Cade's 3rd Birthday

I can't believe Cade-o is 3. He has grown sooo much over the past six months. We've been working really hard with his teachers, and he has made tons of progress. His vocabulary has exploded, and his articulation is getting better and better. He is such a sweet brother to Coleman and is getting the hang of how to be gentle with him. He is a very special little boy and we love him to pieces.

We celebrated Cade's birthday by having a party with friends. Since firetrucks are the love of Cade's life right now, we centered the celebration around them. I think Cade's favorite part of his entire birthday was the balloon bouquet...

I think Coleman might have just as much fun on Cade's birthday as Cade did. He got to eat a cupcake for the first time, and loved loved loved the games and toys...

The boys also got to have Nana in town for the weekend, which is the best kind of birthday present!

It was also fun to be able to share the day with friends. We're lucky to live so close to so many amazing people.

We had lots and lots of firetruck paraphernalia!!

I thought that Cade would be really excited about a firetruck shirt, so I made a felt applique and embroidered his name on it... he really couldn't have cared less though. Oh well... it was fun to make!

YES; I still consider myself to be a novice in the cake-decorating department. It must have looked pretty scary... Cade gagged when I put it in front of him to blow out his candles!!

The presents were a hit. He loved unwrapping them piece-by-piece.

It was a fun and crazy day!!

Cade, we love watching you learn and grow! You make us be better people, and we're so blessed to have you as a part of our family. We love you, little buddy!!
