3 Months Old

Well, we've been without the internet now for two and a half weeks and so much has happened. Cadynce learned to walk and ride a bike all in the same day! Just kidding. However, she is rolling from her belly on to her back now and is holding things in her hands. Once a week I have a parent educator come to our house for about an hour and I learn what she should be doing at this time and games for her to play that will help her develop.

We've been to the pool a couple of times but Cadynce isn't ready for the sun yet so she gets to hang out in the shade and watch Don swim. We bought a bike trailer and we have taken her on a couple of bike rides and she loves it. We have to keep her in her car seat still because she's not quite big enough. It's pretty light weight and the only time I feel like I'm pulling her is when I'm going uphill. We're going to bike with Don as he's training to run a marathon.

Happy 4th of July!!

We hope y'all had a great 4th of July. Don flew to San Diego this afternoon so we had all morning together. On my way home from taking Don to his plane it started raining hard. It took me a while to get home and once I got into our neighborhood I wasn't sure if I could get to our house because the roads were so flooded.

Our neighbors started fireworks early and all that noise kept Cadynce up screaming. After an hour and fifteen minutes we got in the car and drove to dairy queen and then I sat in the parking lot and watched fireworks and ate my blizzard while Cadynce was sound asleep. View Album for more pictures.

Best Friends

Roxy has been quite attached to Cadynce ever since we brought her home from the hospital. Anywhere we lay Cadynce down Roxy will be as close as she can without touching her. Sunday morning while we were making breakfast we set Cadynce in her bumbo so she could watch us and Roxy got up and went to sit right next to her. Where is Hoosier?? She was on her bed ignoring Cadynce as usual. View video.

Birthday Girl

I turned 27 on Saturday and we spent the day in San Marcos shopping at the outlet malls there. It was a beautiful hot and sunny day which was a nice break from all the rain we've had this month. They were having great sales but I just couldn't find anything I needed and I just enjoyed being outside walking. We decided to branch out and have a late lunch at Chipotle on our way home. We stayed at home the rest of the evening and relaxed then watched a movie.

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.
