Roll Tide Roll!

Uncle D's Ring - Caden 2 weeks.
Go Caden!
Caden will be allowed to choose his own team and cheer for any college he wishes...
as long as it is Alabama (according to the Lyerly side of the family).



Fun Times with Daddy

After bath fun times with Daddy. Check out his little squeal/scream. Caden has started to make this noise all the time.

I found a Bumbo at a garage sale this weekend and Caden looks like such a big boy sitting up in it. I love garage sales for baby stuff and clothes. The Nike onesie he has on in the picture is a garage sale find as well (and of course, football is on in the background).



What big eyes you have....


Tummy Time


Getting stronger and stronger every day.

Oh the Places You'll Go!

Updated 09/22/10 with more states

Caden is a very well traveled little boy. I am writing this as I sit in my Brother-In-Law's living room in Tuscaloosa, AL (Roll Tide!), but Alabama is just the latest state on his long list of states visited (and we won't even count all the places I lugged him to while pregnant). He is a champ on airplanes and has only really cried twice - once at the end of our first trip to Portland and once when the tray table fell open and smacked him right on the head. He stopped crying about five seconds later and went back to sleep.

Caden's State List

  • Ohio (obviously)
  • West Virginia - we've crossed the border a couple times
  • Virginia - driving through to a wedding, but it totally counts if you have to eat and change a diaper in that state.
  • North Carolina - same as above
  • South Carolina - wedding and Court's hometown
  • Oregon - visiting my friends the Caves and the Doleacs
  • Washington - twice already! Catherine's hometown and a wedding
  • Texas - wedding in San Antonio
  • Kentucky - driving through to Alabama (and Cincinnati's airport is actually in Kentucky), but again - food and diaper totally counts
  • Tennessee - saw Caden's Godfather and changed a diaper in a country music bar
  • Alabama - Penn State vs Alabama, but Caden did not go to the game. Court and I didn't want to be "those people." We'll also visit my grandma, Caden's Gigi.
  • Georgia - drive and diaper (Added 09/22/10)

Caden and I made a trip to Washington in August for my 10 year high school reunion. He got to spend time with my parents and their beagle, Daisy. Caden LOVES dogs and Daisy was no exception. The video is from our first night there, after a full day of travel. My favorite part is the routine - Daisy barks, Caden laughs, Mom and Dad laugh and then tell Daisy to speak and it starts all over :) The other thing to notice is how strong our little boy is and if he is awake, he's moving.

That is the only video or picture I took the entire trip - I know - pathetic, but my mom has more on her camera that I can upload later.

We had a fun trip and can't wait to go back. I miss the West Coast!
