Cade Lately:

CAUTION: LOTS O PICTURES.

Call me immature, but I was always real passionate about the fact that books with pictures were way more fun back in the day and the theory still stands.

Anyway, I need to update more often so I don't get so behind that it turns into a 'neglect my child to update the blog' situation. We all have to sacrifice Cader and you drew the short stick today:)

So here's an update on my favorite little punkin this halloween season:

He STILL spits up. I've given up caring whether he looks cute in his outfit.

His big baby blues are still awesome.

He loves to play in the car...I feel like he's too little to care, but it's really obvious he knows its business when he gets to come in the front seat. Super cute.

He seriously melts me. Those eyes and his sweet demeanor make me feel joy I've never felt before. One of my favorite movies is 'Hope Floats' and there is a quote I think of every time I feel the motherly joy you only understand when you have one of your own. (Though being an auntie came real close) A sweet old grandma tells her cute granddaughter every time she feels overjoyed that her "cup runneth over", meaning she has so much joy it feels like its overflowing. Though I always liked how she used the phrase it all the sudden made total sense the first time I saw Cade. I feel it every time he smiles, cries, wakes up from his nap with a smile and especially when he does something new. Being a Mom is hard to describe in words sometimes because most of them seem inadequate, but those few she uses covers most of the bases for me.

I love that booty.

LADIES & GENTLEMEN THE MULLET IS NO LONGER:

As seen here with cousin Abs,

Driving,

& Face planting, obviously due to the weight on the back of his head. the mullet was everywhere.

The mullet will actually not be missed:)

He has changed so much, going from this worm-baby-gym apparatus he was really into for the summertime...

To his exer-saucer which was the best purchase I've made yet, next to binkies & breastpads of course.
To his Bumbo...

Makin' salsa in the bumbo...

Cade Loves His DADDY. He likes to make sure getting his homework done is easy for him...

He is a recent convert to the Carter Family club of Giants Fanaticism. He's watched all the games with his dad just like this: ( If you have been under a rock somewhere and haven't heard, they are goin' to the WORLD SERIES and I like to think it because Cade wore his supportive giants gear all week.)

He got all tuckered out by the last game & got a little too comfy...

Lastly, I am in SHOCK! Cade is officially sitting up and has been since he just turned 5 months old, so a week ago or so. WHAT?! Do babies sit up this early? One day my sweet cousins were visiting and I sat him up to be with cousin Keagan and he stayed there like, no thanks Mom, I got it. It's been smooth sailing since then, minus a few head bonks and face plants. I still don't believe it.

Is it evil I think this pic is hilarious?

Oh, where did the time go? Oh gosh I'm all misty-eyed. Makes sense.

My cup runneth over.
