It’s just over a week away from Caden’s second birthday. I can’t believe time has passed so quick, and I can’t believe how big he is getting! Each day he is becoming more of his own person, and we are truly enjoying getting to know him better!
As we approach his second birthday, he is beginning to understand a little more, and although he still only has about 4 words, he is learning to use them more, and he is becoming a better communicator.
As my belly grows (I’m now around 22 weeks along) he is still trying to figure out what the heck is happening to Mommy! This week we took a huge leap in his understanding that he has a Brother on the way. He now understands that somebody is in Mommy’s tummy. He has no idea why, and he certainly has no concept that a baby is on it’s way to live with Him, but he gets that a little person is in there.
Now he pats my tummy, and I ask him “Where is your Brother?”. Then he points to my tummy, lifts up my shirt, waves (he can’t say hi yet), then he says “He’s Stuck!” usually repeated by “stuck!” “out!” “he’s stuck!”. Then he will usually kiss my belly & walk away.
It’s SO cute! Okay, it’s NOT as cute when we are in public and he wants to “see” his brother so he
lifts my shirt, but it’s cute. I know we have a LONG way to go before he really gets it, and I’m sure there will be harder days, but for now I’m glad he’s showing interest, and expressing what he can. For now, I’m just enjoying every adorable moment of it
