Making Messes

He is getting more and more mischevious and FAST!! one minute he was playing with a toy, and the next he had pulled the Christmas tree down on himself. I didn't get pictures of that though. (Don't worry, he didn't get hurt.)

Kaden was trying so hard to make a mess of the diapers, that he got stuck. He was high centered for quite a while before he started yelling.

One day he will probably climb in the entertaiment center and close the door behind him and just hide.

 

CAUGHT! Red handed!

Cruisin' along

Yep he's cruisin.

And of course what do you get when you combine all of that?

 You got it...Destructo-Baby!

I said I would post pictures of our decorated house and here they are! I love how it looks!

I really like how my ruffled tree skirt turned out!

Merry Christmas!

Kaden's Stocking

So I am super excited that I finally finished Kaden's stocking! I love how it turned out too! I am pretty proud of it! The present is a pocket- the lid flips up. The book is probably my favorite though! The pictures don't really do it justice but it's really fun! I will post more pictures when we get our tree up tonight!

 Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! We hope you thanked Heavenly Father for all that you have and had lots of Turkey and yummy food! I know we did! Here are some recent pictures of us during the holiday break. Ok, so they are just Kaden, but we all know that's who you really want to see anyway- he's much cuter!
 (Some of them are from a few weeks ago that I forgot to post.)

 Maybe if I'm fast enough, I can get the camera!

Kaden LOVES swings!

Thats right our little fighter has turned into a little biter! He has two little chompers in the front bottom. He broke one through on Sunday and then when Justin felt his gums last night, was suprised to find a second! 2 teeth in 5 days. If he keeps up his rate, he will have a head full of teeth by Christmas! Tables, chairs, doggies and anything on the floor, Im comin' to bite ya!

This is my attempt to take a pic of Kaden's Teeth. Unfortunately you cant see them very well. :(

New Discoveries

     So Kaden has come up with lots of funny things in the last couple days. He tries to look around you when you are standing in front of the tv, or if you are not paying attention to him he will try to put his face in front of yours. He has figured out how to make himself burp. So he will burp after he eats and then sit and try to burp and giggle like this "eh...eh...eh...eh...burp haha..eh...eh...eh" its pretty funny.  I was making a popping sound with my lips and Kaden thought it was pretty funny. He was pretty tired at the time. He tries the burping thing a little bit, but I'll try to get a better video of it.

He also thinks he can crawl. He will sit down and then lean over his legs and get on all fours but as soon as he tries to move, his one leg gets stuck underneath him sideways so he cant move anywhere. Justin put him down across the room and then sat in a chair on the other side of the room, and in less than 10 minutes Kaden had scooted over to him. Another time I was doing dishes and i set him down in the office and all of a sudden he was banging on the dishwasher door. So he is mobile but not yet crawling.We call him destructo-baby. You can only guess why :) 

 Kaden and the spoils of his plunder!

Showing off his muscles!

 

Kaden likes to watch Monsters Inc on our bed! What a cute little Zombie!

What's in a name?

I found this shirt in Kaden's drawer that says "stronger than you think." That just explains Kaden in every way! We chose the name Kaden because it means "fighter." Kaden was our third pregnancy and after 2 miscarriages somehow we knew that he would be our successful pregnancy. We knew that he would be the baby that fought his way to us.

We used Justin's name not only because he is Kaden's daddy, but also because it means "righteous." So Kaden Justin means a "fighter of righteousness." We hope that he will know and understand that his name was chosen because we want him to be a fighter of righteousness and fight for those things that he knows to be true.

So strong he can lift a piano! :)

 and maybe take a bite or two out of it!

 Love that smile!

 You can't tell but he is sceaming in this picture...just because.

 Yep this one too.

This was after he got 5 shots at the doctor- he is pretty worn out!

 We love you, Kaden!

Back Home

Since we have been back we have had an interesting time trying to get Kaden back on his schedule, but its hard to be mad a such a cute boy!

 He tries really hard to crawl, but fortunately for us, and Hiccup, he isn't quite crawling yet.

 And eventually he got the food :)

 What a cute smile!
