Pool time!

Saturday was a beautiful sunny day! We took advantage by getting Caden's new pool out and letting him play in it! Granpa and Granny got Caden this pool about a month ago, but we haven't used it until now. Caden LOVES the water and had a great time! As you can see...

Being cool in his shades!

First getting in.

Posing for the paparazzi!

Splashing is half the fun!

My boys!!

Look out girls!!

We had a great time in the front yard playing in the pool! BIG thanks to Granny and Granpa for the new shades, swim bottoms, and new pool! It was a blast! As you can see daddy got in on the fun too! And I had a blast watching my two favorite boys enjoy the beautiful day! Thank you Lord for all of your Blessings!

Caden says MAMA!!

I am happy to report that Caden added a 3rd word to his vocabulary!
He is finally saying MAMA! It is music to my ears! Although I have thought he has said it before tons of times when he wakes up and starts crying and screaming, I swear I've heard mama in there! But of course no one believes me! Well he now says it at random! He started saying it last night to David while Mommy was at work. Last night was also the first night he cried when I was leaving. I braved through and went on to work. Then, I find out through a text message that he started to say Mama! :( it was so bittersweet! Such a happy moment but sad because I was stuck at work. I want to hear it all the time now, but of course he still teases me...
I tell him "Caden say mama!"
He simply replies "Ah Dada dada dada da."
Gotta love my little Bug!!

The Bug turns 10 months old!

Happy 10 months Caden Lane! On May 21st our Bug turned 10 months old. This past month has been a whirl wind! It started out with Caden having a double ear infection the week before the wedding. Then of course his Big debut as a Ring Bearer at our wedding. I can't thank God enough for blessing us with our Buggy D!! This month was also the first time I've been away from him for longer than 12 hours (while on our honeymoon.) And lets not forget, my first Mother's Day! Everyday is a blessing and I am so grateful to have each and everyone!

We went to Kinlee's field day...

...and Caden was such a good boy!

We hung out in Daddy's truck
(while it was parked)

We hung out in the highchair...
(this pic got photo faves on Parents.com)

We spent time just being a lil busy BUG!

We got all dolled up!

And took pics in the mirror with daddy!

We got a new fishing hat!

And spent time in the great outdoors!

Here are Caden's 10 month happenings:

Weighed in at 20 lbs 12 oz
Still only says Dada and Hi
Two teeth (both bottom)
Wearing size 4 diapers
Wearing 12 month clothes (but still fits into most 9 months)
Walking along the edges of furniture while holding on.
Is content playing alone, but LOVES company!
His favorite toys are his Mickey train, baseball/bat t-ball stand, his zoo animals, and another play station that stands up has a book, computer, piano, and telephone on it (I'm at a loss for the name right now) and anything with music where he can dance!
He LOVES to dance!
Loves baths
LOVES to SMILE! (I love his smile!)
Using the sippy cup for all drinks except milk time
Started on whole milk!
He still has his bottle of milk in the morning, before nap, and before bed time.
Still on Gerber 3 foods.
We are introducing more big boy foods, but SLOWLY
He loves his biter biscuits and we tried Mum mums.
He LOVES Mum Mums :)

This little boy is the ABSOLUTE joy of our lives and we are so IN LOVE with him! Thank you Jesus for such a gift!

Caden,

You are our little Bug and we love you more than words can even describe! Each day is an adventure and I am always so anxious to see what each new day brings! In your smile I truly feel God's love shining through! I pray that you are able to see how much we love God and how much we love you! We pray you have a close relationship with Christ throughout your life and that you truly know the cost he paid for us!
We are so Blessed! We love you Bug!!!
~Mom and Dad

Granny also just celebrated a birthday on May 17th, Happy Birthday Granny!

Love,
Caden Lane

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care.
