavens for that... finally, I am able to sleep an entire night through! He used to be such a heavy weight and now he is a light weight. Still weighs the same as he did 3 months ago.... 20 pounds. Apparently he is tall, skinny, with a big head. Go figure! I love love love love this kid! Happy 1st birthday Kade!

Birthday morning... waving to the camera!

Savanna loves her little brother and Makade ADORES his BIG sister!
This is one of Makades many FAVORITE faces
And another favorite face
We made home made oreo cookies... Makade LOVES them... cake is later!
This is some of the crew that came to his shin dig!
Heres the birthday cake
He wasn't sure what to think about the whole diggin into the cake!
Savanna was such a good helper... she was far more excited to open the gifts than Makade.
I'm sorry, but that is a cute view!
