Busy Weekend... as if they all aren't!

Ryan's birthday BBQ/Aggie game had many attendees "in spirit." Thanks to those who were able to join us in celebrating!


After the BBQ, we made a cameo at a Fall Party thrown by one of Ryan's coworkers, Anne. Cade's pumpkin costume is so cute. He even won the "BOO-tastic" ribbon for his age group!

A Trip to Colorado

Caden and I took advantage of Ryan's busy quarterly-review at CB&I and flew to Colorado. Cade enjoyed the airplane ride. He slept most of the way. Cade really enjoyed the other passengers who visited with him. We traveled to Uncle Lane and Samantha's apartment. It is such a cute place! Cade had so much fun hanging with Uncle Lane and Samantha.

So fun!

4 mos.

Cade is 4 months old, now. He has really discovered his vocal cords. He babbles all the time but his new attention getter is "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

He has been teething for a few weeks. We think this process could last quite a while. He seems to only get relief when he rubs his fingers across his swollen gums.

When Cade laughs, he squeals. If he is really pleased, he will cover his mouth with his hands and laugh. He is so funny!

Happy 28th Ry!

We celebrated Ryan's 28th birthday with dinner at The Melting Pot. It was a late night for the baby. However, Cade did well opening Ryan's presents! We love Daddy!

Birthday for Rachel

Rachel's birthday was so much fun! Wish we could have stayed for the rowdy part. Her husband Jacob rented a moon bounce. What a blast! Happy Birthday, Rachel!

3 mos. - So fun!

Well, month three of Caden's exciting life came and went much too quickly. People used to tell us, and still do, how fast he will grow and change. We didn't fully understand this until experiencing it for ourselves. He is consistently smiling through conversations. He is babbling and cooing all the time. Ryan and I know he is saying the most intelligent things - we just wish we knew his language! Within the last few weeks he has become increasingly aware of his hands. I will catch him almost holding or purposely grabbing onto something. Sometimes it looks as though Caden is saying his prayers! We always knew that Caden was strong. He held his head up three days after birth. His legs are weapon-like while kicking. He is occasionally turning over from tummy to back and back to tummy. We have been attending a Gymboree class during the week. He is quite the social butterfly, always watching the other babies in the class. We have started to introduce sign language to Cade, just for fun. We know that he cannot act it out, but will soon be able to understand a few signs. Life continues to fly by during these happy days!

While in Dallas we visited Dealy Plaza, the JFK museum. We also swam often in Aunt Bobbye and Lloyd's pool. The puppies had fun roaming new grounds.
