milestones

I need to take a post to make some official record of Cadence's milestones--before I really forget when they happened!

We've been battling teething for the past few weeks, and I think we're finally through it all, as Cadence has actually slept 10-11 hours straight the past 4 nights!  I'd say about 2 weeks ago her first top tooth popped through, quickly followed by the second.  She also took a few steps by herself on June 17, but only because I tricked her into doing it.  She still loves to walk around holding onto my finger, and if that's not available, she will find a path around the house where there is something to hold onto in order to get around. 

The past week we've had a French exchange student stay with us, and Cadence really likes entertaining her.  Her name is Sophie and she will be with us for one more week, then head back to France.  We hadn't planned on hosting anyone, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!

Once she leaves we only have James for a couple more days, and then he's off to Atlanta for a week, and when he comes back we head to KC/IA/Chicago for our vacation!
