Deep in the Heart of Texas

So Adam, Cade and I were able to go down to Texas to visit family. We got to do lots of fun things and enjoy the wonderful weather.

Here's Grandma with Ethan
Congrats Chad! We are so happy for you!

First tooth and smiles!

So I know this is a lot of pictures but with friends and family so far away I have to show how beautiful my baby boy is. He really is the sunshine of my day, especially here in rainy Seattle. His smile can brighten any room! This is how Cade sleeps most of the time. When he finally does sleep. See his foot on the wall?

We try to take Cade to the park but it is just so cold, thus we usually don't last long.

In the morning we have play time in Mom and Dad's bed.

So, he has a tooth. On his right side on the bottom. YEAH!

He still only scoots around but some how he already gets into everything. It always amazes me how long his arms are and how far he can reach.

SMILES! He is so animated and he really is the happiest boy 97% of the time!

Toys, jumper, shoes, and football

Cade is slowly becoming independent and can play with his toys all by himself at least for a little while. It makes me sad yet happy at the same time.

He really enjoys his exersaucer. He likes to listen to the sounds when he pulls the strings, eat the cellphone, and turn the pages on the book. But we have to watch out because he also likes to do his "buisness" in there. I guess it's the perfect squating position.

I can sit him next to a bucket of toys and he picks them out on by one. It's so cute.

We got a jumper for the doorway and it so fun to watch him jump. He has always loved to jump/ bounce.

When Cade was born my sister- inlaw got him these Pumas. They are adorable and of course were to big. So we tried them on for the first time recently. Still to big but oh so cute. We can't wait till they fit.

There are some Steeler lovers in my family. So my sister helped Cade join in on the celebration. Thanks Becca Cade loves it.

6 Months

My baby boy is 6 Months! He is 27"(70%) and 17lbs (45%). He is getting taller and skinnier. He is tons of fun! He likes to talk, play, jump, and read. He would rather stand and sit then be on his tummy. But he had learned how to move toward toys and are on the sides of him. He loves to wrinkle paper and really loves to open and shut books not to mention eat them. Well really he loves to eat everything. He loves to look, touch, and taste everything. He has such a fun personality. He loves to laugh and smile. You will almost always find him with a big grin. He has found his feet and very much enjoys them. He likes to straddle his legs and keep his feet in the air. Like a turtle that can't roll over.

Duck Tours and Eating Real Food

I know 2 posts in one day but there are just too many fun pictures to show. Here is Cade eating rice cereal for the first time. He liked it okay but likes it much more now.

Cade wanted to say Thank you to Bopo and Nona for the special mobile from France. He stares at it everynight and sometimes he just has to catch Mother Goose and her geese.

This is what Cade now bathes in. It Quacks. How fun is that. Thanks Aunt Becca for the idea. Sometimes we also us it as a chair so mom can get more done.

Adam likes to take Cade on Duck tours of our place. Literally!

Who needs a pony when you can have your own yellow ducky!

My Baby Boy!

I just couldn't help but post pictures of my adorable boy for all to see. He is so much fun and is usually all smiles! So when we put him to bed he likes to put his legs straight up and then turn to his left side. He almost always does this. So If you look at his hands that blanket right next to them actually has his legs in it resting on the wall.

Feeding the ducks with our friends April and Gavin.

Pictures too CUTE not to post.

I wanted to enter this photo in Regis and Kellys beautiful baby contest but the rules said the child had to be 6 months by January and Cade doesn't hit 6 months till Feb.26 so all of you get to enjoy.

5 Months

So Cade is 5 months and so much fun. He is so cute and perfect. He is starting to move a bit and loves to sit and can do it all by himself. He is all smiles, makes new noises, and loves to move around especially in his crib. He loves to chew on things, his favorites are books and hands. And he loves his exersaucer.


Here he is at exactly 5 months





5 months and sitting like a pro.

My skinny boy.

He loves to stand and thinks he can do it by himself.
The park

The weather has been cold but the sun has been shining. So we have made effort to go to parks and be outside. Here is Cade and his friend Gavin. Aren't they the cutest boys!

I promise he loved the swings I think he just got a bit cold.
Here's a smile.
