Biker Baby

Ok, so is this not the CUTEST stinkin' picture you've EVER seen of a baby...or biker baby, rather?!?! Of course, this is EXACTLY what I had in mind, when I thought of Valentine photo. I printed the little "MOM" tattoo off the computer, and ironed it right on his plain white onesie. I absolutely HAD to add the red bandana to make this charming little fellow's ensemble complete. I LOVE IT!!!...and it HAS to be the BEST picture Cade has taken yet. So SWEET. Now, he's rolling around ALL OVER the place and beginning to try and "push-off" with his legs to reach for toys that he has unwillingly pushed aside. This little chunk will be WALKING before he ever learns to sit up on his own! He's constantly BABBLING away when he plays, when he wakes in the morning, during his dinner, and also on the car rides to and from the babysitter's house...WHAT is it that he is saying? I'm not always certain, but I do LOVE to listen to his every word...after all, I'm sure it's something along the lines of "I love you, Mommy."

My Little Big Boy


So, I was changing Cade last night, and everytime I do, I always think about checking out his FAT little legs! But, this time, I was surprised to see that my little CADER TOT's not-so-fat anymore... My little man is slimming down. I guess I didn't really think about the fact that at the Dr. appt. the other day compared to the one last month, he had grown a whole inch and a half... AND lost 3 oz. WHOA!!! That puts him at 27" long and 19 lb. 10 oz. He has always been 50th %tile for length, and 95th %tile for weight and head circumfrance...and as of the other day, he is 75th %tile for length and head, and down to the 90th %tile for weight!... I KNOW...he is still a little piece of chunkin pie. I am so EXCITED that he will be 6 months old on St. Patty's Day! One half of a year old (WOW!)....well, excited, yet somewhat sad, also. For the longest time, he has looked just like my younger brother, Lucas, all the while looking just like me back when I was a fat baby. And now, he is growing to look more and more like his DADDY. Oh, and NOW, after 4 and 1/2 months, SOMEBODY has decided that he likes his BINKY again!!!
