Praise God! Caden spoke for the first time today. The file below is a 22 second file that I captured with my iRiver MP3 player/recorder. You can hear Caden say “Mama” a couple of times and them you will hear Riley trying to get him to say “Dada”. Sherry, Riley and I are all entertained by Caden’s new skills. I hope you enjoy!

MP3 of Caden saying Mama

One other cute thing Caden is doing is scooting while in a sitting position to get where he needs to go. Not that he need to go very far with Riley around. Riley keeps Caden stocked with toys most of the time. Caden sort of picks himself up by pushing on the floor while sitting and moves himself in the direction he wants to go. For some reason he is just refusing to crawl even though he regularly rolls over onto his tummy and pushes his torso off of the floor like he’s doing a push-up.

Tomorrow Caden will be 15 months old. Happy 1.25 Caden!!!
