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.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Company's Coming!!

Today I was frantically cleaning the house because we have some friends from college coming to visit us tomorrow. I started in the upstairs this morning with the front room and the kitchen. Then after Kaden woke up from his nap and finished eating, I tidied up the downstairs, while running a couple of loads of laundry. Kaden has really been growing. He's now scooting himself across the floor to get to something he wants. I have a video here for you to see him in action.

A Wonderful Valentine's

Well, I was so surprised at what Jimmie had planned for us Wednesday night. First, we went to dinner at a Japanese Steakhouse where they cook the food right in front of you on a flat grill. I had the Fillet Milgon and Jimmie had Steak and Chicken. He also ordered a Dragon Maki which is a sushi roll that he really enjoys. Here are some pictures.




Apparently he had also rented a hotel room for us that night because he had a reservation somewhere at 2am and didn't think we would want to drive all the way home afterwards. Well, come to find out the place that we were going to at 2am was called Oasis Hot Tub Gardens. They have these exclusive hot tub rooms some inside some outside that you can rent for an hour. And each room has a theme from different countries and cities around the world. We got the British Isles Room and is was outside. Man was it cold walking over to the tub, but it was wonderful and relaxing.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

We finally got a crib for Kaden! For Christmas my mom got the bedding set for us but we couldn't set it up because we didn't have a crib yet. But Saturday I went to Babies R Us and found one that I liked, we put it together when I got home. And this is what it looks like.

Yesterday we took a drive down to Jimmie's mom because she had offered to take Kaden for a couple of night's so that me and Jimmie could have tonight to ourselves even though it is her anniversary. But Jim is usually out of town and the celebrate on the weekend. So Kaden won't be with us until tomorrow.

Plus I have no idea what Jimmie has planned for us tonight. I think it's the first Valentine's Day that we can actually do something. Last year we were still in college. So I'm very excited to see what happens tonight.

Jimmie, Alyssa, Kaden, and Benjamin
