A glimpse into our summer...

Summer is definitely here...from the sweltering Texas heat to the popsicles to the frequent trips to the swimming pool! We are loving it! Here is Caden hard at play.

Happy Father's Day!!

Such a tender moment between a sweet baby and a great father!!! Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband, and of course, both of our fathers!

It's already begun....

So, we've already started a tradition long-in-the-making! Yesterday, I decided we would surprise Dada with the Gator chomp. So, after pointing out gator, I would say to Caden, "what does a gator say?" And his response, "Chomp, chomp, chomp." Only, he doesn't do a "normal" chomp arm motion....no, he takes one hand and slaps the back of his other wrist.
Well....I guess we have 2 1/2 months left to work on it :)

On a side note, as I was working tonight on my computer, I turn around and see this...


Precious!

You know your child loves you when....

--he kisses the palm of your hand

--...and ponytail!

--he's really in a "mine" phase and when you ask him for the last goldfish, he replies with "mine", but then puts it in your mouth and smiles.

--he wants to sit next to you or on your lap to watch his favorite show.

--when you go in his room in the morning to wake him, he replies with a cheerful "hi!" and even when he's crying in the middle of the night and you go in to kiss him and he cheers up immediately and says "hi!"

more to come.....

Atlanta

Last weekend, Caden and I went to Atlanta to visit Aunt Shea, Railey, Tutu, Poppy, and of course, baby Maysie! What a SWEET baby Sara Mays (Maysie)is. She loves to be cuddled and loved on!
Preparing for our trip, I asked Caden...
Mama: "Did you know you're not the baby anymore?" to which he quickly responded..
Caden: "No!"
Nonetheless, our trip was great! The first time Caden had really been around another baby, and he was perfect. Only a few occasions he decided to point out her eyes (did not phase Maysie at all!) and pull on her ear. And only once did he decide to climb in Maysie's bouncer.
Here are our pictures from the trip, and Railey, and Caden's trip to the zoo!

Nothing better than a happy baby and a good laugh!
