Frisbee golf and the zoo...

We went to play frisbee golf with Garrett's coworkers Friday evening. We didn't realize they have actual frisbee golf courses! Pretty cool! Plus you even use different types of frisbees, just like golf clubs, according to the distance to the "hole". Forgot to take a picture of the "hole"; it was about a 4 foot tall pole with a colored flag on it and chains hanging vertically. You have to get it in the chains for it to count.

Cade is getting bigger! We sat him up in the recliner and he enjoyed it! Here are a few cute faces we caught. We call him our Cabbage Patch Kid because of his cute chubby cheeks!
We decided to go to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium to enjoy the sun and walk around. Cade was up for about 5 minutes, then decided he'd rather sleep. We still had a great time, despite how crowded it was on a hot summer day. Cade decided to wave hello to everyone as we snapped this pic.

Here's a few of our favorite animals.
The meerkats checking us out!
One of my favorite animals, the otters!
Garrett's favorite, the snakes! He steered away from a zoo keeper who had one out to pet.
The beluga whales and seals live and play together. One of the whales was just hanging out on the platform, sunbathing. The other whale was playing with the seals; they would swim around the pool together and the whale would play bite the seals.

1 month old!

Our little peanut is a month old already! We were looking at pictures of when he was just born and he's changed a lot in just a month. He can now turn is head side to side and look around. He also is a very happy morning baby- loves to smile and is starting to giggle. Cade has also started to play more with his hands and can soothe himself to sleep most of the time.

Garrett wanted to see if the sling would fit him. It's tight on him, but fits. The reason why he wants it to fit is because...

he can play video games and calm Cade at the same time, instead of having to hold him like this. FYI- that's the Wii Fit game G is playing. It's worth it! So much fun to exercise by playing silly games! This game G is playing is a hula hoop spinning game- all you do is rotate your hips to keep the hula hoop on. FUN! Oh, and yes, Cade is asleep in his arms.
Garrett's favorite video game, Madden 2009, came out last week. So, of course, he wants to play it and hold Cade at the same time. Luckily, Cade doesn't care how he's being held and fell asleep.

We call him the "beast" when he gets mad- boy does he have a set of lungs! Luckily, the "beast" doesn't come out too often and is easy to calm down. We tried to get a 1 month picture of him; bad timing! He was mad because he had just gotten a bocha and was cold. Plus, I tried the booger sucker on him and he hated it.
So, this is a much calmer, peaceful 1 month picture that was taken at 3 am. Cade has been consistently sleeping 3.5-4 hours during the night! Whoo hoo!

3 weeks old

Cade is a little over 3 weeks old now. Still hard to believe he's that old! He has been such a great baby. Hasn't mastered sleeping longer than 4 hours, but at least he's still consistanty sleeping 2.5-3 hours at a time. He loves to be swaddled, but with the hot weather we've been having, it's hard to bundle him up so much!

I got this sling from my friend Abbie and decided to give it a try. The first time we tried it, Cade hated it! I don't think I had him in the right way. Now, he loves it and falls asleep during the short walk to the mailbox! He doesn't look like he's that comfy, but I'm not waking a sleeping baby!

Garrett works 4 days a week, for 10 hours each day (or what we call 4 10's), so he doesn't get to spend as much time with Cade as I do. Every night when Garrett gets home he gives Cade a bocha. Garrett and Cade love their bath time together! Garrett has perfected the temperature of the water, and Cade just stares at him and enjoys it!

Cade was born with a full head of hair, but not very long. It's growing and can almost be spiked to make a mini mohawk!

Tummy time! Most of the time Cade falls asleep instead of exercising his neck!

Sporty realized that Cade's "surfboard" that he practices Tummy time on is very comfy! Grandma would have a fit if she saw Sporty doing this in person! :)
