Someone likes watermelon...

This was just hilarious. Cade could not get enough of the watermelon we had the other day.... not even choking would stop him from his beloved watermelon.

Roots of Empathy Celebration

As many of you know, Cade and I have been participating in the Roots of Empathy Program. In short, this is a Canadian program that is proven to reduce aggression and increase emotional intelligence, empathy and compassion in children. We are lucky enough to be a part of the United States pilot program, so we are a part of a small group of mothers and children in the Seattle area to participate. Yesterday was the Mother & Child celebration and it was so fun! All the mothers and children, facilitators, teachers, and principals were there, as well as the news.
Well, needless to say, Cade had a GREAT time. Here are just a few videos from our time there....

As you can tell from that video, he's still nursing ;)

Like I said, the news was there and they put together a pretty nice story about the program. Here is the link:

There are many more videos from the celebration but in order to get something up on the blog, I will just post these two for now!

At Nick's Comedy Club...

I have NEVER heard Cade laugh as hard as he was today with Nick. I only wish I could have captured the whole thing because it was going on for a long time before I could find the video camera. Always leave it to Nick to make someone laugh, one of the many things I love about him :)

Going for a ride...

This is so funny. The toy that he is riding on is actually a walker but he went for a ride instead. I think that the best part of the video is how is looking at nick... just mesmerized! I love it!

The Proposal...

This video was taken before we left for the Vashon Ferry. As you can tell, Doug was being very subtle about the whole thing! HA. We thought for sure that he got caught!

Here's the proposal! Please excuse the shaking camera, I was crying, go figure! Congratulations to Mr. and Soon-to-be Mrs. Higgs!

Cade's first Mariners game...

Cade, Tyra, and I adventured down to Safeco Field for Cade's first Mariners game! We played Detroit and didn't make it long enough to know if we won or not! Regardless, we had a great time! Thanks for your help Tyra! Here are a few photos:

Sleeping baby...

I couldn't help but record him taking his nap on this day. He had been sleeping so long, I figured I should go and check in on him. And this is what I found. He looked so peaceful but in such an uncomfortable postition. Turns out, this is his favorite way to sleep recently. Whatever works!!!

PS. There is no audio, so you are NOT going crazy :)
