Drinking the bath water

Dear Kayden,

Remember how I told you I let you try to swim in the bath. Well I have had to stop that cause you keep trying to drink the water! Not just sipping it. Throwing your whole face in it! This of course results in choking and coughing. Which always scares me. So no more of that.

But of course you have found a way around it. You did your hand in the water then suck it dry and repeat. Thats my stubborn boy. Hopefully you work this hard at other things in your life when you are older. We can hope.

Well today is th first of November, which means THANKSGIVING!! YAY. I know this doesnt mean much to you because you just drink milk and occasionally eat rice cereal. But next year you will love it. Maybe Ill let you have some mashed potatoes this year :).

Lately you have been waking up 4-5 times a night. Your father and I would really appreciate if you would start sleeping for atleast 3 hours straight! That would be great and I don't think its too much to ask!!

Love always,

Mommy

1st Trunk of Treat

Dear Kayden,

Techinically tomorrow is Halloween but this weekend we celebrated it.

We went to our ward party just for an hour on friday. Then we headed up to your nanas.

Saturday we carved pumpkins. Then we went trunk or treating at nanas ward.

 You were the cutest lil tiger. We got lots of candy. Yay for being a mom with a lil one that can't eat the candy yet!

We had lots of fun at nana's. I am excited to move up there so that we can all be together more often.

I love seeing your first holidays. It was such a fun day.
You also got rice cereal for the first time.

You weren't sure how you felt about it. Some times you take it other times yo would just spit it right out. You will get use to it over time though.

You feel asleep on nanas bed saturday night.

We didn't want to move you so we decided Mom and Bret would sleep on the couch and your father and I would sleep on the floor in nanas room. As soon as we laid down to fall asleep you woke up. So I moved to the couch with you. Nana slept out in the living with me for the first half of the night and then your daddy slept out in the living room for the other half.

We had such a great time.

Love,

Mommy

Sick again :(

Dear Kayden,

Your daddy has been sick lately. And this morning you projectille threw up all over mommys feet. It was mostly stomach acid and it really scared me.

We took you to the dr. You are up to 13 lbs and 14 ounces! He says you just have the bug going around.

You threw up again later today. It makes me feel so bad! I just want to fix it but I can't do anything.

I hope it passes fast for you.

On the positive side, You are going to be pretty much every night at 8! Its so great!!! You also slept 6 hours straight last night! It was very much needed. I was getting exhausted.

Well this weekend is Halloween weekend! I cant wait for your first holidays!

Love,

mommy

Change of locations!

Dearest Kayden,

So your daddy and I were talking about where we wanted to live. We thought we were gonna settle in the SLC valley. But then we started thinking about you and your future siblings.

I wasn't raised close to other family members and I want you to be raised near your nana. So we decided we would move to Pocatello so you can be near her.

Lots of plans are in motion.

Just have to see if it works out.

I just hope we get everything right so that your life is the best it can be!

Remember we love you,

Mommy

Found your hands!

Dear Kayden,

I just realized I forgot to tell you about your find this past weekend. You have discovered your hands!

Its so cute you play with them all the time. You also suck your thumb now.

I love! I wonder how long till you discover your feet? That will be fun too.

You have changed your bedtime routine too. Im not complaining you are out by 8 now! Its pretty nice. But last night was a rough one :(. I hate nights like that cause it makes you have a bad day. You are pretty fussy this morning because you are so tired. But your daddy is holding and rocking you even though he is exhausted too! He loves you so much.

Love,

mommy

3 months old!

Dear Kayden,

So this past monday you turned 3 months old! I can't believe how fast time has flown. You can stand with some balance help. You are getting so strong!! Hopefully you will start sitting up soon.
Well last night we had a fun date night. You of course were involved.
Also Tuesday night  was the first night I left you with someone who wasnt family. I had to go pick up your daddy from work and I didnt want you screaming in the car. Our neighbor Jessica volunteered to come watch you. I was a nervous wreck but it was only 40 minutes. I rushed but it was good to know I can leave you and you will be okay! I just am not use to it.
Well your first Halloween is getting close. You are going to be a tiger! We are probably going to your nanas to go trunk or treating. Itll be fun! If we don't go there she will come down here. I am so excited that the holidays are so close! 35 days to Thanksgiving!! YAY!!!
We also spent last weekend at your Nana's. It was fun. You loved all the attention.
Love,
mommy

First Laugh

Dear Kayden,

Today you laughed for the first time! It made my day!
You were sound asleep then started smiling. It was so cute. Then you laughed! I wonder what you were dreaming about. I can't wait til your daddy hears you laugh. It is just the cutest thing there is.
Well tonight was  round one. We started you routine at 7:30 like usual. It is now 10:30 and we just laid you down! PLEASE sleep good for us. We could use it.
Love,
mommy
