Fun in the Tub

Kade was having so much fun in the bathtub, that I couldn't help but take some pictures of him! He especially likes to put bubbles on his face.

Off To School

Kade already thinks it's time for him to go to school! I was washing my backpack, so I had it out with the clean laundry. Kade picked it up and was trying to figure out what it was. So I put it on his back to show him how to wear it, and then he just thought he was the coolest thing! He walked all over the house wearing it and did not want me to take it off of him. If it fell off, he brought it right to me so I could put it back on him. He does some of the funniest things!!

Can't Resist That Smile

Happy Late Valentine's Day

Happy late Valentine's Day from a little boy who is not very interested! This is the first time I could get him to sit still for a picture with his cards, but he didn't like that idea too much. It was so much easier last Valentine's Day when I could just pose him in a chair and he couldn't move!!

Rubbermaid Containers Make Great Toys!

We discovered that Kade really likes to get inside of Rubbermaid containers. We had a few empty ones sitting in the living room the other night, and Kade tipped them over so he could get in them. Bryan was pulling him around the kitchen floor and scared him a little bit. That's why he has a little bit of a shocked face in a couple of the pictures. Also he realized how to take his own shirt off. I couldn't keep a shirt on him that night. I got tired of fighting with him and just left it off!

Kade Riding His Tractor

Recently Kade has decided to try and ride his tractor that is not meant to be ridden on. He carried it into the living room the other night from his room, and I wasn't paying too close of attention to him. When I finally looked up, he was riding on the trailer of his tractor and actually scooting himself across the living room floor. I just couldn't help but crack up laughing! Then a few nights later I was telling my mom about it, and he started doing it again. He's so funny!

New Pictures (not so new actually)

Here are the last professional pictures that Kade had taken. They were his Halloween and Christmas pictures. They were actually taken on November 17, but I'm just getting around to posting them.

Boomer Sooner

My two Sooner fans, aren't they cute?

Happy Boy

Our little boy is feeling back to normal!

Kade has RSV

Every one has been sick at our house lately. First, I had a stomach virus. Then Kade got it. Then Jake and Bryan both got it too. Finally every one seemed to be okay, and Kade was well for only 2 days. Then he started getting a cough. We just thought it was the typical cough, but it got worse by Tuesday. So, Jake took him to the doctor, and we found out he had RSV. They wanted to keep him in the hospital, but since we bought the breathing machine, they let him come home. He was just coughing all the time and having a hard time sleeping. They put him on medication, and we had to do breathing treatments every 4 hours, even during the night. I took him back to the doctor today for a checkup, and everything seems to be getting back to normal. His doctor said to continue with the breathing treatments until he is completely well, but he said that Kade no longer has any junk in his lungs. So we are thankful for that! He is almost himself again. He is 16 months old now and weighs 26 lbs. 3 oz. He is 31 1/4 inches long. Here are a couple pictures of Jake and Kade lounging on the couch when they were both sick with the stomach virus.


Poor little sick baby boy.

A Big Snow

We had a pretty good snow today. It snowed for several hours this afternoon. Uncle Bryan took Kade outside to see the snow, and here are a couple pictures of them. Kade is making his "O" face. He was just saying "Ohh," the whole time they were outside and was trying to catch the snowflakes. He really liked it! I can't wait until he's old enough to play in the snow and remember it.

Kade's First Haircut

Before haircut













After haircut

Kade had his first hair cut today. He did really well! He didn't want to pose for the pictures, but he did great while getting his hair cut. He sat on my lap, and just let Kandace cut it without any problems. Then I got my hair cut too, and he continued sitting on my lap. He probably wouldn't have sat so still any other day, but he's been sick. And all he wants to do is sit on Mom's lap. He looks so grown up now. I just can't get over how much he looks like a little boy!

All Bundled Up

Here are a couple pictures of Kade all bundled up in his warm winter coat after church.
He loves to talk on the phone!

So Silly!

Uncle Bryan & Kade were playing together, and Kade had a wet wipe that he kept throwing at Bryan. So Bryan started putting it on Kade's head. Kade thought it was so funny to run around the living room with it on his head. He didn't care if he could see or not!

Papa & Kade

Grammy & Papa came over to visit us, and we were all eating pizza for dinner. And guess who Kade ran straight for? Of course, Papa. Kade definitely knows who to beg from!

Kade at Jeanie's House

Here are some pictures of Kade playing at Jeanie's house while I am at school. One day I came to pick him up, and she told me that he got in the shower and was taking all the bottles out. She got a few pictures of him playing in the shower. He also loves to eat sherbert while he's there.

Helping Mommy

Kade and I were doing laundry, and he decided that he wanted to crawl into the dryer. Here he's trying to empty the lint trap.
Look at the orneriness on that face!
He loves helping me do laundry! That's one of his favorite things to do.

Kade Playing

Kade likes to go over to our wood floor and throw his balls around and drive his cars. Here are a few pictures of him playing ball and playing with his truck.

Happy 26th Birthday Mommy

Today we went to Arkansas to my grandparent's house to celebrate Christmas and my birthday with them. Kade got to open another present! He was a little interested.

Merry Christmas

This morning we did Christmas at our house, and Santa brought Kade a ride-on zebra. He really likes it! Then we went to my grandparent's house for lunch. Later we went to Jake's parent's house for dinner and to open presents. This was another long day for Kade, but he had a lot of fun. We finally got him to open one gift!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we went to my dad's house in the afternoon and ate and opened presents. Then we went to Tom & Jeanie's house in the evening and had Christmas with my mom and Bruce too. We went out to eat dinner at the Chinese buffet, and then came back to Tom & Jeanie's house to visit and open gifts. Kade was so worn out afterward, but he had a good time. We couldn't get him to open any presents though.

Kade Feeding Himself

I let Kade feed himself for the first time today. I was feeding him yogurt, and he wanted me to give him the spoon. So I did, and he started trying to put it down in the yogurt container. So I went ahead and let him. He made the biggest mess! But it was worth it. He made me laugh a lot!

Oh, Kade has 11 teeth now. It came in on the 17th. This one's on the bottom, three spaces to the right.

Playing in the Snow

It snowed at our house today. We took Kade out to play for a few minutes, since it was so cold. He really had fun trying to catch all the snowflakes. Hopefully we will get some more so he can really play in it. This snow didn't even stick on the ground.

Wearing Daddy's Houseshoes

We decided to put Jake's house shoes on Kade. At first he didn't mind it too much.
But the longer we left them on him, the madder he got!
