Sweet Potatoes!!

I know that all my posts are about Kade and when I made this blog I swore I would never become one of 'THOSE!' people. But O-well... what do you do when you have the cutest child on the planet:) ha ha! So here we are documenting Kade's First attempt at eating babyfood! Sweet potatoes was what we were told to start him out on, and I didn't think he was gonna go for it. But as you can see from the pics, he was stoked:) I freakin love this kid and can't get enough of his chubby BUTT!

KaDe's 1st ChRisTmaS

We had to do the Classic Christmas pic by the tree in our jammies:) Kade has some really cute PJ's but barfed all 8 oz of his bottle all over them so we had to change him! He got sick Christmas Eve and stayed sick for about 3 days:( Poor little guy! I can't believe he got sick for his 1st Christmas. Other than that it was a great Christmas though. We went to the movie Christmas Eve with my mom and dad and watch "A Christmas Carol" in 3D. The 3D part was cool but the movie was a little dark and not what we expected from a Jim Carrey movie. But it was fun non the less. Kade slept through most of the movie so we actually got to watch it which was amazing:) But after the movie is when he got sick.
We went to bed and slept in until about 9:00 on Christmas morning... (I am sure that is the last Christmas we will be able to do that though). After we woke up we opened presents. Colby bought me a camera and bunch of clothes and great things. He is so sweet and always spoils me rotten! Thanks Colby I love you so much:) I got him some new drills that he had been wanting and clothes and cologne and PS3 games and such! Then we headed over to my parents house for my dad's famous biscuits and gravy and waited for our phone call from Derek! It was so great to talk to him and hear his voice! We miss him so much and even though he seemed really happy I still cried and got a little sad that he wasn't there to spend Christmas with us. He told us all about his mission and the good work that he was doing for people for Christmas. He seems like he has already grown up so much, we are so proud of him!
After that we opened up presents with my mom and dad and of course we got spoiled! We got way more than we needed. Then we headed over to Colby's moms for some ham and rolls and opened more presents there... again we got spoiled and found out that we were going to Disneyland Jan 13th!! We are so excited!! After that we went home! The End! I love Christmas! It is so nice to relax and spend time together as family. We are so blessed with such great families and friends to share the holidays with!

I hope that everyone had a GREAT Christmas!

Here is Kade with all his loot! Just look at the face.. he is even cute when he is giving us dirty looks:) He got a ton of new clothes and toys... what else can you get a 6 month old for Christmas?! He surprised us by actually tearing into the wrapping paper and helping open his presents though. It sure made Christmas fun. We love you so much Kade!

And then we have these little guys... they are all gone:( We held on to 4 out the 5 until Christmas for the people that bought them. Such cute little guys but so much work! Not that I would know... Colby took care of them:)

BEFORE CHRISTMAS!

The house was all ready for Santa to come... well at least the living room got in the holiday spirit!

Here are my two boys surfing the web for last minute Christmas gifts!! Aren't they just the cutest:)

FIRST WORDS!!

Kade Said his first word today and guess what it was............drum roll please.................
DADA!!
What a CROCK! ha ha:)

Kade's 6 month Check up

Kade went to his 6 month check up on the 18th of Dec. I cannot believe that it has been 6 whole months since we have had Kade as part of our family!! I know that that everyone says that but really I wish that time would slow down... my little baby boy is getting way to big! Here were his stats

Weight: 23.1LB = 98th percentile

Length: 28.75 inches long =96th percentile

Head : 17.5 inches circumference = 61st percentile

At his Dr apt he had to get 5 Shots in his fat thighs:( It was so so sad of course but he only cried for a minute and only after the 3rd shot when it finally hit him! But we decided to give him the H1N1 shot as well even though my sister warned me that I would prob make him sick... the Dr talked me into it because he is babysat and exposed to his cousins so much. But that night Kade got the worst fever ever... he was so stinkin sick and I felt so bad for giving him the shot:( He woke up screaming bloody murder and when I picked him up he was as hot as an oven! We stipped him down to his diaper and patted him with a cold washcloth ( wich he hated even more), he cooled down enough for us to take his temp and it was 103.9! I was dying... We gave him some tylenol and he managed to get comfy enough to sleep. But he kept the fever for about another day! It was terrible... I felt like the worst mom alive but I guess it was a gamle either way. If he would have gotten the flu I would have felt even worse..

He is just the most awesome gift in the whole wide world! I never knew that I would love being a mom as much as I do!
