1st Christmas
This year we had two 1st with Christmas, of course it was Kaden's but also we did Christmas on our own and it turned out great!!! I have to admit that it was great to have the web cam so it felt like we were all together for a bit but it runs in the family that when we're hungry we must eat and that was the case for Kaden while we watched. LOL
Christmas Eve we went and spent the day with Bryann and her family and had a blast!!! The kids hadn't seen Kaden since his hair cut and he can stand so they thought that was great and Kaden didn't mind the attention. Tayson and Kaden had a good time together chatting a bit and sharing a few smiles. I was surprised how soft Kaden was. Tayson is sure growing fast!!!
Dinner was soooooo good, Steak, shrimp, mashed potatoes ( I added a little extra love but they were still good) and all the trimmings. Big Hit.
As tradition stands the kids were able to open one present Christmas Eve, pjs from Aunt Sandy, and they looked so cute. All the boys matched and then the girls matched. We talked to Mom and Dad on the web cam, Kaden's favorite, which was a ton of fun too.
Kaden opened his gifts from Bryann, Eric, and the kids then we headed home with a very tired little boy.
Christmas started at about 6:30am but not with Kaden getting up.... no it was Aaron. Figures that this would be the day that the weeks routine would kick in. (wink) Kaden got up about 7:00am and we got on the web cam with the family. He had a hard time paying attention to his gifts because he wanted to talk and soon was ready to eat so we signed off and had a quick bowl of cereal. He opened the gifts from Mom and Dad, but we were surprised that he wasn't more into the paper. After that we turned on the cartoons and put together his toys and he was happy as can be.
When he went down for his nap I made a real Christmas breakfast; pancakes, eggs, and ham!!! I was so proud of myself and is was soooo good. Kinda funny after we got everything cleaned up it felt like any other day but Kaden had older toys and it was a blast to watch him play.
Brooks called Mom and Dad and they called me, it worked out that the place where Brooks is staying has Skype!!! I was so excited because Kaden and Brooks were able to see each other for the 1st time, loved it. Kaden was a goof and gave him some great smiles which was perfect.
Christmas was wonderful and we're looking forward to the New Year

Great Get Away
We took our first family vacation and combined that with Kaden's first airplane ride and had a great time. Perfect timing to take a trip to see Mom and Dad leaving the cold snowy weather for no snow and jacket weather!!! 
he wanted Mom's earings but her hair was in the way so he would try to move it. Goof ball
I was worried about how the flight would be but Kaden was a champ, the first flight was quick and pain free. When we touched down from the second it was 2 hours past his bed time and he was ready to be done. He got upset but the other passengers were really nice and said they know just how he felt. 
Once he saw he had their attention he calmed down and waved to everyone as we got off the plane. Walking through the airports he would wave and say "hi" to whoever was around, got quite a few smiles.
We had 9 days of shopping and family, Kaden loved having all the space at Mom and Dads to explore and learned many new tricks. 
Dad was so kind as to teach him to shake his head so now when we make the smallest motions he starts shaking away, LOL. He also learned to crawl on his knees chasing after a ball Mom was playing with him.
he was such a help putting up the Christmas decorations...
he wasn't sure just what he thought of them.
Durling, he sat so good thanks to Mom for keeping his attention.
And After..... We also got his picture with Santa and he did so good, no tears.
I can't believe how much older he looks with his hair cut and his new found independence.
Found him standing in bed bouncing when he was suppose to be taking a nap, this new step keeps us laughing and amazed at what he is able to do. Can't believe how fast he is growing. Watch for more pictures to follow but I must admit this is not a bad start.

He also learned to crawl on his knees chasing after a ball Mom was playing with him.He still army crawls for the most part but when he had just his diaper on and went into the kitchen with the tile he was up on all 4 trying to keep his stomach off the cold floor until he hit the carpet and back to the army style.
We took a trip to Old Town and couldn't get enough of being outside and breathing in the fresh air without or noise freezing. (wink)
