Caden's first baseball game!

We took Caden to his first baseball game this week to cheer on FSU. We were also lucky enough to sit in a dugout suite, which was perfect for a two year old. It was outside, but sectioned off, so it was sort of like a big playpen! And Caden enjoyed the hamburgers and potato chips in the suite. Here are some pictures from the game...Watching the game intently with Daddy.

Always on the go at almost two years old...

Also, an update on his health...when we took him back to the doctor last week for his pneumonia re-check, his pediatrician thought it was time to start doing some tests to see why he seems to catch every respiratory virus and then those viruses seem to hang around longer than normal. So, he is doing tests for cystic fibrosis, immune deficiencies, and allergies. We had the cystic fibrosis test today, which had both mommy and daddy pretty worried, and it came back normal! We were thrilled with the great news. So, now we are going to have blood drawn and tested starting next week to see if there is any immune deficiencies going on, and then on to the allergist. His pediatrician is almost positive that it is allergies and asthma, but wants to turn over every rock and stone to make sure he is correct. He's also hoping that if it is asthma that Caden will grow out of it. So everyone please keep us in your prayers as we go through all of these tests! We are so blessed to have this little boy in our life and we just want him to be happy and healthy!

Easter...and only a week and half late

Hoppy Easter...well, okay, that's a little late, but here is the blog update on our Easter...



I took Caden to see the Easter bunny...well that didn't go well. I had high hopes that we would get a good picture in his super cute Easter outfit, but he wasn't having it. He looked at me like I was crazy for leaving him in this strange being's lap and promptly tried to buck his way out of that lap...


It's so nice to have friends in town that treat you like family! Caden and I had a few invitations for Easter Sunday (daddy was out of town for a bachelor party...), and we took our friend Cindy up on her offer and went over to celebrate Easter at her mother-in-laws house. We had a good time...actually Caden had a blast playing with all of the dogs and getting a ride on Miss Kathy's tractor! Unfortunately, I was so worried about him breaking something and chasing him that I didn't get any pictures....aahhh, the terrible twos!


Daddy got home Easter Sunday evening, so mommy hid Caden's Easter Bunny presents until Daddy got home to see him open it up. I'm not sure that will work for much longer, so daddy better stay in town next time.


Somebody must have told the Easter Bunny that Caden needed a place to store all of his books because the Easter Bunny put all of his presents in this great storage bin instead of a basket!

The Easter Bunny brought him some sidewalk chalk shaped like Easter eggs...


But the highlight of his Easter Basket was the stacking cars...he LOVES to stack things even when they are not meant to stack...so these are great! Thanks, Easter Bunny.
Once our Easter festivities were over, poor Caden just wasn't into playing and had 102 degree fever. We took him to the doctor the next day and then to do chest x rays...and low and behold, Caden had pneumonia for the second time already in 2010. Ugh!
