A week of 1st times for Kaiden....

This week was full of firsts for Kaiden!

He sat in a high chair at a restaurant for the first time. He did very well! We were able to keep him entertained the entire time that we were there! He looked like such a big boy!

He also had his first play date with Truett. Truett is the son of our friends Justin and Celeste. Truett will be 1 in a few weeks. He was so sweet to Kaiden! And Kaiden enjoyed all his toys!

Kaiden also tried out his swing at Grandma and Grandpa's house for the first time. He loved it! He loves being outside so much. He enjoyed swinging and watching the trees move in the wind. He was so relaxed he ended up falling right to sleep! Grandma and him are going to have so much fun with the new swing.
Also Kaiden started wearing pajamas to bed! I know this is an unusual first, but he has been wearing only a onesie to bed since he came home from the hospital! He is very hot natured. Since it is starting to get cooler at night we decided to starting putting him in his warm pj's. So far he seems to be enjoying the warmth =)

Kaiden is 1/2 a year old!

Wow how time flies! Everyone always says that children grow so fast, but until you have your own it's hard to really believe. Kaiden has brought so much joy to our family! We are enjoying every minute with him! These are a few pictures from this week.
I took these pictures after church this morning. Kaiden loves being outside! What a happy 6 month old boy!

Kaiden LOVES his jumperoo! He will jump for hours if we let him. It is hilarious to watch him in it- keeps us laughing!

Kaiden loves playing with Addison! (the dogs love playing with them too!) Addison is exactly one month older than Kaiden. She is sitting well by herself, as you can see Kaiden still needs a little help! He can sit by himself but he still loses balance when he reaches for a toy- he's almost there! The bumbo chair comes in handy for this.

We started letting Kaiden have a sippy cup after dinner to start getting him used to it. He doesn't really care for it so far! He does however like chewing on the spout. I think he will love it once he gets the hang of it!

First Football game...

So yesterday Teddy had his first football game of the season! I took Kaiden to watch. I was a little concerned because the game did not start until 7:30pm which is about the time he usually goes to bed. Considering he LOVES to be outside I thought just maybe he would make it through! I was right, He LOVED it! He was so interested in everything that was going on. The lights, music, football, people, yelling, cheering kept him entertained for hours. He stayed awake for the entire game and did not get upset even once =) His daddy was proud! Because I had my hands full during the game I didn't get any pictures, however when we got home at 11:30 pm he was still going strong! Here are the pictures of our little football fan.

Tonight we went out to dinner and Daddy dressed him up in his UT jersey that Grandma got for him. He looked so handsome!

Some new things about Kaiden!

Last night I sat Kaiden down in his vibrating chair while I put away some laundry, a few seconds later he sat all the way up in the chair by himself. He thought it was so cool that he could do this!He is really getting good at it - soon he will be sitting up!


Kaiden has also been cruising around the house in his walker that Mason gave us. He LOVES it! His favorite thing is to chase max and cole (our dogs ) around the house. He is so amazed by the dogs- everything they do is hilarious to him!




I can't believe he will be 6 months next week! It is amazing how fast they grow and learn!

Spending time with Daddy

Well Football season has officially started! This means that we don't get to see Teddy that often. He works 7 days a week and stays very busy with practice and games. Kaiden is definitely missing his daddy after spending all summer with him. So to make up for lost time Teddy makes sure to get up with him every morning and I try my hardest to keep him up until he gets home in the evening. Kaiden loves to spend time with his daddy when he gets home form work.

Pictures of our new home

I finally took a few pictures of our new home. They are not the best because the sun was beaming through the windows at the time I took them. I will take some new ones at a later date- and get some pictures of the bedrooms up. Everything is still a work in progress! We have been here almost 2 months now. We are enjoying our new home!

Catching up!

We have had a very busy summer! We sold our old house in 4 days- and have now moved into our new home in Nolanville. We have been wanting to build or buy a house in this neighborhood for over a year now, so we are excited that it has finally happened! We are pretty much all unpacked and settled in now. It is nice to have much more space!

Kaiden is now 5 months old! He is growing and changing so much everyday. He got to spend the entire summer with Daddy. They had a blast!

Things that Kaiden is doing now:

Rolling over from front to back. He ends up sleeping on his tummy with his bottom in the air now!






He talks all the time. And loves making high pitched noises and giggling!
















He can sit unsupported for a few minutes before toppling over.











He eats cereal and has tried peas, green beans, and sweet potatoes so far. He loves them all!






He weighs 19 pounds and is 27 inches long.






He can hold his own bottle and even tries to feed himself with a spoon. This makes dinner time a little messy =) He is going to be a very independent little boy.













It is amazing how much he has grown over the past two months! This is such a fun stage!


We haven't taken any pictures of the new house yet. I plan to do that this weekend and get them posted!
