Starting to walk

Kayden is walking a little bit more every day! Its so cute to watch him walk. He's up to 15-20 steps at a time. We are super proud of him! He is also now on sippie cups, no more bottles, weaning off the pacifier and is about to switch to cows milk! So many milestones this week :0) Kayden is doing great with all of them, although I think the pacifier will be the hardest. But he is definately going with the flow and just enjoying life!

Working on walking...

almost there!

Did you know that the baggies come out of the box???

So stinkin cute

Baptism

I always knew that I wanted my kids to be baptized and its been a thought in my mind since Kayden was born. My main thing was to find the perfect church to welcome Kayden into the Christian world and to bless him. Well after several churches we finally found one we enjoy and Kayden was baptized this past Sunday! Kayden did wonderful during the service and when it was time to go to the front, Kayden just went right along with us. He seemed very interested in the water when Pastor Stan poured it into the baptismal bowl. And after he was baptized, Pastor Stan walked Kayden around the whole sanctuary to show him off, and he didn't seem to mind. Kayden did great and the service was wonderful. He is offically baptized!

Almost walking...

Kayden is learning how to walk! He can take around 4 steps by himself before he looses his balance. Its so much fun to help him learn. He is going to love his independence once he officially walks!

Dr visits....AGAIN!

How many times can we go to the doctor in a year.....currently we are at 6 and its only the beginning of March! Oy vey! We've gone from double ear infections, to RSV, back to the ear infection and now we have thrush. Thankfully we have a wonderful doctor who is super sweet, but we'd like to not have to visit her every other week.

With that being said we are still on amoxicillin from our ear infection (3 days left) and now we are something else (I don't remember what its called) for the thrush (another 10 days). Oh and tylenol for the fever and teething! I guess when it rains, it pours. Brett wants to possibly switch daycares, I'd rather just quit and keep him away from all the germs....but I highly doubt either of those options are going to work out. Until then, lets cross our fingers and hope this is the last round of medicine that we need for a while!

Is it bedtime yet?

Not in the mood to play....

But I'll still smile since I'm cute

Come snuggle with me!

Its March!

Its March which means another month closer to someone turning one! He's getting so big! He loves to cruise and crawl all over, he gets into everything (and I mean everything)! He just figured out how to open the kitchen cabinets this weekend, I guess that means we have a little more baby proofing to go... And he loves to make noise. If he can bang things together, against the wall or against other toys, thats what he does. If the house is every quiet he's either sleeping or getting into something he's not supposed to. ;0)

This past week was fairly normal, although we did make yet another trip to the dr only to find out we have an ear infection and goopy eyes. Which meant another round of amoxicillin and some eye drops. If you've ever had to put eye drops in a 9mo old's eyes, you would know that its Impossible!! Luckily tomorrow is the last day for eye drops! wooohooo! And then 5 more days of amoxicillin (next time we go to the dr Brett just wants to get a lifetime prescription since we've been on it 5 times already. Lol

Right now we are working on standing alone and walking! Kayden can stand for roughly 30 seconds without holding onto anything, and he can take about 2 steps before loosing his balance!! Soooo cute! He's getting there. We're working really hard on it. We'll post a video soon.

I'm adorable!

I don't wanna take a picture mom!

Like Papa like grandson (I think he's got a little Janway in him)

Cupcakes!

We have discovered that Kayden LOVES cupcakes!! He doesn't waste anytime when a cupcake is in front of him....he devours it! Last week he had his first cupcake at daycare and the teacher said it was gone before she could get the camera out. And this past weekend he had another cupcake at Adyson's 3rd birthday party. I think he will be a pro by the time his birthday gets here!

Nothing stands in my way....

Where did my cupcake go? 

Gotta get every last piece!

Can I have another one?

Mmmmm....cupcake!!!
