{Love} Six Months!

Today we celebrate your 1/2 birthday! 

Oh what a perfect adventure this 6 months has been. It is hard to think about the days before you were here. I LOVE that we get to spend our days together: learning & making the most memorable adventures in life each and every day. You are such a happy baby - your giggle & smile mean the world to us! Happy 6 months Baby Cade. 

{Love} Five Months!

February 5th 2012 - What a Day!

Today we celebrate 5 months with you, your Great Grandma Shirley's 90th Birthday, and your Aunt Megan and Uncle Wayne's 1 Year Wedding Anniversary. It is also Superbowl Sunday, one of your Dad's favorite days in sports. 

At five months of age you are very active. You love to roll over - back to front & back to front, you love your books - you love to listen and touch the pages in your books,  you love to "talk" to us, your giggle makes me so happy. This month we will be starting solid foods with you - this will be a fun adventure! 

We love you.

Baby Shower For Our Little Man

While looking at Pintrest tonight (which I  am obsessed with) I realized that I never shared images from the baby shower that my very best girlfriends hosted for our little man. These images are from Heather, one of the three that hosted the shower. It was the perfect day with no detail spared by these amazingly

talented women! I love you Heather, Jen and Rebecca!

Cade's First Snow Day

I could not be more excited about the snow that we are having, I love the snow. I find myself waking up at night and peering out the window to see if the snow has started back up. The forecast tells us that we have two more days of snow coming our way - yay!

Cade's First Igloo 

We had a yummy cocoa warm up half way through the igloo build.

 The Igloo - a few finishing touches are left to do - we ran out of light today 

My sister and brother in law came over for dinner and we made breakfast for dinner - one of our favorite dinners growing up. Our feast tonight: scrambled eggs with herbs, blueberry pancakes topped with strawberries & whipped cream or maple syrup, sausage, bacon and orange juice. 

We followed up dinner with a game of Farkle - a really fun dice game! 

Photo Shoot with Alecia Silva of The Portrait Place Photography

Cade had the opportunity to be a part of a photo shoot with the very talented newborn photographer, Alecia Silva of The Portrait Place Photography.   She was shooting an educational DVD on newborn photography for PhotoVision.  It was such a great experience and an eye opener to see what talent you need to photograph newborns. Cade was comfy because her studio was 90 degrees.

These images very taken in September when Cade was 18 days old. 

{Love} Four Months!

Happy 4 Months Baby Cade!

You are becoming quite the little man.

You love all your board books, dancing to music with mama, bath time, and hearing the sounds that you can make.

We love you more and more everyday! 

Cade meets Santa

Cade loved Santa

Merry First Christmas Baby Cade!

The first weekend in December we took Cade to the annual Tacoma Lawn and Tennis Club Santa Pictures & Pancake Breakfast at the tennis club. It was the perfect setting for this first Santa meeting - there was no line, so upon arrival we got right in to get our pictures done. They had a ton of fun projects for the kids - tennis ball ornaments, cookie decorating, popsicle stick ornaments and many more. I made Cade a tennis ball ornament - I am using this as his "First Christmas" ornament. I was the only adult at this table making these with the kids - I was laughing at myself but had fun doing it.
