Visit with Santa

Caden's first visit with Santa

Merry Christmas from Caden!!

Caden has visited with Santa twice now. He met him at our church's Pumpkin and Holly Fair the weekend before Thanksgiving. Then he met him again this past weekend at the Fire House Christmas Party where Santa arrived in a fire truck! Both times he met Santa, he was fine at first and then when Santa began to talk to him, he started to cry. Maybe we will have better luck next year.

Thanks to Grammy Pammy's friend, Jill, we have a great Christmas card photo this year. She took pictures of Caden over the Thanksgiving weekend. He was a good sport as you can see in the photo above. He even managed to pee on the lights and they went out!

Fun in December

Caden's favorite show is The Wiggles. Jason won't let him watch Barney, but I say The Wiggles aren't any better! You would get a laugh out of Jay now that he dances around and sings songs with The Wiggles. I have got to get a photo of that!
Caden enjoys taking a bath in the kitchen sink.

December has been a busy month already! Just thought I would share some pics of Caden with his friends. We went to visit my college friend, Jenn, and her kids in Massachusetts. Landon is about a month younger than Caden and Bella (not pictured here) is my Goddaughter. It was fun for Caden to be able to play with someone his age. We also had a playdate with the Mysirlidis family. Dimitri was born two days after Caden. He has two older brothers and Caden had fun playing with them, too!

I am big kid now! Caden is holding his own bottle - finally!

Happy Thanksgiving....a little late!

Yummy mashed potatoes!!
Our First Thanksgiving!

Jason keeps teasing me for not keeping the blog updated....my answer is for him to do it since he seems to think that I have so much time on my hands! You've gotta love husbands!


Caden is almost 9 months old already. We celebrated Thanksgiving at Gerald and Michelle's house. Caden enjoyed some turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes with us. He is enjoying eating our food which makes our lives a whole lot easier, too. Caden is rolling all over the place and likes to hold onto things and stand up...but still no crawling. He gets up on all fours like is about to, but then plops down on his belly and sometimes his face! It is only a matter of time before we will be chasing him everywhere! We are busy getting ready for our First Christmas with our little guy!
