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!!!
