Papa and Cade Grant

We went and saw Papa the other day at his store. It was so neat to go visit. Everyone there thought he was adorable, well of course he is, that's what I think! We wandered all around and Papa held him tight, a couple of gals were able to pry him from his arms but not for long! I know that Papa and Cade Grant (papa's namesake) will be the best of friends. Thanks Papa for being such a great daddy to me and such a great Papa all ready to your boy. The picture has a story behind it... We had fed Cade right when we got there. I knew he needed to burp but he holds it for 5-10-30 minutes or more. As soon as we handed Cade over to Papa he spit out his binki...so Papa tried to put it back in, well that wasn't the plan...Cade looked right at his Papa and belched LOUD!!! It was hilarious and for those of you that know boys, especially Sampier boys, know that such things are HILARIOUS in our house. So, being the photog that I am I snapped a great photo. Enjoy!

Finally I post!

Not sure why this one is sideways but it's one of my favorites he is wearing his dedication outfit

Snuggling my boy

Nikki and Adison (she was born 12/18) Michelle and Ryan (he was born in April, Ash's baby) and my and Cade. THey are all wearing I heart NY shirts from their Aunti Michelle that lives in NY

His teenie feet, well they are actually kinda large for a baby

Sleeping on his owl beanbag he got for Christmas, looks like he's smiling

Coming home from the hospital in his hippo jacket

He's here and he's sleeping in my arms as I write this. He was born 11/30/08 9:40pm 8 lbs 3 oz. 21 inches. 2 weeks early and he was 8lbs :) I prayed that he would come early and he did, if God was ready if Cade was ready I was too. My prayers were answered and at 7:45 in the morning I started getting strong contractions and 14 hoursish he was born.

The name...well we didn't have it until Friday, he was born on Sunday! It was so tough to pick. We had lists we had tears and we arrived at Cade Grant Greener. At the time we picked I was battling baby blues so I wasn't sure it was right... now I am sure it is.

So I can blabber on about the labor but it's not as fun as talking about Cade! He's an "angel baby" if you have read "The Baby Whisperer" he cries only if he's desperate and it's only for food, oh wait, he hates baths too!

He is my sunshine and the love of my life. I will post lots of pictures... so you all can see. Sorry for taking so long I am still easing into being a mom and was surrounded by the Holidays as well. He's not hard but how do you get the house clean and entertain a baby? How do you do laundry, eat a meal and make sure he get's tummy time? Slowly but surely I am getting it down.

More to come hopefully it won't take 4 weeks again!
