Kayden's First Christmas

Kayden had an awesome first Christmas. Santa was nice to him and so were his grandparents, auntie's and uncles! It was a lot of fun. Can't wait for next year when he might understand the concept of opening gifts. If not next year, then definitely the following year. Kyle and I enjoyed our Christmas also. It was a lot of fun, we went to my parents house on Christmas Eve and had a lot of fun opening gifts and playing poker. I cashed out $19.00, almost the big winner of the night. My brother, Brandon, won the most with $23.00. Then on Christmas Day we went to Christy's house and had a good time there too. We had a nice dinner and then opened gifts. Once gifts were opened we played Catch Phrase, it's such a fun game, people really get into it. Have to say, the girls kicked the boys butt. :) Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and have a fun and safe New Year.

3 Months Old Today!

Hey there, hope everyone is doing well. Today is Kayden's three month birthday, it's hard to believe how big he's getting and how fast it goes. It's crazy to me and I don't look forward to how fast it will continue to go. I wish we could just freeze him and keep him three months old forever, he's at a really fun stage right now. He's discovering new things, some of his favorite things are to play on the floor and to suck on his fists. If I didn't know better I'd say his fists had some flavor or something. He's still doing really well with sleeping at night. He usually only gets up once, but I'm still working on getting him to sleep by himself. He doesn't like to sleep on his back and I'm too afraid to put him in the bassinet or his crib on his stomach, so I've been having him sleep with Kyle and me. It's a bad habit, but I'm just not ready to let him sleep on his stomach without some kind of supervision.

Kyle and I are really excited for Christmas this year, should be a lot of fun. Hope everyone is enjoying season and are staying warm!

Here are some pictures of Kayden taken today, on his three month birthday!

Picture with Santa

We took Kayden to see Santa on Wednesday. It was fun, Kayden showed no interest in Santa, but Santa sure liked Kayden. He told me how precious Kayden was, it was cute. I'm sure next year it will be more of a challenge to get Kayden on Santa's lap, but we'll deal with that when the time comes. Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season.

Cute Snowman!

Doesn't Kayden make the cutest snowman? Who can argue? :) Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. We're still getting ready for Christmas. Haven't gotten all the Christmas decorations up yet, hopefully this weekend I'll finish with them. Hope everyone is having a good end of the year!

Getting So Big!

Kayden is getting so big, it's crazy! We went to the dr. last week and he's 12 lbs and 24 1/2 inches. He's smiling so much, especially in the mornings, he's very much a morning baby. He gets that trait from his Dad, definitely, not me! Anyone that knows me, knows I need a couple hours before I'm ready to chit chat and be happy! He's almost sleeping through the night. He gets up once between 5 and 6, I feed him and change him then it's back to bed until 8 or 9, so we really have a good sleeper on our hands. Now, if only I could get him to sleep on his own the nights would be that much more pleasant! One day, right? :) Here are some pictures of his beautiful smile and some of him taking a bath. He's not so sure about the whole bath thing yet. He doesn't cry, but he doesn't really like it either. It probably doesn't help that mom and dad are new at this and still learning which techniques work! One day we'll have it all figured out and then it will be time for him to bathe himself! :) Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. Kyle and I are really looking forward to Christmas this year, we've got the lights up outside and will have the decorations inside up this week. It's going to be a lot of fun!
