2 month checkup


Sweet baby Kade had his 2 month doctor's appointment today..... It was VERY tough on mommy and daddy. Kade did great!! Dr. says he is growing PERFECTLY and everything is great. We're only in the 10th percentile weighing in at 10 lbs :( which for some reason makes me kinda sad. The doctor assures us that this doesn't mean he's going to be a "little guy" forever, it's just he was born little and he's got some catching up to do. We woke up this morning, got Kade bathed and ready, then headed to the doctor to meet up with daddy. Kade slept the whole way there and woke up in a great mood (as he usually does, see below).... too bad the good mood didn't last long. We got our shots. Kade only cried for a couple seconds and then I was able to calm him down. Mommy cried for longer, and I'm pretty sure daddy teared up as well even though I know he'd kill me for writing that. Ugh!! I hate kade being in pain!!! I want to fix it!!! But all in all it went great and he's been sleeping most of the day in his favorite swing. Kade's doing everything he's supposed to be doing and I'm pretty sure he's a genius. :) Mommy and Daddy on the other hand have some work to do. Doctor says we're supposed to leave Kade in his room at 8pm and not go back until 6 in the morning..... YEAH RIGHT! He says we can either be a shuttle service or a chauffer. Congratulations Kade, your parents are chauffers. You win!! haha.






Here are a few more dorky Halloween pics :). I know he's not always going to wear the cutesy stuff I want him to, so I might as well do it now. I'm constantly kissing those sweet cheeks. I just can't get enough of him..... He can't get enough either as you can tell. haha! Below is another one of my favs. Of course, again, daddy got this sweet smile. Kade LOVES mornings and wakes up in such a good mood. Definitely doesn't get that from me!! but he does put me in a good mood now. How could you not be with this sweet face??!!!

Smile

Kade started smiling on October 12th.... The real smiles. And when he does it, everything in the world is right. I wish I could say I'm the one getting all these great smiles, but the truth is Daddy is really the one who is raking them in! It's so so sweet. They have some pretty special time together in the mornings. Shane woke me up this morning and shows this sweet picture to me. It's now my screensaver, posted on facebook, and I ordered a print online. I just can't get enough of him!! I'm going back to work on Monday after 8 great weeks off, so today I just stared at this picture and cried. Next week is going to be so tough, but at least I'm only working 4 days instead of 5. I guess that's a little better. Please pray for me next week!!

Kade's Birth Announcements


Announcements are finally here. I LOVE them! It was so hard for me to pick a favorite picture of him, so I used 3 :). I know I always say it, and I'm his mommy and all...... But he is just the cutest thing I've ever seen!!!!!!I've never been more proud in my life. He is just amazing! I already know I will be one of those crazy moms who cheers the loudest at the games and sits front row just to be closer to him. Poor Kade!
I will ALWAYS be his #1 fan.

Mommy & Daddy date night- ALL NIGHT!

Thanks to Mimi & MawMaw, Shane and I had our first date night... and we stayed out all night long.!! We weren't quite the party animals it sounds like though. haha. We went to eat at Michael's (which I highly recommend now, btw). We ate dinner, had a glass of wine and TALKED. It was so nice to spend some time with my hubby. Everything has been all about Kade (but trust me, I'm still super obsessed with my sweet lil guy) and we hadnt had a chance to spend quality married time together. I missed him!! We had such a good time. Then we met up with a friend for a drink and then off to our hotel and spent the whole night together... Got a whole nightt's rest and had breakfast in bed the next morning. Amazing!!!! Here's a pic of the whole fam right before we were off. Best date night and I'm just so thankful for my perfect husband. So in love!!!!

Happy October 1st

So, he's not quite as pumped as I am about it being "Halloween month" but it's officially ok to start wearing all our cute costumes. And I'm exctied to get started!! Mimi and GiGi really took care of our little guy, so there will be a lot more of these photo shoots. Hopefully I'll be able to catch a smile. It melts my heart when he does it :)
