Catching up

Caden is now crawling... and boy does he move!!! We were able to catch most of the first crawl on video. Daniel has also taught Caden how to shoot the basketball. He loves to play with the ball. So here are some video and pictures for your enjoyment.


First time trying avacado.

Details and a Sonatina

For those of you looking for a few more details about Baby #2... here you go. We wanted our first two children close together, but this was a little closer then we were expecting. Baby #2 is due Dec 21st. So they will be 15 months apart. We were a bit shocked at first, but after the initial Holy Cow!!!! faded away the excitement began to set in. We are very very excited to be having another baby. We will be finding out the sex of the baby, but that won't be for another 10 weeks or so. I've been feeling pretty good. A few days of nausea, but nothing major. With Caden, the morning sickness didn't start until 17 weeks and then I had to be put on medication because I couldn't keep anything down. Praying that doesn't happen. So there's not much to the details, but there they are. I leave you with our musician extraordinaire.


Caden is getting ready to play some serious music.



In the middle of his sonatina, serious concentration.



Any for your listenting pleasure, Caden's sonatina. Enjoy!

Some exciting news...

I would go into a whole story and all sorts of details, but I think Caden can explain it well enough in this picture.



Due Date: Dec 21st

Dada

Caden has been making lots of sounds for a long time, but this was a first. I was able to call Daniel on the phone as he was saying dada for the first time. It was so fun!!!

Laughing...

Notice, he never stops jumping. :-)

Caden enjoys snack time.

A little more mobile

Caden is getting ready to crawl. He has face planted numerous times in attempt to reach for something. He can't quite figure out how to get his legs up underneath him. He will stay in crawling stance if I place his legs correctly but he's unsure what to do after that.
Last week we went to the library and I had put him on the floor while I looked at the books on the shelf. Before I knew it he had reached out and tried to get the bottom shelf only to face plant right into the shelf. The lip of the shelf went right up into his mouth cutting his gums. Of course I was on the opposite side of the library from the bathroom... so we trucked our way across the library with all eyes turning towards us... me carrying a screaming crying baby with blood gushing from his mouth. Yeah, it was great! :-)

He also had his first bout with a cold and fever. He was alot more cuddly and a lot more fussy. You can tell in some of these pictures that he wasn't feeling the best. He's still getting over the runny nose part, but at least most of the fussiness is gone.

Loves tummy time now.

Not sure what to do.

Not feeling well.

This morning I was working the computer and had Caden on the floor with a few toys. I heard some rustling and looked over and found this.

He was having so much fun!!

What mom??

The Wind Storm

Kansas City was hit with a windstorm this morning, winds were at 70mph in some places. Daniel, Caden and I were laying in bed listening to the winds and commenting on how fierce they sounded. All of sudden we heard a loud crack. Daniel and I jumped out of bed and ran to our bedroom window. But we didn't see anything. So we didn't really think anything of it. Daniel started getting ready for work and I went into Caden's room to change his diaper. Then the doorbell rang. All I thought was, Oh crap!... I went downstairs and answered the door and our neighbors from across the street were standing there. And behind them was this...








The tree barely missed my car. Thank goodness. And had it fallen any other way our house, our neighbors house, or other cars would have been seriously damaged. Praise the Lord nothing was damaged and no one was hurt. That was our exciting start to the morning. :-)
