Sneak peak at Kaden's One Year Photos

Here is just one sneak peak at Kaden's one year photo shoot. He wouldn't smile at all, but we were still able to get some REALLY cute pictures!! He wouldn't stay in one place for more than a second. If he was standing, most of the shots were of him walking away as they were shooting the pictures. If he was sitting, most of the shots were of him crawling away. What a challenge, but again, that didn't stop us from capturing some excellent photos of our adorable little "toddler" with the rebel personality. This is one of my favorites. More to come shortly. CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT THAT CUTE LITTLE FACE!!!!

Getting Ready for Jeremy's wedding....

We purchased Kaden's outfit for his cousin's (Jeremy) wedding a month or so ago and since the wedding is now this Friday, I thought it was time to try it on and see how it looks and if it fits. I'll let you be the judge on that.....

Still Kracking up with Kaden.....

Kaden wasn't crazy with excitement to ride the pony. They tried to take him for a ride, but he was clinging to daddy for dear life; however, he did reluctantly pose for a few pictures!! This picture was taken at our neighbor's birthday party, Isabella, who also just turned a year old! We'll have to keep a close eye on those two, they already love to kiss (on the lips) when they see each other!!!

Kaden the rocker dude!!

Kaden, just being his everyday cute kid!!!

It's still hard to believe that Kaden is a year old. He had his 1 year check up yesterday, 6/3/09. He is such a trooper, having 4 shots in his legs. He still has a bump on his leg from one of his 6 month shots and the doctor said that may never go away. Here are his stats:

Weight 22.7 pounds (50th percentile)

Height 30.5 inches (60th percentile)

Head circumference 18.25 inches (65th percentile)

Kaden is definitely on the move, always has to be down walking, but is still wobbly, but gets more steady every day. He loves to stand in his crib and jump. He is such a happy baby. The doctor gave the official okay to take him off formula and give him table food. She wants to see him off the bottle by 15 months (yikes). He has very little interest in using a cup, so we'll have to be more persistent. He has such a sweet personality and loves to be the center of attention and if he's not, he'll "yell" saying AHHHH very loudly to get everyone's attention and that definitely works, no matter where we are. He loves to babble and make funny faces just to make us laugh. Kaden has brought more joy to our lives than we could have ever imagined!!

Kaden's First Birthday!!

It's hard to believe that Kaden is already 1 year old. Here are a few pics of his first birthday and ironically, his first tooth!!! The picture where he is crying, poor thing, I was putting his hat on and the elastic slipped and stung him, ouch. We love you Kaden!!

Kaden will do anything to get a toy......

Kaden walking and daddy (well, you'll see)....

Hey Christy...are we cute or what????

Just too Cute!!!

Happy Birthday Gram!!!

What's a driver's license and registration, officer????

I'll be on my way now, have a good day!!! Hey, Uncle Bill, thanks for covering for me....that was a close one!!!!

A few more cute pics of Happy Happy Kaden....

One second sitting, the next split second standing...

I turn my back to grab Kaden's clothes and he went from sitting to standing in a split second. He's so fast these days......

Kaden is on the move....

I thought Kaden was going to walk before he crawled, but I'm not so sure about that now.

April Showers Bring May Flowers.....

Gearing up to get drenched in my new digs!!! Rain, Rain, Go Away......

My Cousin Ty.....

Here are a few pictures of my cousin Ty from New Jersey. We had fun together this weekend in New Jersey. He had a really good fortune from the Chinese Restaurant that gave him super Ninja power!!!!

Also in these pictures are other family members, to mention a few...Ella, Ya Ya, Jenna and of course me (Kaden)!!!

Look Ma....No Hands......

Professor Kaden.....

Kaden at 9 months....

Kaden keeps us VERY busy, hence the reason for the time between posts.

Kaden's 9-month check-up...
Weight 20 lbs 5 ounces (40th percentile)
Height 29 inches (60th percentile)

No shots this time, but doctor routinely orders blood work (CBC and lead since the lead was found in toys). This was very traumatic for Kaden and mommy. They stuck him with the needle, missed the vein, and then prodded and poked for what seemed like an eternity, until I finally said I think it's time to stop and try another day. We have yet to do that, but since mommy had such a hard time, daddy will be taking him for his blood work a day this week. Apparently, there is a phlebotomist that is good with babies who wasn't there at the time of his blood work. I wish they would have told me that before hand, I would have waited.

Again, Kaden is a handful. We are still patiently waiting for those first teeth to pop through. He may sleep through the night once or twice a week, but on the norm gets us once during the night. He hates being on his tummy and will roll over instantly in protest. Since he doesn't like his belly, he doesn't crawl, but he is walking when holding one hand, but very wobbling. He will take off on his own if you don't hold onto him good, but again, too wobbly to even think about that.

I have included some current professional photos (our favorites). He did very well at the photo shoot, but the "real" bunny was a bit scared!! At least we got 1 picture of the front of the bunny, in all the other pictures, all you saw was the bunny's back side, as he was running away from the grips of Kaden!!!

All Dressed up (kindda).....

Sneak Peak at Kaden in his Christening Outfit.....

Kaden will be baptized on 02/21/2009, but here are a few sneak peak pictures before the big event!!! It was pretty obvious that he didn't like the outfit, he was really squirmy. It's a little big, but I think he looks adorable!!!
