My weakness

So those of you who have been following my blog since last year may remember this post; New Years Resolution.... well my resolution to stop drinking coffee only last a whopping 3 months, which is pretty good for me I think. But with being a stay at home mom, being at home most of the day and not to mention the time of year, my coffee addiction has become worse than ever!! There is nothing better than on a cold day drinking a warm cup of coffee with French Vanilla creamer or even better a pumpkin pie latte from DB or Bellatazza.

So to give you an idea of how bad my coffee addiction has become let me just tell you this... on Tuesday I made a 5 cup pot of coffee in the morning and by about 3:00 I had drank the entire thing by myself! For the rest of the day/evening I could not sit still. I was pacing back and forth, going from upstairs to downstairs and fitiling with everything. It was bad. Since that day I have limited myself to 1 maybe 2 cups a day and I have doubled my H2O intake to help me feel better about all the coffee I drink.

I guess I could be addicted to worse right....

Scrap booking

Scrap booking is one of my favorite hobbies. I haven't been good at keeping up on it since Cade was born. So the past couple weeks I have been diligently working on getting caught up. Here are some of the layouts I have completed...

Cade & I

So as the mom I feel like I am always the one behind the camera. I was looking through all of our pictures of Cade so far and realized there are none with me and Cade together! That is something my mom talks about all the time, how she is never in any pictures because she is the one taking the pictures. So last night as I was getting Cade ready for bed I called Tyler in to get a few shots of my boy and I. Even though he was stubborn and wouldn't give us any of his adorable smiles, he is still the cutest baby boy I have ever seen!

Look what I found!

Oh yes Cade has found his hands and fingers. I haven't decided if it a blessing or a curse quite yet. Blessing- he is weening himself off his pacifier, curse- the pacifier we could control but the thumb sucking we can't, and he hasn't mastered the art of thumb sucking fully yet. He tries to shove both fists in his mouth, after slurping and slobbering for a couple minutes he gets frustrated and erupts into an immediate cry. It really is sad to watch because I want to help him place his thumb but it just doesn't work like that. I just hope he doesn't end up sucking his thumb as long as I did.....

Chit Chat w/ Cade

Cade has found his voice and it is the cutest thing I have ever listened to. Check it out.
P.S don't mind the annoying "mother" in the background. Why is it that your own voice sounds so retarded on camera?

Bumbo Baby

Cade's neck is getting so strong I thought it was time to try out the Bumbo seat. He did surprisingly well. He especially liked facing the mirror and checking himself out. I know I'm a horrible mom for having him up on the counter, but give me a break, it's not like I'm going to walk away and leave him unattended.
