Cade's 1st Birthday Party!!

I can't believe my baby Cade is going to be ONE in just a couple days. We celebrated his birthday with some family and friends on Saturday.

The song "You Are My Sunshine" is a very special song to me. My Grandpa Tidwell used to sing it to us as kids and because of that my mom sang it at his funeral. Because of his red hair I sing this song to Cade every day, several times a day, and have ever since he was born. A few months ago I decided I wanted to throw a sunshine themed party. I've always wanted to throw a party with a theme and cute decorations and had so much fun putting it all together. I made this picture on photoshop and used it as the cover of the invitation. The day of his party also happened to be St Patrick's day so I threw some green clovers into the sunshine mix.

As guest were arriving Cade woke up from his nap with a fever. Poor little guy wasn't quite feeling himself. After some sugar from his cake and a bath in the kitchen sink he finally started to have a good time. We sure love our little sunshine and can't believe he is already ONE.

BROTHERS!!

The FUN has begun! Every time I turn around today these boys are playing and getting into something TOGETHER. I love being their MOMMY!!

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

CADE stole the cookie from the cookie jar!

"Who ME?"

Yes you!

"Couldn't be!"

Then who?

BROSTACHE

Can a gentelman with a BROSTACHE join the party?

Landon is getting pretty savy with the itouch and figured this out on his own. Never a dull moment with this boy.!

CADE

My sweet baby Cade is 5 months old! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. Here are some things we know and love about CADE:

*He is really vocal and has an opinion about everything.

*He is always blowing spit bubbles or drooling.

*He LOVES his mama the most!

*He is super strong and has been army crawling for over a week. He is really fast and can crawl across a room in minutes.

*He loves water! He loves to bathe and swim in it and to drink it.

*He is a little stingey with his laughs but is overall a very happy boy!

*He is a big big boy wearing sizes 9-18months and size 3 diapers.

*He has been rolling from back to front for about 2 months and from front to back for about a month now.

*He loves his big brother! And I love to watch him admire Landon. I hope they become best friends.

Isn't he CUTE? We sure love this little boy!!

I LOVE this boy!!

Landon fights me every time I try and put jell in his hair, but today he was quite excited after I bribed him with the "just like daddy" phrase. He was quite proud of his new hairdo. I was having a hard time getting him to say still for a picture so again I used a daddy bribe by saying "lets show dada your hair" and this is the pic I got.

So CUTE!! This boy loves his Dada!

He loves playing in his new car!

This is the Life!
