Walking!

I am happy to say that Kaden is FINALLY walking!!  They say not to worry as long as your baby walks by 18 months.  Well, Kaden decided to push the limits and start walking the week he turned 18 months.  Nothing like waiting until the last minute ;)  Madison had just turned 14 months when she started to walk so this seemed delayed to us.  Part of his "delay" may be due to his hips.  He is now in a brace at night and will wear it for 6 months to correct the angles of his legs.  The hope is that Kaden won't have any of problems  that Todd does with his hips.  Kaden has done amazingly well in his brace and didn't even cry the first night wearing it. He is such a good kid.
At Kaden's 18 month appointment this week he measured in at 33.5 inch - 80% height and 24 lb 10 oz - 30% weight.  He is still our tall and skinny guy.
Kaden is an early talker.  I love hearing all the words he can parrot.  I know having an older sister helps him talk sooner.  Madison is a good teacher.  Even with all the words his can say, he has decided that yelling really loud is the best way to get our attention.  It's hard to compete for mom and dad's attention when you live with Madison :)
Kaden, we've loved watching you grow these past 18 months and can't wait to see what God has planned for you!
