I don't know if I have mentioned this in other posts but my little Kaiden is really smart. He amazes me everyday with all of the things he can already do.
For instance,
1. He can mimick what you do.
2. He has learned how to put and pull things out of objects.
3. He has been learning new syllables and we are slowly teaching him how to put them together as words. We taught him how to say Bye Bye last week and wave his hand. it is the cutest thing.
4. He knows the word "No" and will look at you when you say it, stop, and then turn around and try to go get the object anyway.
and finally my favorite one is
He LOVES his Mommy and Daddy. My baby is 100% in love with our family. He is the absolute perfect fit and I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful baby.
God really knows what is best!!!

I Feel Lucky
What can I say other than I feel like the luckiest person in the world. It has been 5 weeks since Kaiden has been home and he is doing so wonderful. He is still VERY attached to me, but he is also becoming extremely attached to his Daddy who he loves so much and also loves to play with. He is so social and absolutely LOVES to play with other children. He will play for hours with my nieces and nephews as long as he can still see me in the room. He really cracks me up with how he watches out of the corner of his eye constantly to make sure I haven't left the room.
We had our first post-placement visit on Saturday and everything went great. Our SW asked if we thought he was regressing. I know the look on my face was, "Are you crazy?", but we talked through all the 10 month developmental skills. Now, Kaiden will be 10 months in a week and can already do everything on the list plus some on the 11 month list. I am such a proud Mama!!
The only thing I would definitely prepare other first time moms like I am to get ready for is teething. When Kaiden got home, he had 6 teeth. He cut two more teeth simultaneously and didn't really have a problem. But now we are on the first molars. I feel so bad for him. His drooling kicked up about 300% and looks like he is just slobbering out his mouth constantly. We have to change his outfit at least twice even with a bib. He is also in such terrible pain and tries to bite on EVERYTHING to make himself feel better. Unfortunately, that also includes me. Yesterday, my sweet boy actually drew blood with a bite. I am slowly working on putting his pacifier in his mouth when he tries to bite and telling him "No Bite" in a firm voice. I will blog later and let everyone know how this went. Hopefully, it will go well.
Well, my baby boy is starting to wake up from his nap so I will have to blog more later. I also want to congratulate my bloggy friend Joanna and getting sent to the P3 Lounge. Hopefully it won't be to much longer until your sweet Gabe is home.
