14 months

Kaden is 14 months now.  It seems hard to believe.  He's looking less and less like a baby and more and more like a little boy.
He's been working hard to cut his third tooth for a few days and it finally broke through today.  He found it quite handy when biting into his banana this morning.  
He is still a man of few words, but certainly has a couple...his favorite being ball.  He loves playing ball, talking about balls- really everything about them.  He could live a very happy existence if he had to get rid of all but one toy- as long as his one could be a ball.  He's got quite an arm on him too! 
Other words he says: "Maa-ee" "Daa-ee" "Bub" "Beby" and "MAAA!" (Mommy, Daddy, Cup, Baby and I think the MAA is Mackinna- he usually yells it at her with quite a tone.)  For most everything else he points and uses his second favorite word, "ehh, ehh, ehh."
He's mastered turning and going feet first to slide off the bed, couch and the two stairs into our bedroom, so we are happy for his head.  His walk is so fast now, it's approaching run speed and its getting harder and harder to keep up.
He loves bringing his sister to school and always wants to get down and play with the big kids.  He points and yells as we pass the school playground and makes it pretty hard for me to get by without stopping to let him play.
He makes monster noises when asked, "what does a monster say?"  He makes those same noises for cow, goat, sheep, etc.  When we tell him something is hot he starts blowing- even if he's clear across the room from the hot item.  He's so darn cute.
Kaden is obsessed with Mark's hat and if he sees one around, insists that he put it on, even if he's already wearing one.  He has a similar policy when it comes to shoes.  If he notices we are in our bare feet and can locate our shoes, he will carry them over and insist that we put them on.  
We are in the process of moving him up to size 24 months clothes and are thinking we may need to trim his mullet again.  It seems his hair in the back grows a lot faster than the stuff on top and in the front!
Its strange to think Kaden is nearly the age Mackinna was when we moved back here.

He really is starting to look like a little boy and is getting so handsome. I can't believe he's heading into 24-month clothing already. It still seems unreal to me that Brady will be that big someday.
