Kade's 5 months old!

I don't know how I got so lucky to have the happiest baby ever, but I am loving it!!  This month Kade has found his voice. He does a serious type of yelling ha...not sure how else to explain it.  He loves the jumper and is constantly putting himself to sleep in it.  He usually sways side to side instead of jumps.  He has his hands in his mouth constantly. He had his first Christmas! Finley is definitely his favorite...Finley can get him to laugh more than anyone.  He is still only BF. He has started sleeping in his own room and bed for the majority of the night this past week...usually from 10pm-3 or 4.  He no longer takes a pacifier he just chews on it if I try to give it to him.  He has had a clogged tear duct since birth and since Christmas has become a little worse so he might need a small surgery to clear that up. He is rolling every wear and loves to examine his hands.  I sure do love this boy of mine!!

The things they say...

 FINLEY:
-He prays for Grandpa Tom to come back to life already
-He prays he doesn't clog the toilet (happened 1 time and now is a constant fear of his)..this also made him curious about plumbing and where stuff goes when we flush so he has been learning about that.
-My favorite kind of food is Ham. And Ham Sandwich has the word Ham in it, so it has to have Ham.
-I like to eat hot things so I can breathe fire.

 VERA:
-I gotcha.
- Dat cool, mom? Dat funny mom?
- Wait a second...is that...(whatever)
- When she is letting the water out of the tub she says "mom, I will flush it"
- You get it, crazy mom!
- My name is (starts to sound it out) C C C Bera.
- She calls purses "persons" and always walks around with something similar to a purse and says "mom, dis my person."
-calls everyone "silly goosters"
-"im da mom, you da bera...you listen to me!"
- (Me: Vera, will you throw this away?) "oh yea, of course!"
-Mom, see I happy. I not sad. I not two happy mom (holding up 2 fingers), I one percent happy.
- She hums while she eats....hopefully this stops soon. But today she was eating cereal (multigrain cheerios with cut up bananas and fresh maple syrup drizzled) and at the end she yells "Daddy dis the best cereal ever!"
- After church Vera tells me, "mom, Jesus is the rock!"
I was eating lunch with Vera...and she says: "mom, my father says we have to go to the zoo, but dat takes a berry long time. And I dont fink I know how to get to da zoo because it is too far away. We need a suit case. That's what my father said."
