Beware...I am getting a little sentimental on you guys.

Since this blog is kind of a documentary for me and Justin on Cade's babyhood, I figured that I would type my top ten Cade favorites so that when he is a teenager and is too cool for his parents, we can look back on this and smile and remember the sweet little baby.

Here we go........

1. I love how Cade will make really big noises sometimes and then stop and look at me with those big eyes like he is asking....where the heck did that come from?

2. I love how I can hold Cade to a mirror and he looks at himself and smiles and coos. I hope that he will always love what he sees in the mirror and have a huge self esteem.

3. I love how Cade has started to talk (babble) to himself while he is in his carseat. He will start the moment we pull out of the driveway and continue until we get there. Some of you may know that this has been a welcome change to the continuous screaming that was the carseat routine not too long ago.

4. I love when we put him in his Baby Einstein with toys all attached and he stares so intensely at the dog in his book. He holds on to it and is wide eyed for at least ten minutes. I don't know why this facinates him but it is too cute....see picture below.

5. I love how he smiles when I sing. Poor guy, he doesn't know that I could easily be the most tone deaf, worst singer in the entire world (thanks mom), but to him, I am awesome.

6. I love how he sleeps with his mouth wide open, curled up in a little ball with his ankles crossed.....every night.

7. I love that after he sneezes, he makes this huge sigh of relief sound like it took sooo much out of him.

8. I love when I feed him and he holds my finger with his entire hand. I will have to get a picture of this.

9. I love how Cade has figured out how to see my reflection from his mirror in the back seat of the car. He will give me the biggest smile. This could be dangerous as I love to talk to him and look at his expressions.

10. I absolutely love how happy this little guy is in the mornings! Whether he wakes up at 3:30, 4:30 or 5:30, he is smiling ear to ear. It makes every day start off so great. And for those of you that know me, know that I have NEVER been a morning person....some may say that I can be a little monster if woken up too early, but somehow this little guy's smile makes the need to sleep in disappear.

Justin and I went to AU this past weekend and left little Cade to spend the night with my parents. We missed him soooooo much!!! It is making us re-think our Mexico trip in a few months! If one night was hard, how are we going to be able to make it four!! Though we absolutely could not wait to get home, we had an amazing time (yes, even Justin had fun in Auburn). We got to spend time with some great friends that I don't get to see near enough and we even got to go to the game!! I got the picture below on my cell phone half way through the game and it just made me melt!!! How cute is he????(his grand-daddy is pretty cute too). He is the happiest baby ever and the AU shaker was a nice touch. War Eagle!

I had to post this picture. Cade has become amazed with the puppy dog picture on his Baby Einstein. Too cute!












Justin and I took Cade to the pool for the first time last week. Justin was too cute with Cade in the water. Cade was cracking us up. Every time that his toes would touch the water, he would make a huge gasping noise like the water was just taking his breath away. He really seemed to enjoy it and didn't cry once. I will post pics soon.

Where has the time gone???

Can you believe my little guy is almost three months old already??? It seems like just yesterday that he was in the NICU. It is amazing how much your life, priorities and perspectives can change in such a short time. I knew that when Justin and I decided we were ready to be parents, it would be an awesome adventure but I could never imagined how special it would really be.








1st Bama Game

This is a picture of Cade's first Bama game experience. Seems that Bama entertains him as much as it does me....WAR EAGLE!!
