A Weekend at False River

We have had a lot of busy fun weekends. Starting with a trip to Memphis where we hung out with Ryan's family and of course the Lucius family with crawfish and tons of good company...to a fun weekend with my family, Alexis and the Lukes' at False River!

Caden loved the peacefulness of the lake. It was so fun to be able to rock him on the swing and watch his eyes light up staring intently at all the ducks, water, fishers, and boats. Many times I was rocking him on the porch and thought he was asleep bc he had been so still, but he was just observing and loving the weather and scenery. He is def. his daddy's son.

We got up there on Friday and went to dinner at Ma Mamas. If you know this place, you know it is like the Cheers of New Roads. The entire family is working in there and the wait staff is like family to them too! Everyone knows everyone. Angela who is one of the wait staff came up and swooped Caden away and before long he literally knew all the visitors and kitchen staff too.

Saturday was so fun. English, Will and Alexis came up with little William and we had a full day. We were so excited Alexis was able to come, and that William and Caden could get to hang with their T-Lex as she insist on being called :-)  We boiled crawfish, went out on the boat, played in the baby pool, and had our fair share of food and beer with good company. William was so sweet to watch as he embraced "Baby Caden" as he calls him. His interest in him actually lasted longer than I anticipated! It was so cute to see the two of them hanging out, knowing the little men will be best of buds for years to come!!! Caden kept staring at William like why are you smaller than all the rest of these people....and he constantly was trying to reach for William and grab him, especially when William would sing to him. So we think he is taking to him just fine!

Loving the hammock

Matching outfits

Satterfields

Adult time consisted of a fun ride out and visit to Satterfields for an hour...while Big Dad and GG kept lil William and Baby Caden.

I look forward to taking him back again in April...and soon enough he can go for a boat ride with us!

Everyday gets better....

So as many have told me 'it just keeps getting better and better', they couldn't be more right. Ryan and I were just talking last night and saying how we can't believe how much more we fall in love with him every day, it's such a vulnerable feeling but amazing one at that! I love snuggling with my little man, I can't get enough of it...and he is so sweet and has a heart for both me and Ryan shows how much he loves us with his face lighting up when he sees us and his cuddling... it just melts our hearts!!! 

We can't believe how much each day brings a new surprise whether it be a face he makes, a noise we have never heard, or even a movement that proves he is growing so fast he is hardly an infant anymore! He is 19 lbs, 29 inches long and lean but carries about everything in his cheeks!!! You can see that below. Last night we actually heard a belly laugh giggle and we just couldn't get enough of it! Lately our lil Bubby (which is my new nickname for him, was my Paw Paw's name, and ironically I had no clue but my dad was called this growing up!) has discovered his voice. It is so entertaining right now (ask me again in a few months if the screaming is still cute) but he does this talking scream and he impresses himself with how he does it! Then he focuses really hard and does it again. So cute. He also has this secret crush on Dora I think. We had a fun trip to Memphis this past weekend and on the way home when he watched Dora he would have a serious face but as soon as she came on the screen he started smiling so big. Liz thinks it's because Dora looks like a young version of her  ;-)

This weekend we head to False River, where lil Bub will hopefully get his dose of pretty weather out on the lake and of course some fun in a baby pool. He will also get some play time with his buddy Lil William!!!! We are doing ANOTHER crawfish boil and I can't wait until the day they can eat crawfish with us! I also can’t wait until the two of them are playing together and we can even take them out to water ski. Memories to come...and of course pics from this weekend. He has hit new hat all ready!
