Terrible 2s

Terrible, as in how terrible of me to be so late to blog about Cade's two month mark in life, which was this past Saturday. I am reminded how quickly time passes with a newborn.

But my new one is anything but terrible.

It didn't take two months for Cade to start smiling. Facial expressions like this started a few weeks ago.

He makes my heart melt every day.

Cade paid a visit to the doctor yesterday for his two-month checkup.

Stats:

11 lbs, 7 oz

23.5 inches

Here are the official month-marking pictures.

Two Months

One Month

One Day

A Giant Baby!

No, Cade didn't suddenly gain a bunch of weight. As most of you probably figured out, the title of this blog is a reference to Cade's favorite baseball team. Earlier this week, he went to his first two games -- two days in a row.

Official Giants Family Portrait

Proof!
Remember? Blake got one a few years ago, too.

Cade's first game was Sunday. At Sunday home games, the Giants invite the kids to run the bases after the 9th. Cade's a little too young, but here goes Blake and his dad.

Cade had such a good time Sunday, I also took him to the game on Monday. 

This time, we brought Aunt Katy. It was her first game, so Cade was already one up on her.

At least she knew to sport the orange & black.

As you saw from the pictures, Sunday's game was a day game. But Monday's game was a night game.

Or in this case, a night-night game. 

Both boys fell asleep. But who could blame them??? The game went 16 innings!

Cade has plenty of Giants gear, but once he gets just a little bit bigger (more Giant?), I can't wait to put him in this new onesie. Thanks to our friends Brian & Katie Neal for the fun baby gift!

Notice I haven't mentioned Cade's effect on the Giants' record? I'm not going to.

Win or lose, taking my boys to Giants games will obviously be a fun family tradition. 

And as I have said before, going with family certainly makes for a perfect game.

Let It B

The letter B is definitely shaping up to be Blake's favorite letter, and it's easy to see why. His name is Blake Becker. He loves baseball. His favorite baseball team is managed by Bruce Bochy. And his favorite berries are blueberries. Lately, he's gotten a number of new things, all of which also start with the letter B.

There's his new baby brother, of course.

And check out Blake's new bed. Eventually this will be the bottom bed on a set of bunks. Blake even helped his Daddy build them.

He also got a new bike -- a present for becoming a big brother.

Blake recently took his first walk on the beach. It was miserable weather, but that didn't stop him from playing in the sand with his blue bucket.

 And this past weekend, Blake took his first trip to the box office to see a movie on the big screen.

By the way...

this blog was brought to you by the letter B.
