Smiles

She has been smiling for a few weeks...we just now caught some sweet pictures of it! :)

Waking Up

Cadence is so fun when she wakes up. Maybe she will be a morning person!!

Tiny Feet

Ramblings

As I have learned in the past 7 weeks motherhood is about many things. Here is a list of some of my most profound "aha mom moments"
*It is about learning all the things you can do one handed (like blogging, cooking, switching the laundry and putting on makeup)
*It is about having the wisdom to calm a screaming child when you would rather just scream along with them
*It is about knowing when to say goodnight - no matter how much you would rather stay and hang out with friends or family a little bit longer
*It is about taking too many pictures (see the picture above - I think she (or at least her hand) is saying enought already!!!)
*It is about finding the time to love God, your husband, and a child
*It is about finding that one thing that calms your child - in our case Cadence likes to Hula Hoop and step aerobics on the Wii Fit...go figure
*It is about enjoying every minute you can with your sweet baby while somehow finding time to continue with the (all of a sudden) mundane things in life
Well, that is all for my philosophical (is that how you spell that...) ramblings for the night - plus Cadence might wake up any minute...

Week Six

She is getting "big" and likes to look at things -- like her dad. Cadence also talks a lot now. Who knew kids could be so cute.

5 weeks old

She is a lot more alert and spends a lot of time looking around. The dogs really like her

Grandma Nancy has her all swaddled up


Some 4 generation pictures. And then some funny sleeping pictures. She is 4 weeks today! The time has gone fast.
