Nashville

Last month we took a family trip to Nashville. Kaden had a good time. Check out these faces! :)

This little face of hers is completely priceless. We're not sure if it was the sound of the traffic or the cool breeze tickling her nose. Pretty cute!

She LOVED playing in the leaves!

Kaden slept great away from home. Mommy and Daddy were a little worried. It must have been that pretty pillow behind her that helped her sleep so well.

10 Months Old!

Kaden had her checkup on Monday with Dr. Knight. She is now 28 inches long (50th percentile) and weighs just 20 pounds, 9 ounces (holding at the 76 percentile). I use the word "just" since she's only gained one pound in three months. Finally our little chunky-monkey is thinning out. Dr. Knight said she looks very healthy and is developing well. We asked about her baby blues - he said her eyes would probably stay blue since they haven't changed a bit. Daddy's gonna be in big trouble in a few years. ;0)



We're sorry we've neglected to put more pictures and updates on our blog. We're staying extremely busy as a family and are out of town a lot on the weekends. During the week Brian's playing "Mr. Mom" all day and working from home and at the office while I teach kindergarten. At around 3:30 we switch roles so Brian can go teach classes at the gym. Since Kaden has dropped her late afternoon nap, she can sometimes be a handful to keep entertained until bedtime. When our schedules allow us to be together as a family we try to enjoy each other as much as we can. Our priority is our family - most importantly, Kaden!

Here Come the Holidays!

Kaden is getting ready to celebrate her first Christmas. Thanks to her Aunt Alex she has lots of cute hairbows to fit the occasion. We have fun playing dress up at our house! :0)

Happy Halloween!

Even though we're a little behind, we thought we would share some of our favorite pictures from Halloween.

Kaden spent Halloween helping to pass out candy to trick-or-treaters with her friends Jacob and Lucas. It was a real zoo with Kaden dressed as a pig and the boys dressed as a monkey and a lion. Everyone commented on how cute she was with her poofy pig costume (thanks Donna Ma).

Many Smiles

Kaden has so many different smiles. It's fun to capture a variety. Check out these grins! :0)

Family Fun on Fall Break

Brian and Kaden came up with a very creative way to find the perfect pumpkin. We're looking forward to spending all these fun holidays with our baby girl.

Kaden and Mommy enjoying a little sunshine outside. Check out those gigantic cheeks on Baby Girl. Don't you just want to pinch 'em?

Picking Pumpkins

This week was Fall Break. We've been super busy! Besides going to two festivals and the pumpkin patch, we visited all of our family.

We were glad Poppy, Donna Ma, and Norm Pa were able to go to Huber's with us at the last minute.

This week Kaden cut her first tooth (or maybe two). She's been super slobbery but more smiley than ever. Take a peek...

Happy Fall!

Kaden will be eight months old in a few days and we cannot believe it! She has grown so quickly. Time has flown by faster than ever.

Kaden loves to use her hands to grab, pick, pull, pat, hit, and pinch everything these days. Her new thing is pulling on Mommy's hair or earrings. She even pulls on Daddy's hair.

We cannot wait to see what new things she will be into this fall.

Sink Baths!

First Word!

Kaden said her first real word today. Watch the video to see what it was... :0)

Loving Her Hat!

Kaden met her new friend Izzy last weekend. Check out the video!

Loving Her Crib!

Playdate with Elly Kate

Kaden LOVED looking at her new friend, Elly Kate. Kaden and I helped John and Mary by babysitting Elly Kate while they were in class at UK. We'll get to have at least one playdate a month with her. Yea!
