Public School

Dear Kayden,

The amount of school shootings is very worring for me. Just this morning there was a shooting in Ohio. It is so sad. What makes it even worse is the fact that students are the ones doing the shootings! Children shouldnt have access to guns!

It makes me want to home school you but I know you need the socialization. But if we live somewhere with private schools I will come up with the money for you to go there!

Love,

mommy

My lil missionary

Dear Kayden,

So remember how your Uncle Chris came to your baby blessing? I know you can't remember that day but you might remember from the blog post. Well after that he was asking lots of question about the church!

And last night I got a text saying he was being baptized today! I am so happy for him. It all started at your baby blessing! You are already a missionary before you can even talk. It means so much to me that more of our family is coming back to the church or joining the church so we can all be together forever!

I am just so proud of you! I can't wait until you actually go on a mission and spread the gospel to the world. Actually I can wait cause I don't want my baby to grow up!

Love,

mommy

Standing up & Sleeping in crib

Dear Kayden,

Lately you have been pulling yourself up from sitting to standing! I am so excited. Hopefully you will be walking soon. Your Aunt Callista might be getting married this summer and wants you walking so you can be in it.

You have slept in your crib the last couple nights. Its been great. Now you just need to sleep through the night!

You have started saying mama!!! I love it. You say it over and over. It makes me so happy.

Also your nana is coming up this weekend! She will be here todayand is staying the night.

Love,

mommy

7 months!

Dear Kayden,

You are already 7 months old! It is crazy!

You are doing really good in your crib lately. I nurse you to sleep then your daddy puts you in your crib and rolls you onto your tummy. It works great as long as your music box is on.

You sit up great. You can stand leaning on something. You are sleeping in your crib(mostly). You are eating a ton!

We are even letting you have rice sometimes. Your nana started it. We just have continued it.

Today we even let you try a jolly rancher. I held onto it while you sucked on it. The first 3 sucks you didnt like it but after that you loved it!

Here are you 7 month photos

Needless to say you are the cutest baby ever!

Love,

mommy

New apartment and new things!

Dear Kayden,

You have been loving the new place!

You think the rug is so soft! You rub it and lay your face on it!

You have a cute little reading corner in the living room! Your daddy and I love to read to you there.

We also got you a new chair that you love to sit in!

You have been learning lots of new things too!!

You are sitting up so good! We can actually leave you sitting up on the floor and you do great!

You are doing really good in your car seat now too!!

You can push yourself up amazingly well. But mostly just to watch tv or to scream!

You have learned how to hold up your bottle. Well more of you are still learning cause its a little heavy for you. But you are slowly getting it. You are actually starting to take a bottle better too!!

And if I lean you up against the back of your chair you can STAND!!! All on your own! Im so proud!!

We just gotta work on you pulling up to the sitting and standing position now! I love how much you grow everyday now!

Love,

Mommy

Snuck into bed last night

Dear Kayden,

Last night we had you down in your crib! It was great! So we went to bed and promptly passed out.

Around 2:30 I woke up and you were in bed with us....

I woke up your dad and asked him how you got there. Noone knows. I think he did cause he use to sleep walk but I was also in the position to breast feed you. So I had to have done part of it.

Who knows how it happened it'll be a mystery.

I am trying to get you to nap in your crib today.

Wish me luck!

Love,

Mommy

Mommy n Me Class

Dear Kayden,

Today we went to a Mommy and baby exercise class! I didn't realize how out of shape I was. Most of the class was exercising while carrying you! Since you weigh 20 lbs it was a good work out!! Part of it was yoga. Part was a baby massage! It was so fun. It was a great way for us to bond. I loved it. You laughed and really seemed to love it!

We are going every week!

Love,

Mommy

Moving.... and another cold

Dear Kayden,

You sure have caught a lot of colds. This one is the worst. Runny nose and a cough! I hate it and feel so bad. Its hard for you to breathe but when I clean out your nose you get so mad!!

On the upside we moved! Its a much bigger apartment! I am so excited. We moved a couple days ago.

That morning you got your 6 month shots. They went pretty well. Best so far. You screamed of course but you calmed down pretty fast this time.

You are almost 20 lbs now and are over 22 inches long! You are in the 85th percentile!

You are so big!

Love,

Mommy
