So Cade is 2 weeks and 5 days old and just the cutest, sweetest, funniest little baby boy ever!

As far as the cuteness, Ryan and I think he is just beautiful! Everywhere I take him people comment on his perfect skin tone. He definitely has a nice little tan and we’re hoping it's here to stay. I know it’s hard to tell from the pictures, but he’s kinda rockin a mullet right now. He has a head full of hair in the back, and cute little whispies in the front. From the back his hair is brown, but as his hair grows in in the front it is looking blonde, so we’re curious to see what color it will end up being. And as his eyes develop, it looks like he will have blue eyes, but we’re still not positive. He has such a cute little body and adorable buns, just like his dad! :) As of his two week appointment, he weighs 8lbs and has grown to 22 inches long. He is healthy and VERY strong. He army crawls up our bodies when he is being held and has been holding up his head since week one.

Cade is definitely a little sweetie pie! He is a very chill baby boy and very well tempered. He lets us know when he is hungry or wet, but other than that is just a little prince. Right now he just loves to be cuddled and is cuddle bug back. He is also hilarious! He is always making faces that make us laugh. When he’s waking up he scrunches his faces and puckers his lips, hence his nickname, Monkey!

As far as Mom and Dad, we’re doing great! Ofcourse we’re tired and are adjusting to being parents every single day, but we love it. And if I can brag about my husband for a minute, I have to say that he is amazing father! A few weeks before Cade was born Ryan told me I needed to show him how to change a diaper. Through our conversation I realized Ryan had not cared for babies very much and I was curious to see how he’d do. Well since day one he has been an absolute natural. He is seriously an expert diaper changer, pro baby burper and perfect swaddler! (He has actually taught me a thing or two!) I am so lucky to have him home this first month and am grateful for his tremendous help. I can just tell how much he loves his son and it is so amazing to see my two guys together!

Alright, get ready for picture overload....









In Daddy's arms!

My view of holding the little guy! (lol, I love his squished face! :)


Cade is not a fan of his feet being virbated in the bouncer, so he always tries to keep his legs up!


Always asleep in his carseat.


Our first night outing, Joe's Farm Grill with the Landes family.

Our first day outing, a picnic at Freestone Park.


Cade gives the park a thumbs up!
