Jackson weighs 33 lbs. 

Cade weighs 27 lbs. 

They are 2 years and 2 months apart. 

Cade's room

I finally got around to making a semi-curtain for Cade. While it doesn't do much to keep light out (there's a roller blind behind it), it does warm up the room a little.  I like the pistachio color of the walls, but it's always felt a little cold in there. I tried to do some big pleats at the top. That is why the curtain is bowing out past the window frame. Oh well.

And here's his little shelf while we're at it. My favorite things are up there - so they don't get destroyed. I love that puzzle that Great-Grammy got him for Christmas. So much that I haven't even let them play with it!

a project two years in the making

Every month, we took a picture of Jackson and Cade, lying on their back, in their diaper, in their crib. I printed out the date on a small piece of paper and put it in the crib with them.

I had made a small book documenting Jackson's growth with 3"x 5" photos. I also just made one with Cade's.

I had some wallet size photos printed and finally framed them, in chronological order. It is so cool to compare Jackson and Cade each month, and to see how much they changed from newborn to infant.

My favorite picture is Cade's last one. He refused to lie down. And he is holding the date sign in his mouth.

It's perfect.

PS. I am missing one of Jackson's monthly photos because it got left on the computer at MSLO when I left. Such a bummer.
