Little Puppies

Kate's mom bought Caden the cutest little puppy outfit. Coincidentally Josh received the same outfit from another family member. We thought it would be fun to get pictures of the boys together in their outfits. They both looked adorable. It was wonderful to see Chris and Kate and little Josh. Josh has gotten so big and it was fun to hear him laughing and see him rolling all over. What a cutie!

Happy Birthday Dana!

For Dana's 30th birthday we traveled to St. Louis to visit our good friends the Sinnokraks. We had a wonderful weekend full of some of Dana's favorites...Chevy's, Catan, video games, Cinnabon. Most importantly, BASKIN ROBBINS! Dana is obsessed with Baskin Robbins chocolate chip ice cream so I had to get him an ice cream cake for his birthday. At least he shared with the rest of us.

Smiles and Talking

Caden is smiling and talking a lot more. It is such a joy to spend time with him and see him smile at you. Please take note of what his shirt says. :)

New Camera

Our new camera we purchased in October suddenly decided to stop working. Well, you have to have a working camera when you have a new baby. Our new camera obviously has some different settings than our old camera. This was made clear by the "deer in headlights" look that Caden had in all of the pictures we took. Thankfully, he's starting to adjust. :)

Couch Potato

Caden really enjoys watching TV. The other day he stopped eating and turned away so he could look at the TV. At least he still shares the remote with us. :)

5 Generations

This weekend Caden made his first road trip to visit Dana's family in Topeka. From Topeka we traveled on to Clay Center to take a 5 generations picture with Caden, Dana, Dana's mom Susan, Dana's grandma Beverly, and Dana's great-grandma Irene. This was a special opportunity and memory for our family.

Here is our birth announcement for Caden. The one we are mailing is different, this is our electronic version.

It's amazing how fast he is growing. I can't believe he is 6 weeks old today. Sadly, this also means that I am halfway through my maternity leave. I truely enjoy my job and coworkers, but I LOVE being at home with Caden. He is so precious. :)
