NURSERY!!

HIP HIP HOORAY!! Kaden went to nursery today for the first time and LOVED it! It is about a month early to take him to nursery so I planned on just going in and sitting with him. I figured its better to sit and keep him contained in a room than run all over the church chasing him. The ladies in nursery were so nice and more than willing to take him even though I told them he was only 17 mo. The results.... 2 solid hours of no chasing fussing, or throwing of cereal! Both Chris and I actually got to sit and enjoy Sunday School & Relief Society/Priesthood. And Kaden came home a happy and worn out boy. What a deal! I think this will change our church experience entirely. Of course 2 more months and it will be a new born and nursing that will disrupt our meetings. Oh well we will enjoys the few short weeks we have left.

Also for church today Kaden got to wear his new Sunday outfit. One thing about him getting so big and active... he won't stand still and let me take cute picture. He is always pulling some retarded face or getting mad at me for making him sit still... So these aren't the cutest pics but he looked absolutely adorable.

He was literally pulling the the door knob and saying "bubye" he was anxious to get to church!

Its a bird its a plane its...

A FLYING BABY!!
Chris and Kaden have discovered a new fun game. Kaden lays on our very deflated air mattress and Chris launches him into the air. Dangerous??? yes probably... but boys will be boys!

Good thing his landings are soft. Notice that the walls in Taycee's room are still white with no furniture to speak of other than a blow up mattress for visitors. I am working on it!!
You can't tell very well because it looks like Kaden is still sitting on the bed. But really he is about a foot off the mattress in this picture.

Kaden is always doing things that make us laugh. When he wants to eat something but can't get it open he will come up to you grab your hand and put the jar or container in your hand to open. Today we were at a family birthday party for the October birthdays and he had a small green football that all the little kids were playing with. Every time he would get his hands on it he would hold it as high as he could over his head and run around with all the other little girls chasing him. hahaha it was so funny. Already learning the game of football.
Right after he and Chris were done playing the flying mattress game we both ( Chris and I )left the room and went into the kitchen. About 10 seconds later Kaden peeked around the corner and said "come here" in his little words and motioned for Chris to follow him. When Chris followed him back Kaden ran for the mattress ready to play again. What a cute boy! We sure do love him.


Here is my 30 week belly shot. I have really "blossomed" over the past 10 weeks. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and all is still looking good. After the blood work they sent me a letter telling me I am anemic and I need to take in more iron. Other than that all is well.

10 more weeks!!

Here is a close up for those really want to see the protruding bump.

So let it begin....

I have officially started putting Taycee's room together. I have been putting it off forever and then I realized that if Taycee comes as early as Kaden did I have only 8 weeks to order and put every thing together! AHH. So I ordered her bedroom set and tonight I bought and painted the letters for her room. For having no vision when I started I think they turned out pretty good. I am going to hold off on hanging them until I actually have furniture in the room. They say the first step is the hardest so hopefully I will find the energy to finish the rest. However, Kaden doesn't make things any easier. Tonight while I was painting these letters he managed to not only get his fingers in the paint and make a mess but also dump an entire plate of chicken veggie dumpling casserole on the carpet. :)
Next step: go to babys r us and buy the rest of her bedroom decor. (If Chris will let me ;)

Family Night at the Pumpkin Patch

Tonight for family home evening we took Kaden to the Pumpkin Patch to pick out a few pumpkins to carve. He thought it was quite exciting. We ended up with a 25 lbs pumpkin. Now time for the carving!

Lately we have noticed more and more Kaden's love for music. We have always known he loved music. When he was in my stomach and I would start playing the piano he would immediately stop kicking and clam down. Lately though he has become even more entertained by music and dancing. One of his favorite shows to watch is dancing with the stars. And whenever he hears an upbeat tune he starts dancing around the room. It is so cute. I will try to upload a video soon.

Weekly Update

Kaden continues to grow like a weed. I still cant believe he is walking and starting to talk. He is so much fun and we love him so much. He is starting to really learn animal sounds. He now knows a dog, a kitty, a cow, a monkey, and sometimes he will growl like a bear.

He had his first bath with bubbles today. HE LOVED IT. Of course that is no suprise considering second only to being outside taking a bath is his favorite thing to do.

All the kids were home together this weekend. So we took some random pictures.

These are from the Peach Days parade last month but I just got them off my moms camera.

This week my goal is to get brave enough to order Taycee's bedroom set. We'll see how that goes. :)

Moments...

Everyone has those moments where they search for a reason to explain away their pure lack of intelligence. Yesterday morning I had one of those moment. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I take Kaden to daycare. Kaden's daycare is fairly close to our home. Yesterday morning I got up early so I could get Kaden ready and take him to day care and still be to work at a decent time. The morning was going well and I was out the door at about 7:30. I put Kaden in his car seat jumped in the car and headed on my merry way.... It was about 20 minutes later when I was getting off of I-215 and merging onto I-80 ( about 5 minutes away from my work) that I realized Kaden was still sitting in the back of the car!!! AHHH! Who does that? Who forgets their child is in the car and drives all the way to work? Today I will blame it on being pregnant, and having a lot of things on my mind lately. Anyway, needless to say I got to work and turned right around drove all the way back to Kadens day care (about 25 minutes) and then drove back to work. What a waste of expensive gas and time. So much for getting to work early! Oh well, at least I didn't do something really stupid and leave him in the car or something.
