Yummy Homemade Ice Cream

Father's Day must also be the official opening day for Homemade Ice Cream. I went to the store to get supplies and it looked like everyone had the same idea. Cain loved watching the machine go and sneeking pieces of ice out of it. It was really great to see him eat his first bowl after he woke up from nap. He constantly signed more and finally at the last bite the shivers got the best of him, he had goose bumps and his lips looked like they were turning blue, we quickly got outside to warm up. Cain had his ice cream plain but Chris and I had the ultimate dessert-a piece of strawberry pie with a scoop of ice cream and homemade carmel chocolate sauce on top. It was worth all the thousands of calories that was in it..

I Broke My March Resolution

I know, I know, I said I would blog once a week and it only happened once. In my defence, it drives me crazy to post pictures on blogspot because they never come out in the order I want them too and it takes me an hour to figure it out and by the end I am so irritated that I don't even want to look at my blog again.

Any who, not much has been going on here. Cain is really starting to love the outside and he cries if he has to come inside. He is also becoming a major Daddy's boy, he cries whenever he leaves and he is constantly begging for him to pick him up. He just stands at his feet and yells "UP" until Chris gives in (which isn't very long). The other day he got to hang out with Chris in the garage, he came back inside with a mouthful of miracle grow dirt.

Cain's New Talents

Cain's 1st Birthday Couldn't wait for Summer

Our favorite Smile

Daddy was being very silly

I have decided I need to blog more, all this new stuff is happening with Cain and I am terrible about writing it down so my March resolution is to blog weekly. Cain has done so much in the past month. While we were on vacation he learned to dance, now whenever music comes on the TV he sways back and forth, and everytime you sing his name he head waves. He also started taking a few steps and every day he just took more and more. He would not stand up on his own but once he pulled himself up using furniture or one of us he would start cruising from one thing to the other. Finally during the weekend of 20th I decided he was walking because he would crusing from all the way across the room. Now he only uses walls and furniture to pull himself up. This week he seems to be working on speed which I am kind of dreading, I liked having one foot in front of him. Staying at home has been a real blessing and what I love the most is knowing what he is communicating to me, I know what different grunts mean and some words. His favorite word is ball and dog. We have to look at the neighbors dog 20 times a day. He uses Mama and Dada but not nearly as often. Our newest thing we are working on is blowing kisses, he gets his hand to his mouth and says "mmmmm" but he will not send it to you, it is kind of like his peak-a-boo, he puts his hands over his ear and than spreads his arms out, he just needs a little practice.

1st Haircut and it was not pretty

So Cain got a haircut, I was waiting for it to get really cute but i never did, he looked like a news man from the 80's. My uncle Denny did it, he also cut my nephew Matt's hair around Thanksgiving and Matt did a wonderful job. Denny said that only 1 out of 20 act like Matt the others freak out, I should have known Cain would follow the majority. He freaked out but when it was all over he looked cute.

Cain and I

So I love comparison pictures. I am always looking at Cain and trying to see who he looks like. When he sleeps he looks like my dad, they both hang their mouth open off to the side. When he wakes up and first sees light he looks just like Chris, they both look mad at the world. Sometimes he will give you a sweet grin and you can see Chris's mom in his eyes. I wasn't really sure how much he looked like me until I got this picture in the mail from my aunt and it was kind of scary.

Long Time No Post

So everyday I think "oh I should go blog that" when Cain does something new or funny and than I don't get around to it and the fun has worn off and I forget what I was going to even blog about. The Holidays were fun but after seeing all the toys that other kids got his age, I feel like a horrible parent. We did not get him nearly enough, so this kid is going to get spoiled for his first birthday next month.
Other than his presents, he really enjoyed being around family and spending time with Chris and I. The family has been battling crud but that didn't stop us from enjoying our time together.

Even though Cain loves exploring the house he always stops and takes a break at our feet. He tries to climb up our legs and there has been a time or two that Chris and I have had our pajama pants pulled completely down.

This is one of the things Santa brought Cain, it converts to a push toy, and I thought it might help him walk more but he just enjoys opening the little hood and seeing what is inside.

You know this might drive people crazy to have their kids pull everything out of their cupboards but Chris and I actually like it. It keeps him entertained for a very long time, and he grabs out stuff that we forgot we had and needs to be tossed.

I love his cheeks
