I'm home today with Cadence, who has a cold. The poor guy is so stuffed up he can't sleep but we're managing. My "I-prefer-not-to-medicate" stance goes out the window at 3am when we've been awake for two and a half hours and I have to work in the morning. Three cheers for Dimetapp and Tylenol (one helps with the stuffiness and the other with the teething pain that stops him from sleeping once we finally get him breathing). I think he's on the mend, and I have to hand it to him--Cadence's spirits continue to be great despite the red little nose.

We had a visit two weekends ago from Drew's dad & brother Neil; as is our pattern lately we didn't get all that many pictures. (actually we got some great portrait-type shots but they're with Drew's fancy dancy camera).





Uncle Steve and Aunt Lee gave Cadence these mega blocks last summer. It took a while, but he's now fully into making castles. His turn out quite neat since he's not obsessed with making it all square.


Drew's started taking Cadence to the library once in a while. I think they have a lot of fun there, not just looking at books but I suspect there are peekaboo-type shananigans that go on as well.




Walk to work/daycare one day last week.


Cadence stole my apple the other day. He likes to share his food with Tofu.


And he also knows that there are often fun things (i.e. balls) to be found under the buffet in the kitchen. Cadence is getting better every day at playing fetch with Tofu. Although he tends to throw the ball/toy at Tofu rather than for tofu...but he's on the right track. :)
