Month 2

Dear Cade,


Today you are two months old.  You are constantly growing and changing and amazing all of us.  You are holding your head up, smiling, "talking" watching everything, and constantly moving.  You talk and move even in your sleep causing me to wonder daily if I should call the doctor because I think you are in pain or something.  You aren't, you are just busy.  We are in trouble when you start becoming mobile - and we are going to love every minute of it. 

Your personality is starting to shine through - you are all smiles, and chat anyone up who will listen.  We fall deeper and deeper in love with the boy God made you to be, and I can't wait to see how you will grow up.  Yesterday we took you to your cousin's basketball game.  For the entire game you were focused on the court, soaking in all the action.  Afterward you were telling us all about it.

I was listening to the song My Sweet, My Lovely by Plumb the other day and a line from it really struck me and made me think of you:

I stare into
The bluest eyes
Time stands still in
Your smile
You weren't there
And now you're here

I dreamed of you
But I never know how...sweet and lovely

We lived over 30 years without you around, and now it seems like you have always been a part of our lives.  You weren't here - but now you are, we didn't know a part of us was missing until you showed up.
