It's been way too long since I have updated the blog so here is a little of what we have been doing lately.....
Cade LOVES playing his guitar while dancing and singing. He's had the guitar since Christmas and we have already had to glue it back together once. I love watching Cade watch his shows on TV. He does the exact motions and sings about every 4th word. There is no sitting and watching TV for Cade, he is always active while watching! By the way, don't ask about what is on TV...I think it's a segment from the Wiggles. They drive me crazy, but I think it's better than the Doodlebops! Cade also loves to watch Curious George, Sid the Science Kid, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Leap Frog Letter Factory (AWESOME video to help learn letters and sounds. Cade recognizes all the letters and knows all the sounds with the help of this video!), Leap frog Word Factory, Veggie Tales Silly Songs and Elmo.
The church had an event a few weeks ago for hunters called Call of the Wild. They gave away an ATV as a door prize. They called 5 numbers and my dad happened to be one of the five. They had to go on stage and use a duck call and do their best imitation. It was all for fun and afterwards they drew randomly from the 5 people to win the ATV. My dad didn't win, but it sure was entertaining! That morning he had
lasik surgery so he was wearing his goggles to protect his eyes.
We had a fun night at
Fuddruckers with several friends to celebrate a friends birthday. My friend Lesly got this HUGE burger. She did split it with her husband.....
Cade has decided that he likes bread now. He had already eaten his hot dog and this is
Cade eating the bun. I am SO excited that
Cade is trying and liking new foods. His milk allergy is gone and I think the egg allergy is gone also. We have been testing it out and have had no reactions so far! He even had 2 bites of scrambled eggs the other day!
My baby, Reid, got his first haircut on the 12
th. He had just gone to the doctor and we found out he had a double ear infection. He didn't feel the greatest, but this was our only chance to get all the boys haircut at one time.
The before:
He sat really well until the end. I just helped hold him on the bench.
all done and being goofy!
Cade, Reid and their barber, Matt
After:
Daddy and his boys. (Reid is showing you his sucker he got for being a good boy)
On Valentine's Day my mom had a special lunch for the
grand kids. It worked out perfect so Matt and I could go on a lunch date. Mom had the table set up so cute.
I sat Reid down in the chair and he started eating right away. I was surprised that he actually stayed sitting there with no problems!
this was the best picture I could get of
Cade, excuse the
Cheetos in his mouth!
My mom had the boys cookies wrapped up for them in the middle of the table. My mom has made these cookies every Valentine's for as long as I can remember. I even remember her making them for our Valentine's parties at school and she would write each students name on them. She still does a cookie for every member of the family and sends it to them if they aren't here. Isn't she the best???
I walked in to check on Reid one day during his nap and this is what I found. He is loving on his monkey, George. I love peeking on my kiddos while they sleep.
Last week we went over to my parents house so
Cade could tell my parents dog good-bye. He wasn't doing well at all and my mom had a feeling he wasn't going to live much longer. Copper was 15 (that's 105 in dog years!!!).
Cade has no clue what happened, he just thinks he went bye-bye.
Cade walked out and said bye to Copper and gave him a kiss. It was too sweet. Two days after this picture Copper couldn't walk anymore and then was put down two days after that.
I still have more pictures to post,so check back soon!
