Summertime!

Here's what we've been up too. Lots of playing outside and lots of trying to keep cool!

6 Months

Last week Cade turned 6 months old. It's crazy to think we are already half way to his first birthday!! He has changed so much in such a brief period. When I think of him, the first thing that comes to mind is his huge smile. I love going into his room when he first awakes because he gets so excited. Sometimes I let Rylee sneak in first and I love hearing him squealing and giggling the moment he sees her. Cade is just a few ounces short of 18 lbs & quite tall for his age. When I tell people his age, the frequent response is "well he's a big boy". He is in 9 month clothes and only one diaper size away from his big sister. He has two bottom teeth just about ready to break through the gums. He has tried a huge variety of foods so far including squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, peaches and pears. He refuses to eat rice cereal, so I mix it into all his foods instead. He sits by himself pretty well & gets better each & everyday. Here are some pics of the big guy. Trying very hard to look up at the TV This is the bassinet he slept in when he was born. I keep it downstairs because it's always been a great place to lie him when I need to do dishes or shoot out an email. He was SO excited when he figured out how to sit up in it. And, his very first ferris wheel ride (it was mandatory he had his own seat)

Movin'

That's not where I left him.

Craft Time

Im loving that Rylee is getting big enough to do crafts. Last weekend we painted and decorated a little heart shaped jewelry box. She quickly went from painting her box to painting her legs and nails.

Independence Day

The kids had an awesome Fourth of July. Here are some pictures from our celebration!
