Six of One, Half a Dozen of Another

As cliche as it sounds, it's hard to believe six months have passed since Cade came into the world. What an incredible baby. He's just a love, and he's pretty much happy all the time. He even sleeps pretty well at night.
I think Cade is most happy when he's around his big brother.


I think the feeling is mutual.

Aaaaaaaaawwwwwwww
Cade's also getting his first tooth. No picture yet, but believe me -- it's evident when he grabs your finger and bites. Ouch. Although, it probably hurts worse for him.
Even still, he's a happy little baby. Here's photographic evidence, with Cade's official 6-month pic.

Hoppy Halloween

Halloween has come and gone, and it was an eventful holiday for the Becker brothers.
We kicked the week off with our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch.

There was the corn maze...

.... and a maze made of hay bales that seemed to be meant for Blake. He lead all of us through it, and seemed to really like the whole process of finding dead ends and then ultimately finding his way out the other side.
Check out the grin on his face.


We also went on a hay ride on the back of a tractor.


It was super windy that day...


...and really sunny. A halloween-themed portrait of our boys apparently was not meant to be.


A couple of days later, the kiddos got to go trunk-or-treating with Grandma and Papa.
This was the boys first time in their costumes.
It's hard to tell in the pics, but Cade's dressed as a little tadpole to go with Blake's froggy.


The next day, which was Halloween eve, the boys put their costumes back on and headed over to Dad's work to go trick-or-treating cubicle-style. 


Ryan's office goes all out with decorations, candy, cookies, and a pizza party.



By the time actual Halloween rolled around, we were all a bit exhausted. We did go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, of course, but it didn't last long, and I didn't get any pics. Oh well.
Blake's already talking about what he wants to be next year.
