Cade & Roscoe

Here is a little video of Cade taking Roscoe's toy away from him. Cade cracks himself up! Roscoe is very patient and tolerates it for now. Not sure how long that will last!

Merry Christmas!

And Happy New Year! I have not been very good about updating our blog...so I am going to skip Thanksgiving and get right to Christmas! Cade is almost nine months old now. I still can't believe it! We are having so much fun with him and this is by far my most favorite age. He has started saying ma-ma and da-da. He actually said ma-ma first, and I was so excited except now that he can say da-da he doesn't really say ma-ma anymore. Oh well, that's ok. He may not say it but he's definitely a ma-ma's boy! He loves to be held and wants to be close to me whenever he can. He is also a crawling machine. He loves to chase Roscoe around the house! Cade also loves to take Roscoe's toys and dangle them in front of him. Too funny! Other than that, everyone is doing well and we are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.

We started with Christmas at our house...My parents came over that morning and we opened presents!

Cade decided to crawl on his toys while they were still in the box!

Auntie Mere!

First snow

Loves his new lion. He can ride on it or walk behind it.

Christmas at Nanny J's house! (Matt's mom)

Cuddling with his cousins...

Reading one of his new books with Uncle Daddy (Matt's twin brother)

Christmas at Pa-Pa and Roo Roo's! (Matt's dad and Step Mom)
So, Cade could not get enough of Chase (one of Cade's cousins. They are only a couple weeks apart in age). Cade would follow Chase around everywhere. We were all cracking up!

Checking him out...

Cade had a death grip on Chase's clothes at all times...

Quinnlan fed him some green beans and sweet potatoes. What a good cousin!

Kensington gave him his bottle. Such good little helpers!

Each year Marvin (Pa-Pa) and Roo (Roo Roo) give the grand kids Christmas pj's. So, after multiple takes, this was the best we could do. As you all know, it was not easy getting everyone to cooperate!

And this was one of the last pictures we took...notice how all the kids are doing their own thing...starting from left to right: Chase has a hold of Kensie's hair and he is starting to cry, Braxton (in the middle) is petting Cade's head, Quinnlan is just sitting there thinking "how much longer till we are done," and it looks like Zayne is staring at the ground. Good times!!

Happy Halloween

We had so much fun with our little duck! He was such a trooper. And of course we didn't mind that he got lots of candy for mommy and daddy to eat! Here are also a few pics from earlier in the week. What a great "First" Halloween!

Checking out his new Halloween pj's. He loved the pumpkin on his feet!

Tired little pumpkin!
Showing off his t-shirt. It says "My First Halloween!"
Our little Duck!

He was getting tired of having the hood on. Don't blame him!

This was after we went trick or treating. He still had a smile on his face!

Food

Cade is becoming quite the little eater. He LOVES sweet potatoes! He gets so excited when he sees them. It is hilarious watching him eat!

Not so sure about them at first...

Trying to spit them out...
Ok, these aren't so bad!

Now he can't get enough!

Pumpkin Patch

I'm a little late at posting these... We took Cade to the Pumpkin Patch last weekend. He loved it! We had a hard time getting him to look at the camera though. He was so distracted by all the kids and the pumpkins! Just too much to look at! He also has two teeth on the bottom now. He likes to show them off when he smiles!

First Tooth!

Cade's bottom tooth is starting to show! The one next to it is coming through as well. He's been a real trooper. Just a little fussy at times but nothing major. Matt is out of town so I tried to take a picture of his teeth by myself. Well, that didn't go over so well. Cade tries to grab the camera and eat it! So, my approach was to get him to laugh and then I'd try and take the picture!

Taking a break to play with Roscoe. Cade gets a kick out of Roscoe bringing him his toy!

Bubbles

Cade loves to spit and blow bubbles now. He does it ALL the time!!!

5 Months Old!

Cade is 5 months old now! Well, more like 5 1\2... Here are just some random pictures that we've taken over the past couple of weeks.

Sitting up in his bumbo like a big boy!
It's hard to get him to sit up straight because all he wants to do is eat the bumbo and play with his feet (or pull his socks off)!

Playing on the computer with daddy. He loves to pound the keyboard. Matt turns off the computer and lets Cade do what he wants!
Monday night football! Cade was very excited that the Cowboys won!
It's pretty much impossible to keep his socks on anymore. He likes to take them off after he wakes up from his nap!
The cutest boat driver ever! He's helping daddy winterize the boat.

Our little engineer! He was very fascinated with the boat. He's looking at the tower. Like father like son!

Tate & Savannah

Whitney, Chad and the twins made their first trip to Arlington last weekend. We were able to see them on Sunday. I'm so glad I finally got to meet these precious babies!

I think Cade has a crush on Little Miss Savannah!

Cade kept trying to grab Tate's hair. He's a busy little guy!

Finally got all three to cooperate....well not really but you know how that is!

Look at those cheeks!
