Almost a Year

Well it's September 25th! A year ago today I was a giant preggo who couldn't wait to have my baby. I remember feeling anxious and excited to meet my little man. And now, I've known him for almost a year. I can't begin to tell you how he has changed my life. I never knew how awesome being a parent would be. It's very amazing and even a little scary that my heart lives outside my body inside this little man. I pray everyday for God to keep him safe and watch over him because I cannot always protect him from everything.

Enough mushiness!! Cade's birthday is 2 weeks from today! He'll be a whole year old.

We're planning an Elmo birthday at his Grandma's house on the 7th. My mom has already started buying his gifts and is looking for ways to spoil him on this occasion. I'm just very excited to see him tear into his cake.

Then on the 8th, Lucas and I are planning to take Cade to the pumpkin patch in Newcastle. They have hay rides and a petting zoo. It should be a good time. I can't wait to see how he reacts to the animals.

On Cade's actual birthday (Tues. the 9th), we're going to get his haircut and have his pictures made. He should look very grown up with his hair cut! I can't wait!

I'll be sure to post pics from the pumpkin patch and from his birthday party. In the mean time, I've posted his 11 month pictures of his Halloween costume. He's going to be a pirate this year!

Until later,
