First step!!!

Dade took his first steps today. I am so excited but really scared at the same time. Dade was standing next to Drew holding onto his legs and then he let go. He stood there for a few seconds then took about 2 or 3 steps to get to me. We were so excited and started clapping for him. He got a huge smile on his face. We could tell he was very proud of himself. We got him to do it about 8 more times, but he will only walk if we are trying to get him to do it. He is going to be walking all by himself very soon. I am not sure if I should be more happy or scared about that.

My parents are coming to visit tomorrow. They will be here for a week. I am so excited to see them. We haven't seen them for almost 8 months, when Dade was 3 months old. The day after they go home we will be moving into a 2 bedroom apartment. Its in our same court just the building over. Then the weekend after we move Dade will be turning 1. I hope time slows down, because it is going by way too fast for me.

My little booger

Dade is a little booger. When Drew and I got out of the shower this morning I heard Landen say "Ah! Dade! My goodness!" in his most dramatic way. So I knew Dade was doing something he wasn't supposed to. When I went to check on him Dade was sitting on top of the end table in the living room with some stuff thrown on the floor, my pictures knocked over, and my phone charger plug in his mouth. He is already more of a handful than Landen was. He gets into everything. When he finds something he wants, like the lamps or plugs, there is no stopping him from getting it. No matter how many times you take Dade away or try to entertain him with something else, he still keeps going back. And he sure knows how to throw a fit. If you take something away from him or make him mad he throws his head in his lap and starts screaming and crying. I think we spoiled him for way too long. Now we are trying to be more strict with him. He is a brat too. He likes to hit people in the face. When he does that I will take his hands, tell him to be soft, then show him how to be soft by rubbing the face nicely. Then he will get mad and show you how he does soft and hits you in the face again. He does some pretty funny things though too, and can be a sweetheart, sometimes. Landen and Dade still get along so well. Dade will do something to make Landen laugh then Dade will start laughing too. As long as Landen keeps laughing Dade will keep going and laugh with him. I have a video of Landen and Dade spinning on the floor. Dade does this all the time.
