Cade's New Lion

A few pics of Cade riding on his new lion :) He can push it too but he prefers that we push him while he rides. Lazy boy, haha.







And here he is pushing... kinda... he'd rather stand there and pet the lion's head.


Thank you Carly! Cade LOVES his new lion!!!

Looking Back: COMING SOON!

You may have noticed the BIG COUNTDOWN on the sidebar of the blog... counting down to Cade's 1st birthday. It's so bittersweet. A 1st birthday is such a big deal, but we are having a really hard time believing that he is getting ready to turn ONE! This year has flown by. Where did my tiny baby go?

Up until his 1st birthday, I will be looking back at the past year, month by month, so stay tuned for that!

Hope everyone has a safe & warm week!

And Happy Groundhog's Day!

Cade's 1st BIG Snow!

We've had snow this winter, but nothing like what we got last night! So we thought we'd bundle the baby up & take him outside for a few minutes... and that's about all he lasted... a few minutes. His mittens wouldn't stay on so the minute his hand touched the cold stuff, he was D-O-N-E. LOL

And I know it just looks like he has on a sleeper, but that's actually a pair of PJs & 2 sleepers, one of which is a Carter's sleeper, and I am just going to go ahead and give kudos to Carters because I swear it is waterproof. He sat in the snow & it didn't even absorb into his monkey sleeper!

Getting ready to go outside... he is probably wondering what in the world I'm doing to him, haha.


Me & Cade in the snow :)


Daddy & Cade


He couldn't sit up on his own because he had on so many layers.


And he wasn't crazy about it touching his hands.


LOL


I have a feeling that next winter will be a blast! Snowmen... sledding... we will ALL need snowsuits & boots next year! :)

Some Sunday Pics...

Just a few pics from our day!

Standing... it looks like he's holding on, but he's actually holding onto a hairbrush... and standing by himself! He does this when he's not paying attention :)


So cute all dressed for church!


Who knew a hairbrush could be so entertaining?!?! And must feel nice on the gums!


Cade saw his little cousin, Brady today.


I thought these pics were too funny... the only way to get them to be this still is to turn on cartoons.

Our Super Baby...

Cade had his 9 Month Well Baby Exam today (yeah, even though he's 10 months, LOL, just a little late). Everything went great! We saw a new doctor today and Cade did great with him, smiled & talked & showed off a lot.

He is 20 pounds 5 ounces and 30 inches long!

The BEST part about today... NO SHOTS!!! :)

Still having trouble with his eczema but we're trying some new things & hoping to get it cleared up.

We talked about separation anxiety & stranger anxiety at this age... separation anxiety, I can already see in him. Stranger anxiety... so far he's never met a stranger!

We talked about making the switch from formula to milk at 1. Turning his carseat around at 1. ONE? Seems like he was just born yesterday!

Here are a few pictures from today... Cade in his Superman PJs. Derek had a pair of PJs like this when he was a kiddo :) It even has a little cape in the back.

LOTS of pics!!!

We had to reschedule Cade's checkup today... his doctor wasn't back from her rounds at the hospital... so instead of waiting X hours (who ever knows how long it will be?) we rescheduled. So new appointment on Friday.

I've been snapping away with my camera, my little cutie just LOVES being mobile! He's into everything! I love it though. I love to watch him explore & discover new things... and it's so funny to see him take off after the cats. Their days of ruling this house are over! :)

Now for LOTS of pics!

I was bringing groceries into the house on Monday afternoon... I came into the living room & couldn't find Cade... THIS is where he was! Watching cartoons.


Early this morning... I wish I were so happy to get up in the mornings!






(love this one)


Trying out his new carseat! I think he loves it!


Crawling to momma.


Opps, there's Josie!


Just a little closer...


Look mom, I found a box!


Baby in the box!


He insists on sitting on this vent... I don't know why...


Love that little butt, LOL


And now... lots of closeups & I realize that my son sticks his tongue out 90 percent of the time!










Almost got a handfull of BRODIE!


Thanks for looking!

In case you missed the local news yesterday...

HAHA...

CADE IS 10 MONTHS OLD!

As of yesterday, January the 10th, he is 10 months old.
No more single digit months for my little man!

The saddest part... no pictures. Can you believe it? I feel like such a bad momma. I didn't even get my camera out once this weekend! So I promise to take pictures double time this week... promise.

He has his "9 month" well baby checkup on Tuesday, so I'll be excited to report all of his stats... stay tuned for that!
