Lots to update

I haven't posted in awhile so expect a long series of "events". Not much is really new, just little updates here and there along with pictures. So this post is going to be random and scatter-brained.

We are closing on our house this Thursday, April 30th, and we are SO, SO excited to be getting in a house! No more noisy (and I mean noisy!) neighbors at 3am. No more horrible apartment management. No more extremely cramped space. No more cigarette smoke coming through the walls. No more climbing up and down stairs. No more suffocating heat when getting in the car because of no garage. No more paint fumes and pounding from the apartment downstairs. The list goes on and on. Can't you tell that I just love our apartment? :) Below is a picture of the outside of our new house. I will post inside pictures once we move in and get everything painted and situated.

We celebrated Cade's first Easter. Can't you tell he is so excited.

His Easter basket from Nonni and Grandpa.

Easter basket from Aunt Kim. Thanks to Daddy, all the candy is gone.

Easter outfit.

Cade has now begun eating rice cereal as of a couple of weeks ago. He only eats it once a day for now. It's quite a task trying to get him to eat it. I think he just prefers the comfort of sucking on his bottle.

This is his first go at the rice cereal. Every week I get to add a new flavor of baby food to it. This week it was applesauce. Next week, bananas. What should I add after that?? Oh, the excitement.

For those of you who know about woot.com, you may or may not know about their "bags of crap". Seriously, that is the name. Well, let me just tell you that "bags of crap" are a luxury that everyone fights for. Let me start at the beginning. Woot.com sells one item a day at a discounted price. Sometimes, they have really cool stuff. But what everyone waits for are the coveted "bags of crap". These bags consist of just random items that the company is just trying to get rid of for some reason or another. The price of these bags is $3 + $5 for shipping. It used to be $1 for the bag, but they have raised the price (I'm sure it's because of this lovely economic time). Some people post the grand opening of their "bags of crap" on youtube. Some people get some really cool stuff like Roombas, cameras, and flat screen tvs. Others just get crap. Well, we FINALLY snatched up a "bag of crap" before they all sold out in like a minute. We anxiously awaited for the arrival of it and dreamed about what cool things might be in it. Well, here are the contents of our "bag of crap":

3 of the exact same Brothers in Arms action figures, some hand-held video game thing, a camera case, and 3 lame DVDs. Truely, a bag of crap. But we still will try every time they come up to order another. The anticipation of what you might get is exciting. We are so cool...

AND: Cade loves to be naked. Baths are the highlight of his day, and if he gets fussy (which is most of the time), I just strip him down and he is happy for a little while. Who woulda thought?

Cade has also started losing the hair on the top of his head again. I swear he is destined to not have any hair until he is 4 like his momma. At least he won't be mistaken as a member of the opposite sex.

Look at that head action. Sure ain't pitiful anymore Dr. Powell. At Cade's 4 month appointment, he is 50th percentile for weight and 90th for height! He's quite the long little boy.

My little goofball just talking away. It's rather funny listening to him in person.
