Just cute as a button

Cadence is just so incredibly eddible - I could just eat her up, especially when she gives me her lop-sided grin ( then she turns turns to the one side in total coyness). As for today, she is in grave danger of being eaten alive, as she is wearing leggings that have the pattern of girly jeans on then and then a pink long sleave top to finish it off - must not forget to take a photo when she wakes.

Here are a few things that she is now doing:
* Enjoys watching TV, sometimes freakishly turning her body so she can see it
* Holds her own hands, even likes sucking on them
* If I hold a toy with in her reach she reaches out to grab it, but once her hand is out of her sight she lets it go - following th saying 'out of sight out of mind'
* Likes playing pee-a-boo with mommy, but let anyone else try and the bottom lip turns under
* Kicks with great ethusiasim when lying on her changing station, with out nappy on (as is makes a 'doof-doof' sound
* While under her play-gym, she gently bats at the toys and at times even makes coughing sound, I pusume out of frustration, when she can't brind them to her mouth.
* When she wakes and I get her into the feeding position she goes all stif in anticipation - even grabing and holding the boob in place (quite tender of me, might I add).

On the 03/07, the plunket nurse did a visit and Cady weighed 5.06kg (11 lb 2oz) and was 58cm long. So she falls in the 25% for girls, which mean she is a petite little thing - at this stage Maddy was in the 50% for girls. Then again there was a 350g and 4cm difference at birth, Madison being the bigger.

It amazes me to think that around about this time last year I fell pregnant with Cadence and now we can't imagine our lives with out her. It is quite tiring and lonely at times, for me, with two under two, but at the same times the rewards far out weigh all that. It excites me to think of all the wonderful stages I still can look forward to having with her. Greg, Madison and I really love little Cady so very much; Greg and I finally feel complete as a couple, with out two beautiful girls adding so much to 'us'.
