Dedication

We had Cadynce dedicated at church on Saturday afternoon. It went very well except they called her by the wrong name and we had to correct them. Each family went up one by one and while we were up on stage they had a picture of Cadynce on the big screen along with the meaning of her name and a verse to go along with it. The verse they picked for Cadynce was Galatians 5: 25-"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit". Cadynce fell asleep right before we went up on stage so she missed it all!

Five Months Old

Cadynce turned five months old today and she is sitting up all by herself now. She's still falling over some, but she is getting better every day. We did a little photo shoot in her room while she sat on the quilt that Rhonda made for her. View Album for more pictures.

Cadynce Kisses

Cadynce has learned how to give big, wet kisses. However, I think she's been observing Hoosier kissing Don a little too much because she does a lot of licking herself!! Cadynce and Don had a great Daddy-Daughter Day on Saturday while I was at work, and when I got home we went to the pool.

We had our Saturday night ritual, which is going to church then eating at Chipotle, and we didn't get home by 7 which is when we start Cadynce's bed time routine. There's a very small window we have to work with for putting her to bed without crying. I knew I was in trouble when she was done eating and looked at me and started talking. I figured she wasn't tired enough, and I didn't want to be frustrated for an hour trying to calm her down so we went downstairs and played with her blocks and read her books until she was tired. Don took some great pictures of me and my bundle of joy. View Album for more pictures.

Grandpa and MiMi Visit

Don and Rhonda came to visit us for Labor Day Weekend. Cadynce sure had a great time hanging out with her MiMi and Grandpa Don. On Saturday afternoon Rhonda and I took Cadynce to the pool and just as we were about to get out of the pool it started pouring rain on us. We had to run for cover at the pool house and wait for the rain to stop before we walked home. It was a cloudy and rainy weekend so we were so glad we got to the pool one day. Grandpa Don and MiMi got her the swimsuit and robe in the pictures and boy did she look cute. View Album for more pictures.

WNBA Playoffs!

We got free tickets to go see the San Antonio Silver Stars play in the WNBA Playoffs. We hurried to the game so we wouldn't miss the 7 o'clock tip-off. What we didn't know was the game didn't start until 8!! Since we were there so early, we walked around the concourse and had our picture taken. We hope you like it!

It was game 3 in a best out of 3 series. Our seats were great, and the game was even better with the Silver Stars hitting a shot with .5 seconds left to win the game. The only bad part is that we left at halftime to get our little sweetie in bed!! We got home just in time to see the end on TV, though...

Happy Birthday Donald!

On Friday Don turned 27 years old. We got up early and had breakfast together then went for a nice family walk before Don had to leave for work. He came home a little earlier than usual so we could go for a nice sit down meal at Chipotle. You can stop laughing now; I know we're addicted and that's why I bought Don a Chipotle shirt that has a picture of a burrito and under it says 'Addicted.'

Saturday Don and I were baptized together at our church picnic then went to dinner at our favorite burger joint called Bigz.

Cadynce and I have been going to the pool almost every day now and she is starting to enjoy it and has also started splashing herself. She has also started covering her face with whatever she can get a hold of. It is so funny and yesterday she had this little pig that she would put on her face then let go and start kicking her legs and arms until I take it off or it falls off. She thinks it's really funny.

She Did It!!

Cadynce rolled over from her back to her belly yesterday for the first time. She was playing with one of her toys and rolled over but one of her arms was stuck under her. She was so cute and of course I started going crazy cheering and kissing her and Cadynce just smiled! She also started sucking on her big toes yesterday. View Album for more pictures.

Party Time

Sunday we went to Jeff and Kelly's house to celebrate Aiden's baptism. Cadynce got to see Aiden and also Aiden's cousin Taylor. We took the kids out back to play in the kiddie pool and Cadynce loved watching Aiden and Taylor splash and play in the pool. Aiden is 8 months old and Taylor is 9 months old. We didn't take Cadynce's bathing suit so she just went in a swimmer. View Album for more pictures.

4 Months Old

Don't you wish you could just reach through the computer and hug her? Cadynce had her four month check up today and she weighs 12 pounds 12 ounces and is 24 1/2 inches long. She cried a little until the nurse gave her a sticker to hold and she forgot about the shots and couldn't stop looking at the sticker.

Fun in the Sun

It was a beautiful day for a swim. We took Cadynce in the pool for the first time and she didn't seem to mind. However, I think we were more excited than she was. She just hung out in the floaty we got for her, which is too big for her right now, but she didn't cry and she started to kick her legs a little. My favorite part of her bathing suit is the ruffles on her butt.

Cadynce has started to laugh and she has recently discovered her feet so we took some videos of that. View Album for more pictures and videos.
