Virginia - Day 4

Just hung around today. It was nice to have to not do anything. We all took naps this afternoon. Seemed to do us all well. 

We decided to take Cade off stage 3 foods as he did not like ANY of them. He was doing a repeat of the macaroni movie. It was great entertainment, but really did not accomplish anything. We decided to keep breakfast as a stage 3 since he is a breakfast man. He always wakes up so happy in the mornings and he will finish an entire jar. We are switching the rest of the meals back to stage 2. However, I am adding in more food still. I am now mixing two tablespoons of oatmeal with apple juice. He does seem to still be hungry after one jar of food. But wont eat an entire other jar. So I figure this is one way to get him more food and not waste any.

Cade is now able to hold onto someone's fingers and get one leg underneath him and pull himself up with no help. He still isn’t talented enough to hold onto a couch or chair (I am counting my blessings for that one), but it seems soon he will be pulling himself up all by himself.

This afternoon we did take a little drive down to the older section of Richmond. They were trying to show me a certain area of old houses, but there was a watermelon festival going on and all the streets were closed. I was able to see Monument Road, where all the monuments of the civil war generals are. It was nice to see some history. I am really excited about going back to see more homes. They are just enormous and so grand. I think John would really like to see them. I hope I can take some pictures for him. 

i have decided to go to the beach on Thursday. I want to try to spend as much time with my family as possible. I can not wait to go back. Cade loves the pool so much and I enjoy seeing how happy he is when he is in it. My aunt even talked my uncle and my cousin into watching Cade if we want to go to the beach. 

Hopefully tomorrow I will receive my package from John with all the cords in it. I have a few pictures to post. I will probably post them with the posts they go with. So you might have to scroll down a bit to check them out. They are very cute though. I mean why wouldn't they be?!

Also, as you can tell, I am in the middle of updating and changing the way my blog looks. I am just not completely happy with it. So tell me what you think as things change.
