Cadence’s comprehension has been increasing in leaps and bounds. It’s Amazing how much she understands and remembers now.

Uncle Chris taught Cadence how to say “butt” in a morning.

She says up when she wants to be picked up.

She shakes her head no when she’s done eating.

When I was doing animals, I said woof woof and she responded “ha ha” which comes right after woof in one of her books.

She knows to fake sneeze for her Chu book.

Cadence started doing a satisfied aah after she drinks.

And she walks! Cadence has stepped 12 steps y-day! She prefers to crawl still and only walks without realizing it.

She now says baby and hoho.

She acts out 5 little monkeys. (Touches her head and shakes her finger.)

Chinese voodoo as Adam calls it. She chose the dice that Mike provided!

The first year has gone so fast! Cadence changes so much day to day. She’s learning and growing so much!

She loves reading books and playing stinky feet and hat. She loves electronics, rice and chicken. And Daniel Tiger.

Thanks to everyone for all the love; as I’ve been saying, cadence is the second most loved baby after Prince George!

My coworker was telling me how his 14 month old daughter knows the word ball. Of course I didn’t gloat, though inside I was telling him how smart my baby Cadence is. She says bo (bottle), hi, bye, book, (h)at

knows:

Head
Stinky feet
One (lifts one finger)
Hat
Light
Up
Water
Fan
Pat (for patty cake)

I’m thankful that grandma Jane has taught Cadence so much. Jane has tried to teach Cadence new words every week. It’s amazing how much Cadence learns. It’s been so cool watching her develop; I can’t believe it’s been almost a year!

The Gendreaus go to the cemetery up the street for their walks. Grandma takes her at least once a day. Here’s a photo daddy took.

Cadence somehow takes up most of the bed; she always turns sideways.

Thanks Uncle for the hoodie!

Baby maniac likes cheese balls!

Gendreau outing to the park! Cadence loved the swing! Her sock sandal combo got panned on FB & twitter.

Adam also says when she says Da it means she wants to watch Daniel Tiger.

She also now likes to play patty cake (thought neither daddy or Auntie San know the words).
