He's 6!

I have been waiting on his birthday post, because I wanted to put a baby pic on here too. Apparently the discs with all my pictures are lost, and I'm going to have to go burn them again. Anyway, you can see what he looks like now. He's an old soul, this one.


But full of mischief nonetheless. Cade, when he learned to walk, ran everywhere instead of walking, and he still does. He is not afraid to try anything (although he does get shy around grownups at first). He is a perfectionist -- truly. He has great desires to do everything right. He's very distractable, so he forgets a lot, but he always responds when you ask him to do something. He is not defiant at all. He can do flips on the trampoline and hand stands against the wall. He is an excellent reader and good at math. He is a good big brother. He is always willing to give things up to his younger brothers if they want something he has. He has a testimony and wants to do what's right. He has very sweet and tender feelings. He told me that sometimes he gets so excited that his eyes get watery -- like when you bear your testimony. He is all boy. He loves lightsabers, dart guns, legos, pizza, wrestling, making noise, Star Wars, Bionicles -- you get the idea. He's kind of afraid of dogs, but he wants one. I think he needs one. A dog is about the only thing that can keep up with my him. Look out world, because he's going to make his mark on you. Can't slow HIM down. Love you, buddy!

A first

What are you trying to show me, buddy? Smile big for me.

Bigger, smile bigger.
What's that in your hand?
Smile even bigger, dude.
Whatcha got in your hand?
Is that a tooth?
Why, yes, it is!
A very tiny tooth.
Where did it come from?

Oh, yep, there it was!

Cade's bottom tooth was so loose that he and Dad worked on it and got it right out about a week and a half ago. He lost the second one just about a week later. It felt pretty loose to him, so at lunch he just pulled it out. After that, Kellen kept trying to pull his teeth out too. He kept saying, "I can't." Yeah, no kidding, buddy. No more teeth-losing, please. Makenzie and Brandon each lost a tooth last week too. Poor tooth fairy. I hope the recession isn't giving her any trouble!
