Happy Easter / 2 Months

Where is the world has the time gone?!  I apologize for not posting last week, but things have been crazy around here.  My last two weeks have been spent trying to adjust to going back to work and getting into some sort of routine with the little man.  Going back to work was by far much easier than trying to get him in a routine (my crazy work schedule probably doesn't help much)!  My first two weeks back at work were awesome (aside from missing Cade like crazy).  I have such an amazing staff who made my transition back seamless .. not to mention that they held down the fort so well when I was gone!  Goodies are definitely in order for all of them once I figure out how to make some time to get it done :)

We had a busy weekend here.  We took Cade to the aquarium on Friday and he went to the Walgreens Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday as well as on a shopping trip with Mommy.  Easter was on Sunday and mommy and daddy had more fun with Cade's Easter baskets than he probably did!  We also took the opportunity to do his 2 month photo shoot - you'll see in the pictures below how much he has grown!  He was definitely being a little ham for the camera this afternoon (and for once it wasn't gas)!  We hope that you guys all enjoyed your Easter :)  Here's to hoping that I can post again sooner rather than later!

I couldn't resist including tons of pictures from his photo shoot - He was having a good old time with his mama!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I hope everyone is enjoying their St. Patty's Day Celebrations. Cade celebrated his first St. Patty's today :)  We were all decked out in green to enjoy our day.  Next year will be full of celebrating with lots of green goodies!  For now, mommy made a healthy, vegan "Shamrock Shake."  It was quite delicious if you ask me, but definitely not the same as the real thing.  For all those interested in trying, you can find the recipe here.

Mommy has to head back to work tomorrow :(  I have no doubt that it will be one of the toughest days (or should I say weeks??) for me to get through, but we can do it!  It's such a comfort to know that Daddy will be here with him so we won't have to worry about someone else looking after him.  I have lots of pictures to keep with me at work and I'm sure Daddy will text me lots more throughout the day to keep me going!

The lovely Traci stopped by today and dropped off Cade's pictures from his newborn shoot!  We are so happy with the way the pictures turned out and so thankful for a wonderful photographer :)  Enjoy the slideshow!

We also had a wonderful visit from Papa Jon, Aunt Patty and GG (we just wished Aunt Molly could have been here too)!  Cade went out to eat twice and we took him to see the Easter Bunny.  He was such a well behaved little man - makes me a proud mommy!  I now officially have all the malls scoped out with places to breastfeed (Nordstrom has a wonderful lounge in the ladies room for all you breastfeeding mommies out there), so it makes our outings a little easier and less stressful.

Enjoying the beautiful day with GG (Great-Grandma Doris)

Didn't freak out with the Easter Bunny :)

Love them :)

Happy One Month!!

Time has been flying!  I can't believe that our little baby boy is already a month old ... I guess that's the way things are going to go around here - FAST!  The little one has been growing like a champ - we still continue to eat, poop and sleep with a little playtime thrown in there :)  We still don't have a schedule down yet, but we are working hard on that - we have good nights and bad nights, but I'm sure we will get the hang of this sleeping through the night thing. On a side note, mommy is getting used to running on little sleep, but I'm not sure how long that will last!

Of course we had to celebrate Cade turning one month, so I baked some healthy vegan cupcakes.  Who doesn't love a reason to celebrate!?  Now it's Cade's turn in front of the chalkboard - here he is showing off how big he's getting :)
