Animal noises

Cayden has learned so many words and sounds in the last month. He can recognize when a truck is driving by and says "truck", a motorcycle and says "cycle", and busses- all without being able to see the vehicle. He loves dump trucks, bulldozers, back hoes, and front loaders too. We got a book from a friend of ours that he sits and reads all the time and then just recently there was a construction project less than a block from our house that we have been to visit. One day we walked there in our hats, mittens, and winter jackets and he sat in my lap for at least 20 minutes watching them at work. It was pretty awesome. Here are a few sounds that he knows- words to follow in a day or too... you will all be amazed!

Mia's Baptism

Papa John wondering just how much cake Cayden can eat?! In both pictures I took Cayden did not take his eyes off the cake on Papa's plate!

Uncle Rob and Johnny

He's not my baby anymore...

We bought trucks before church and Cayden showed Great Grandpa Burm how well they work on the back of the pews. I just realized I have NO pictures of Mia and she was the reason for the day! Oops.

Great Grandpa Burm

Cayden checking out the boats using Great Grandpa as a stepping stool!

Abby and Nama

These pictures were taken within the week of the following "Fall" pictures. Shorts/short sleeves and then winter hats and mittens... We love Superior!

Fall is here...

Not only are we busy getting ready for Baby Girl Manion we are also getting ready for fall...

Mommy's Relaxing vacation

I took one final hurrah vacation by myself over the Labor Day weekend (how appropriate?) before we have Baby Manion #2. I went and stayed with Andi, Matt, and the Kids. While I was gone Cayden played for 5 days with his Daddy! They went to the aquarium, the cabin, and some super secret places they only know! Here are some highlights...

Big boy words...

In the last month Cayden has been talking up a storm. Uncle Matt asked if we had any of it on camera which made me realize we didn't. Here's a start... I will update this again because I wasn't ready for him to cooperate as much as he did and couldn't think of the words fast enough!

Also, notice the new shirt- That's an Auntie Andi score!!!
