He's Mobile!!

Which also means he's found a few new toys.
Kaden has been sick so this is what he gets to do three times a day. With his new found determination we thought it would be a good idea to lower his mattress.

Wicked

Now that we've become parents our blog has become mostly dedicated to Kaden. He certainly brings us a lot of joy. (I now understand why parents talk about their kids so much.) Anyway, Mark and I do still try to have a life. Last night we saw Wicked. It was amazing.

More Pictures

Kaden is such a happy boy!

He's learning to pose for the camera.

Kaden and Grandma Caldwell.

Kaden watching Baby Einstein. He loves it!

Wearing his camo you almost can't see him on the couch :).

Kaden started to get a little too curious in his tub. He looks at me like he's surprised I can see what he's doing.

So he graduated to the big tub.
He loves it even more.This is what Kaden used to do in his jumper (2 months old). Stare at the birds.

Here's what he does now (6 months old). Grabs the bird and tries to eat it.

Easter

The Easter Bunny brought Kaden books.
Isn't he the perfect book model?

He made it to the tile! We often let Kaden play on the carpet in the living room. Today I was in the kitchen making lunch and he'd looked over and there he was.

Mark and I have been doing our push ups with Power 90. Apparently we've inspired Kaden. He's also doing push ups regularly, but hasn't quite figured out how to move forward.

Not only did he make it to the tile but he also knocked over the tree. He had a great time.

More Pictues of the Cutest Kid Around

We took Kaden swimming for the first time. You can see the fear in his eyes. He didn't like it much. Better luck next time.
Kaden loves fabrics!! It may be because he was an intern at an interior design firm and sat through many fabric presentations. He loves to touch, hold, and taste them. Mark would prefer that his next internship be with the Utah Jazz. With the way they're playing it may really be a possiblilty.

I went in to check on him and found him sucking on one of the tastles of his blanket. I told you he loves those fabrics.

He's such a cute happy baby!

Kaden loves to sleep on his stomach. It makes his parents a little nervous because he doesn't always turn his head to the side but we've given up on flipping him over.

Better Late Than Never

Kaden's 3 Month Pictures

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

I had no idea my kids would grow up so quickly.

Kaden is sitting up by himself.
He loves his toys.
He likes to be read to.
I must have picked him up too quickly after hisbottle, and this doesn't show my pants, the counter top, cabinet, and floor.

He's trying so hard to crawl

He gets tired and has to take a break.

Then he's back at it again. He doesn't do much more than turn in circles and go backwards but it won't be long.

Do you think he likes his jumper?

Kaden

It's been a while for us but here's a few updates on our 5 month old.

Kaden now has two teeth.

He weighs about 21lbs.

He's 27" tall.

He wears some 12 month clothes.

He is such a good baby!

Kaden loves his food. His favorites are rice cereal and squash.

This one has a funny story to go with it. Kaden started rolling from back to front about a month ago. He rolled from front to back about a month before that but was selective about when he'd do it. He didn't really like to be on his stomach but really enjoyed his new trick. He was playing at the office and rolled to his stomach and started fussing, like normal. I thought to myslef if he's going to keep rolling over he needs to learn that he can roll back so I left him there. I looked over a little while later and noticed that his face was in a puttle of spit up. I picked him up and felt terribe. This picture really doesn't do it justice. He looked like the phantom in Phantom of the Opera.
Kaden started sitting like a big boy in his stroller. He loves his walks.
He likes to push himself around in the walker but can only go backwards.
He really loves rolling around. He's has figured out that he can roll both ways so we haven't had any more spit up moments.

He rolled around a little too much.

He loves to play with his dad!
