Walking Around the Coffee Table

Yesterday we went down to see Jimmie's family, only an hour away. After dinner, the boys we're playing with Kaden and making him "work" for want he wanted.



This is the only walking that he can do right now, I'm wondering how long it's going to be before his starts actually walking. :P

Beach Party!

This past weekend we took a trip down to St. Joseph, MI for some "vacation time". Saturday afternoon, Jimmie and I met up with one of Jimmie's high school buddies and went to the beach while Kaden stayed with Jimmie's grandmother. The weather was nice, a bit windy, but the water was freezing. While we were gone, Debra, Jimmie's mom, called and asked to take Kaden for the night. We agreed since this was kind of a little vacation for the two of us. On Sunday, Debra, Jim and Bobby along with Kaden came over to Jimmie's grandmother's house for Sunday dinner. It was nice time since we hadn't seen them for about four weeks or so. After lunch, Jimmie, Kaden, Jim, Bobby, and I went back to the beach. It was warmer than Saturday, but the water stayed the same, so me and Kaden stayed on the beach while the boys played in the water. After a while, the guys went for a walk to find Jimmie's cousin, so me and Kaden took a nap under our Ping golf umbrella. (I would show you pictures from the days, but Jimmie left the camera in a friend's car).
All in all it was a pretty nice weekend for us.

On another note, we are going to have an ultrasound this evening and be able to find out what the sex of the baby is. I'm so excited about I can hardly wait.

First Time Swimming!

Last night we took Kaden to the community, which has open swim every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30-8:30pm. He did surprisingly better than I thought he would do. It was and indoor pool, and even though they "said" the water was 82 degrees, it was cold. Jimmie got in first and held Kaden while I got in. He did pretty well considering his legs were the only part of him under water. When I was holding him, I tried bouncing a little then dipping him a little bit more so that his upper body could get wet as well, but he didn't like that. Hopefully he will do better this weekend when we take him to the grandparents' house, who have and outdoor, heated salt water pool.

Until next, happy swimming and summer fun time!

WOW!!!!!!!!!

Oh, my gosh I have almost forgot about this blog! And I apologize for that. I'm sure a lot of you are wondering what is up. Well for starters, I am now about 19 weeks along with the pregnancy. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday and hopefully that same week we will have an ultrasound. Kaden is growing fast. He's really crawling now, not just the army scooting. He can also pull himself up and walk around the coffee table. We are also looking into getting a house, because the place we're in now is just a rental and we would rather see the money spent a better way. Our lease is up at the end of November, so we are getting a good start on hunting. We're not sure what we'll be able to get, but we are looking at every possibility and also into everything else that goes along with purchasing a house. We want this to our best decision, so we're being very cautious about everything. Well, I think that is all for now on the update. I'll try to do better this next time around to keep up with it.

FUNNY PICTURES!

Yesterday afternoon, Kaden went over to Jimmie's Father and step-mother's house for the evening. When we went to pick him up at 9pm he was awake, so we decided to play with him a bit. Jim, Jimmie's father, was laying on the floor with Kaden sitting on his neck and blowing Kaden's hair up as he looked down on Grandpa. He was making such funny faces that Jimmie was able to capture them. They are hilarious!

Oops!!!

Tuesday I forgot to post about Kaden's 6 month well check at the doctor's. He's grown sufficiently since the last time we saw her (aka January). He weighs 14 lbs. 2 oz, 26 3/4 in long, and a head circumference of 43 cm. He's still a little guy, but that's ok. head circumference and length were both on the percentile curves, however, his weight was still a little under the curve. She also heard a slight heart murmur, but assured us that it is very common for children his age to get them. Just to make sure that it isn't anything to worry about, we are seeing a cardiologist on Wednesday. Other than that he is still eating large amounts, 40 oz a day, with two feedings of fruits mixed with cereal. He is also getting very good at moving around and scooting. Not actually crawling just yet, but rocking on his hands and knees more. here are a few pictures and a video to give you an idea.

Big News!

For about two weeks now I have been afraid that I might be pregnant, because I haven't been on the pill since Kaden was 3 months old. Luckily I didn't get pregnant in January. However, During February I was getting a little nervous about the whole situation hoping by the end of the month that I won't be. Well, sure enough when I took a test this morning...

I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!

Both of us are real excited about it. Kaden and his new sibling will be 15 months apart. We figured that it would be better this way than have them spread about. Now they can be really close, almost like twins. We have a girl's name already when we found out about Kaden, but now we're having some trouble figuring out another boy's name. Jimmie wants to use his late grandfather's name, Edmund, as the middle name but I'm still wanting one of my family's name to be used. Not sure which one yet. Maybe my father's middle name where I got my middle name from, Llewellyn(the italized part is my middle name). Now we're just stuck on the first name for the baby. So if anyone has any suggestions, please leave a comment.
