Oh Christmas Tree

We went to cut down our Christmas tree. Mackinna was a big helper in picking and even tried to cut it down herself. Kaden really just slept, after he got over the initial furry of being in his snowsuit for the first time...

Another Mackinna-ism

We were at Target the other day and walked past the bras. Mackinna pointed to them and said, "Look Mommy, boob things." I told her they were called bras. She agreed, "yeah... boob things."

We have so much to be thankful for...

Happy Thanksgiving!

love,

Mackinna and Kaden, Mark and Christine

Its a boy!

Kaden is so excited. He just found out today that Uncle Shawn and Aunt Jill are having a baby boy. Saturday when he was at Grandma's with Mackinna, Jada and Marina while they were playing hair dresser, he was worried that he'd end up with ribbons in his hair. He was feeling pretty out numbered, so he's glad that his little cousin will be a boy for him to play with.

Big Boy Update

Kaden is nearly 4 months old now and we just got back from his doctor's appointment.
Here are his stats:
length- 26.5 " (95%)
weight- 18lbs 14 oz (97%)
Its no wonder my arms get tired lugging him around!

Love

Today when I told Mackinna I loved her, her response was, "I love Kaden too." I said what about Mommy? She replied, "I love Kaden oooo much." (She's not so good with S all the time.) I guess I know where I stand.

I told you she changes his diaper!

Here is Mackinna changing Kaden's diaper....

"Hi Kaden"

Mackinna has been waking up in the night and coming into our bed pretty much every night since Kaden was born. (Yes it makes for a crowded bed, but at least the dogs sleep on the floor now) By the time she wakes up in the morning Kaden is usually in bed with us too, so most mornings she sees him as soon as she opens her eyes. With excitement in her little voice, the first words out of her mouth each day are, "Hi Kaden!" ... like she's really truly thrilled to see him. This morning he was jabbering away, so opens her eyes and rolls over, then says, "Oh yeah Kaden?" I seriously can't get over how darn cute she is with him.

Storytime with Mackinna

Here is Mackinna reading to her little brother. She tells him to be a good listener, and he obeyed!

A concert by Kaden

Kaden played the piano for us yesterday. The kid has talent!
