Sittin' Around

We just bought Cadynce a bumbo seat so she can practice sitting and holding her head up. She does so well and she seems to like it.

Two Months Old

Cadynce just had her two month checkup and weighed in at 10 pounds 10 ounces and was 23 1/4 inches long. She's long and lean baby!! She also got her first round of shots; two in each leg.

Happy Father's Day

This was our day to recover from our vacation in Indiana. We slept in then got ready for 10:00 church and had a great lunch at Chipotle. I went grocery shopping and Don cut the grass. We got our pictures from the photographer and went and bought a frame for our family picture. We cooked out on the grill and enjoyed a relaxing evening at home.

Indiana Trip

We spent the last week and a half in Indiana visiting our family and it's taken me a few days to recover from the trip. We flew home Wednesday, June 6 and Cadynce was very good on the flight, however, I do have to tell this story...when we got to the the airport we didn't have a lot of time before we boarded so I went to the bathroom to get another bottle ready for Cadynce and I told Don that if they started boarding before I got back to go ahead and I'd meet them on the plane. When I got to the gate I didn't see Don so I headed down the walkway. As I got near the plane I saw our car seat and stroller still sitting there and I just shook my head. I took the car seat out of the stroller and folded up the stroller and as I stepped into the plane a flight attendant handed me the pacifier that Don dropped and I couldn't help but chuckle. When I finally made it back to my seat Don looked a little frustrated and said that it was the longest 15 minutes of his life.

We landed in Chicago and Aunt Carrie and Aunt Cat were there waiting for us at our baggage claim. This was the first time Aunt Carrie got to see Cadynce and she didn't waste any time as she got her out of her car seat and started kissing her cheeks. We got a quick dinner and headed to the Capehart house to meet the cousins. My dad met us over there too so he could see his newest grand-daughter. View Album for more pictures.

We went to visit Mum Mum and Pappie on our way to the rehearsal and they were so excited to meet their great grand-daughter. They did quite a bit of shopping for Cadynce. Great Aunt Linda was not home from work yet so we drove to Kmart to see her and pick up more diapers. View Album for more pictures.

On Saturday, Don was in a wedding at the Avalon and we had a great time showing off our little Cadynce. We didn't stay at the reception too long because Cadynce was getting hungry and she still hadn't met Grandpa Don. View Album for more pictures.


We got to Don and Rhonda's Saturday night after the wedding reception (they just got back from Las Vegas that morning) and I haven't seen Grandpa Don smile that big since the day he met me!!! They did a little shopping while they were in Las Vegas and spoiled their grand-daughter with lots of clothes. View Album for more pictures.


Sunday night we all got together at Tony's Restaurant in Valpo where everyone got to enjoy Cadynce. We had a great time eating pizza and visiting with everyone. View album for more pictures.

We woke up early every morning and walked to my parents house to make breakfast. My mom had a hip replacement the week before we got there so she wasn't able to do much. We cooked, cleaned, and Don did some yard work. View Album for more pictures.

As usual Jeff and Julie were so gracious to let us stay at their house, but this time we left the dogs at summer camp. (Cadynce did much better than the dogs). Uncle Jeff and Aunt Julie got some pretty big smiles out of Cadynce too. View Album for more pictures.

Overall, we had a wonderful yet exhausting trip at home. We bounced from house to house trying to let everyone spend time with Cadynce, and it was all worth it. There's just something about babies that brings joy into each of us.

Play Date With Aiden

Kelly and Aiden came over on Saturday for a play date. Kelly's husband Jeff works with Don and they both left for San Diego this weekend to work a marathon so we decided to get together. Aiden is 3 1/2 months older than Cadynce and look at the difference! Cadynce is wearing the dress that Kelly and Aiden got for her so of course I had to take a million pictures of her because she looks so darn cute.

We'll Be Home Soon!!

Cadynce just gets more precious every day; look at this face. She has hit a growth spurt this past week and is eating every two hours. She is sleeping great at night and is only waking up once now at about 2:00, but we are starting our day now at 6:00am. She has also discovered her hands and has been sucking on her fingers quite a bit lately.
