Another month gone by!

Here I am another month later trying to update everyone! Sorry about that.. This has been one crazy month with all of the travel and all of the travel to come. But, a lot has happened as well.
First of all ... Caden went on his first real road trip. We went to CO to watch my Dad do his run. It was a very LONG trip and over all he did really well. He cried every now and then to get out of his car seat but that's to be expected.. right? :)
Secondly... Caden turned 2! Yep my little baby is more like a little boy now! He's growing up so fast. He's constantly saying new words and doing new things. He really does amaze me every day.

Just in case you don't know, here are the things that have come along with the age two:
1 whining (mommy constantly)
2 timid (he wont go into the fitness centers day care anymore)
3 More words (like names... such as Michael for Daddy and Heda for Mommy)
4 Only liking one type of food (pizzi aka Pizza)
5 Wanting to keep his pee and poo to himself (he wont sit on the potty anymore cause it's "his pee pee and his poo poo" - causing an interesting problem with potty training)
6 Telling Mommy to not talk ("Mommy no talk")
7 Hatred for Bugs ("Me Hate Bug" - don't ask me where he learned that word)
8 Wanting to watch a "specific" cartoon (wow wow wubzee, wubzee wubzee wow wow - very annoying cartoon)
9 Loss of hearing (well you know what I mean)

Just to explain a few for ya:

He had his 2 year appt a week ago.. And he's growing great!! Dr asked if he was talking.. Yep he is, I told the dr.. Only thing I can't figure out is how to keep him from calling my husband by his first name.. The Dr laughed, said that's cute and he should grow out of it. Meanwhile, Michael is getting irritated with it. So I have tried to start calling Michael "Daddy" in front of Caden to help solve this problem. So far, no such luck. I'll tell Caden.. go tell daddy bye bye ... Caden says, bye Michael! He sees Daddy's car and says, Michael Car! Daddy's at work... nope, Michaels at work. So we are working on that one!

The other day we were outside and there were a few bugs... I'm sitting next to him blowing "buddles" as he calls bubbles. And I hear him mummble something.. I said, what hon? He said, "me hate bugs" clear as day. WOW.... I don't like bugs but I dont think I have ever said I hate bugs. Not sure where that came from...?

OK so the story of his 2 year pics. Generally Caden is soo good when we go get pics taken. He's soo photogenic anyway :) but he really is most of the time good at it. So I go to JCP to get some taken cause I was impatient and I can tell as we are walking toward the studio that that day just wasn't a good day for pics. He wasn't listening (see #9) But, we also had issues with #1 and #2 that day. We get into JCP and there's when it went down hill and fast. They take him back and all he wants to do is play with this stupid car I let him bring in with him... Mistake #1 for me! Then they so aren't prepared either!! Wanting my crazy 2 year old to hold letters that spell out "I AM TWO"... Not happening.. Which is why I"m in the "TWO" pic with him. I'm pretty sure he ran out of the studio 4 times while we were taking pics. And let me tell you why!! It was because someone had a bright idea to make this room with windows and right out side to put a large display of TOYS!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, needless to say.. that was not a good day nor did we get great pics..!

So to today! It all started this morning... He woke up with a simi dry diaper... Which Holly had told me was a sign he was holding his pee at night! So I immidiately pick him up and say, we are going to sit on the potty.. He looks at me and says " no my pee pee, my diaper".. Refused to sit on the pot!! Seriously.. I'll have to read up on how to figure this one out!
Then later today I was taking Caden down to the pool and Stacey was in the car with me. We were just chatting away when from the back seat I hear "Mommy no talk"... I looked at Stacey and she looked at me and said... he just told you not to talk! WHAT??? Where did he learn that from?? I swear! He's 2 going on 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!
