9 Months and more...

So Cade is 9 months! Time sure does fly by. He is a pretty amazing kid. Turns out he is tall and skinny (75% and 40%). I don't know where he gets that from. He crawls at the speed of light and pulls himself up to standing where every he can. He loves to talk and play. He still loves books, his sippy cups, and any sort of electronic gadget. He has started to let go of things and stand for a few seconds. He loves water, grass, rocks, and wood chips (especially when he can get them into his mouth). He will laugh after we laugh and he will give kisses and wrestle with us. He really is a joy to have in our home!

Look how big he is getting! Cuddling his night time blanket! At the zoo! He might have people watched more than watching the animals. Matching for church! (I made Cade's tie!)Around Easter we had late 6 month pictures taken of Cade. Thanks Kelsey!

Play time

Cade loves to play and is now all over the place. He can crawl now and boy is he good at it. He went from backwards to forwards on all fours in a matter of days. The funny thing is he would rather stand up and walk. He really is our bundle of joy.

Cade loves toys. It is really fun to watch him learn what to do with the different toys and where certain pieces go. He has figured out what buttons to push to make toys do what he wants.He has also discovered the joys of wheels and things that spin.

Here he is crawling to reach the mail. He sure loves the advertisements.And finally we got some sun and 70 degree weather. So we went down to the little beach/ lake we have around here. Cade loved the cold water and sand.

3 down eternity to go!

Happy Anniversary!

From first meeting.

To the time we decided we wanted to spend eternity together. To actually committing to spend eternity together.
And all the amazing things we have done together!

And all the amazing adventures to come! I love you with my whole heart and am so lucky you picked me!

Tulips

This last week we went to the Tulip festival near us. It was kind of a drive but the flowers were beautiful!

Backing up... BEEP...BEEP...

Cade hit the 8 month mark. He is so fun! He is constantly trying to move and to get into things. He still perfers to stand and walk above anything else. He eats with us at the table and loves cheerios and banana puffs more than any other food. He is starting to like drinking water a bit more. He loves to talk and says Dada all the time and it seems he only gets the mmm sound out when he is whining and wants/ needs something. Go figure!

I can't believe how big my baby is getting.

So Cade is always trying to crawl and stand. The only problem is he still seems to really only get the grasp of going backwards, so lately he gets stuck under everything.

Here he is stuck under the couch and not very happy about it.

Once again. Mamama!

I set him on the ground to make dinner and this is what I found a little later. He wasn't too happy till he found the rug.

On another note I took Cade swimming for the first time. Don't worry it was a heated indoor pool. Seriously, I think the water was warmer than his bath water. Here he is waiting to leave for the pool.


We went with Layne and her two cute girls Aniston and Lilly.

Cade is constantly picking up books. He loves to turn the pages and open and shut them.And finally Cade has enough hair to wake up with bed head and it is so cute! I sure love this baby boy!

Happy Late Easter

So on Easter all the grandbabies on my side were in Texas, so we dressed them all up and got some cute pictures. But man was it hard getting all four babies to look at the camera.

Here is Ethan (4 months), Alivia (23 months), Kendall (2 months), Cade (7 months)
