Happy Holidays From Arizona's Cade Weston

The Happy Holiday card you see here arrived in my mailbox yesterday, on Friday the 13th. I was quite pleased to see this rather happy Happy Holidays card.

In the center of the card we are seeing Cade Weston, the youngest member of the Slotemaker-Jones-Weston clan.

The Cade Weston branch of the SJW clan live in Arizona, the town of Chandler, to be precise.

Cade's parental units are my Favorite Nephew Christopher, usually known as CJ, and one of my two Favorite Neice-in-laws, Carissa.

Time flies by way too fast.

I may be wrong, but I would guess Cade to be not quite two years old. Last I talked to Cade's grandma, my Favorite Sister Jackie, she was having fun tending to Cade, who was having his first walking attempts. 

I assume by now Cade is a skilled walker.

I'm so old I can remember when Cade's grandma first walked. It was a big event at the time.

Cade sure looks just like his dad did when he was a small fry. Cade's dad was such a fun little kid. I have been told Cade also takes after his dad in that being a fun little kid aspect.

Cade's dad is known as CJ, due to CJ being the initials of his first and middle name, Christopher Jay. Cade's middle name is Christopher. 

Cade's one and only uncle, Jeremy, is known as JR, due to his full name, minus the last name, being Jeremy Ryan.

Are we already calling Cade "CC"?

I do not know. I suspect such may be the case...

Arizona's Cade Christopher Weston Almost A Year Old

I talked to Baby Cade's Grandma, yesterday, she being my sister, Jackie. I was surprised to learn Cade is nearing being a year old, a month or two to go. Right on the edge of walking, starting to form words.

Soon after terminating the phone call, Cade's grandma sent me the video you see above, where you will see that Cade has mastered the art of clapping.

Jackie and Jack are leaving Baby Cade behind in Arizona next month whilst they head to Oregon and Washington.

Great Uncle's First Look At Cade Christopher Weston

Now this is what you call a bundle of joy.

Cade Christopher.

Born July 5, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona, weighing 4 pounds, 13 ounces. 18 inches tall.

Cade Christopher looks like he is smiling whilst getting held by Grandma Jackie.

 And here we are seeing Papa Christopher holding Cade.

Cade looks relaxed.

Christopher does not look quite as relaxed as his baby boy...

Welcome To The World Cade Christopher Weston

As I walked into Walmart, an hour before noon, my phone made its incoming text message noise.

I had my hands full at the time of the text message noise.

A few minutes later I remembered my phone had made its incoming text message noise.

So, I woke up the phone and found the following text message from my Sister Jackie, in Arizona...

"It's official. I'm a granny. 4 lbs 13 ounces 18" with strawberry hair 10 fingers and toes!"


 When I saw the message I quickly called Granny Jackie. No answer. Then I figured Sister Jackie must be at the hospital, which meant I would need to call her cell phone, not her landline.

Just as I was about to hit the call button on Jackie's cell phone number, Jackie's landline number popped up.

Jackie was home, not at the hospital. So, Jackie has not yet gotten to see her first grandson. The hospital has strict visiting rules. One visitor at a time. Something to do with COVID. 

The newborn baby boy's dad is my Favorite Nephew Christopher. The newborn baby boy's mom is my Favorite Niece-in-Law, Carissa. 

And the name of the newborn baby boy?

Cade Christopher Weston

I have now been a great Great Uncle three times. Spencer Jack, Hank Frank, and now, Cade Christopher.

I probably should mention that that is not a photo of Cade Christopher you see above. Sister Jackie is going to text me a photo when she gets to see Cade Christopher for the first time.

I Googled "newborn baby boy" and the photo above was the only one I found with what I thought might be strawberry colored hair.
