Our little man is now two months old and finally packing on some weight. We went for his 2 month check up (he's perfect!) and he weighs 10 lbs and is 22 inches long. Still only in the 15th percentile for height and weight, but his head is in the 50th percentile. This kid has a huge brain, no wonder he is so advanced (spoken like a true mommy!).
We thought it would be fun over the first year to take pictures of Cade with the Tonka truck his Grammie and Gramps gave him (the blanket was crochetted by Grammie too) to see just how big he is getting. As you can tell he has just about grown out of the back of the truck!Two months also brought Cade's first trip! We traveled to see Auntie Jenny and Uncle Matt for the weekend. I joined Jenny, my mom and our friend Stacy for a Rebecca St. James concert at their church and then we spent the next day in San Clemente with our friends the Eckerts. Cade got to meet his friend Sadie who is just two days younger. She shared her basket and we got some cute pictures.
Rosie is the best big sister! She was even giving love to Cade.

Family picture :)The best part of the weekend was being with family and capturing some beautiful moments thanks to my sister's talent for taking pictures.
Valentine's day rounded off the weekend and Eric and I continued our tradition of breakfast for dinner and a movie. This year instead of apple pancakes we made an Apple Puffed Pancake. I have posted the recipe. It is so so yummy and a Cooper family favorite. I subsituted Pamela's Pancake and Baking mix for the flour to make it gluten free. Seriously, Pamela's mix is the best. We don't even keep the regular stuff in the house any more. If my gluten loving husband likes it, then it must be good! So we set up a little romantic dinner with the Munchie (Cade's newest nickname from me) and enjoyed our picnic.

Our Valentine's Day feast
Apple Puffed Pancake
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup flour
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon (Eric and I like a little more cinnamon than this)
1/2 stick butter
2 apples peeled, thinly sliced (Granny Smith work best)
2-3 Tbsp. brown sugar
Pre-heat the oven to 425. Mix the first 7 ingredients in a bowl. The mixture will be slightly lumpy. Set aside. Melt the butter in the oven in a 12 in oven safe dish. When butter is melted, add the apples to the butter. Put back in the oven until the butter sizzles, but don't let it brown. Pour batter mixture from bowl over the apples and butter. Sprinkle brown sugar on top and bake for 20 minutes.
Enjoy!!
