Kaden wearing his Dad's shirt!!!
Trying to escape!!
His basketball hoop he got from Santa!Happy New Year to everyone! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Aunt Patti asked for some new pictures on Kaden and since we are late getting Christmas cards out (they will be coming) I thought I would post a few pictures and let everyone know what he has been up to.
Kaden is growing like a weed and finding new things to get into everyday:) He loves playing in the toilet and unrolling the toilet paper. If he is not doing that, he is dragging around any garbage can he can find and throwing whatever is in his path into it. He loves the dishwasher and thinks he is fooling Mom when he takes out the silverware and hides them in the cupboard with the pots and pans. Books are his main love! And when he wants you to read --- he means NOW (pretty sure he has got Grandpa's temper!) Brian has even reverted to hiding the books inbetween the cushions so he does not have to read them 8oo times. However, Kaden has now caught on to Dad's trick and goes and looks in the couch to see what he can find. He loves going to see Grandma and Grandpa! He will start clapping when we turn the corner. He has figured out that he gets whatever he wants with them:) He also loves harrassing Copper. Whenever Copper heads into the kitchen, Kaden follows and as soon as Copper turns around and heads to the living room, Kaden starts running as fast as he can to the nearest person because he thinks Copper is after him. He can play this game for hours. (Poor Copper!) He is jabbering all the time and Brian and I are pretty sure that he is telling us off most of the time. He is really starting to mimic what we say, however, he does say a few words on his own. He can say "up" "backpack" if asked what the sheep says, he says "BAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and what does Santa say, he says "OH OH OH" (kinda of a evil sounding Santa). The latest words we are trying to teach him is "big brother!" Yes, you read that right, Kaden is going to be a BIG BROTHER in August! Brian and I are very excited and are trying to slowly get Kaden used to the fact that he will no longer be the center on attention. We figure it is going to be a interesting transition and he might just decide to move in with Grandma and Grandpa FOREVER! However, with this news we also have to let everyone know that it means we will not be coming to the reunion in August. Yes Kelli, I know you said no excuses, but I think this one is a pretty good one. We wish we ould come, we have heard nothing but how great is is up there, so everyone will have to take pictures for us. Now that the word is out, Grandma can relax about it slipping.
Here are a few more pictures of the little guy!

Kaden loves to hide in any little space he can find!
The Santa hat he wore last year -- fits a little snug this year:)
Kaden continues to brighten our days. He never lets us forget how simply life is and reminds us often to stop and enjoy the little things. With that, we wish you all a very happy new year filled with many blessing!

Congratulations!
Great news and great pictures.
Love,
Patti
I watch a 2 year old twice a week, and here is a great website for kids books
http://www.sillybooks.net/
It has some great books and songs for kids. Some of them are written by kids and then the site animates or sets them to music.
The beauty of this, is the book plays, then all you have to do is click replay at the end of the book.
I can never figure out why Joe (2 year old) likes the ones he does. One of his favorites is Grandma's squeeky gate.

Congratulations!! How exciting. You will have your hands full, but it will be so fun too. Great pictures of Kaden, so cute. Glad to hear you had a good Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well.
We are so happy for you and can't wait to meet the new baby! However we are disappointed that you won't be at the family gathering...but totally understand and will keep our fingers crossed that you will be at the next one. Congrats and thanks for all of the pictures of Kaden...he is so adorable!
Love,
Kelli
Congratulations!! I am so excited for you and jealous of your mom! We will miss you at the cabin but now that gives me a good reason to come to Dickinson in the fall. I love the pictures - Kaden is getting so big - He will be a great Big Brother!
Love Jake - Happy New Year!
Congratulations! Any time Brian is sick of reading the same book over and over, drop Kaden off at our house -- Hillary LOVES showing off her new reading skills, and she'll read to any captive audience!!
