4 weeks last thursday!!!

So Cade was a month old on last thursday! We can't believe how fast time has gone by. Cade is awesome! He is still quite the chow hound! He loves to eat and assert his opinion when we stop to burp him in the middle of his feeding. He is a pretty good sleeper at night but has gotten a little colicky. He loves going to lunch with dad and going for walks in the park. We love being parents and continue to find a better rhythm in our new life.
I know i've said it before but Cade rules and we are loving each new day as he grows and does new things. He has started tracking us as we move back and forth and lifts himself up a lot when he's laying on your chest. He loves lights and now follows toys back and forth as well. He has started getting chubby cheeks and a big old belly but still has his skinny legs and arms. He is super cute!!! At four weeks he was tipping the scales at 9 1/2 pounds!

3 weeks!

So Cade was three weeks old thursday!!! It's crazy how quick each week goes by. He is awesome! He still loves to eat and usually sleeps between 3-4 hours at a time. We love him so much and so enjoy seeing him grow. Both Nick and I have said it is amazing how tired you can be and he will do something so little and you will just laugh or be so taken by him and how much we love him. Don't get me wrong having a newborn is one of the most taxing things we have done so far but the Lord is gracious and gives us the strength we need each moment. Nick and I were talking last night just about how much we are learning about the Lord through being parents. It really gives you a tiny picture of how much the father loves us and takes delight in our littlest things. I've been reflecting on how the Lord lavishly loves us and yet how he can empathize with our struggles. We feel so blessed by the Lord for the ways he pours His grace out on us. Cade rules and our family is amazing and it is so great to have them to support us this whole journey.
so back to Cade... he rules!!! He loves to be naked in his skull blanket and is pretty content except when he is hungry. He loves his daddy and the time he gets each morning with him and Nick is an amazing dad! Cade surprised us the other day by rolling over from his tummy to his back twice. Crazy little guy! He is strong and has lovely lungs when he chooses to use them. We think he is part paranah because when he gets hungry he scrunches his face and shakes his head back and forth while trying to suck on the air. It's pretty funny! He isn't disturbed by loud noises so that we so appreciate. He slept through nick holding him and vaccuuming this morning and through his first ride on the john deere. Overall he is awesome!!!

2 weeks old!!!

so we have hit the two week mark! As of thursday Cade was two weeks old and quite the cute little man. My bud has been amazing. He has had 3 weeks off work and has been the most amazing dad and care taker for both of us. Without his help I know that I would not have recovered as quickly and Cade would not be as bonded to his daddy as he is. I can't say enough but I love my bud so much and he is an amazing dad!
So back to Cade. He is a delight. He is pretty mellow just cries when he is hungry and then occassionally gets fussy for no reason. But over all he is a pretty easy baby i think. We are all captivated by him and love him so much. We are adjusting to sleeping in incriments and getting use to the what seems like millions of diaper changes a day. He has officially grown to 7lbs 4 oz and loves to eat. He is a growing boy! He loves to have no clothes on and moves around like crazy! So yah, we love our boy and thought we'd share some pics with you from week two! enjoy!
