Bathing Suits, Boat Rides and Lime Slushies....

My baby is walking....yes, 8 months and walking. He took his first few steps a couple of weeks ago, but is now getting around quite well, practically running and is SO proud of himself! As a mom, you want to think your baby is brilliant and is advanced beyond their age, yet at the same time, I'm thinking, "you were just lying in my arms, totally helpless and completely dependent upon me. Where did time go?" I guess as they grow, you just have to accept that they will not stay little forever, but you must always enjoy every second and soak in each breath they take. As my baby is now sleeping soundly beside me, I just stare at him and wonder how one can love something so much, so fast. It's completely indescribable, yet so fulfilling. I can't wait to see how me surprises me tomorrow.....

Here Comes Peter Cottontail......

Happy Easter!

My Little Yard Man!!

As Jared and I have begun chipping away in our back yard, Cade has explored almost every inch of grass. He has been on rides in the wheel barrow, climbed up the lawnmower, tried eating flowers and helped mommy do some raking! Needless to say, we will be working for a while to get the yard where it needs to be but I am actually "enjoying" yard work. Yes, enjoying! I have just made myself realize that it all can't be done in one day, nor by two people, so we go out and work a few hours each day. Cade absolutely loves being outside, we just can't take our eyes off of him!
