Hiking

This will complete the posting for today....Just want to say, one thing that makes me happy. Hiking. Hiking with my little family. For me, there's not too many activities on the weekends that I would rather do, well there is, but I really enjoy the outdoors and all.

A little bit obessed with Odus...

Randoms

Got me two teeth now..at 6 months...

Loving all my toys...

Doing my best to crawl around..And yes that is red hair!

Sweet taters and big lips....

An afternoon with Wesley and Kade

Wesley...so crazily cute..adorable really...Brown eyes to seriously die for!

"Uhhh..Can I play with it just for a sec..your hogging that toy!"

"And now you took my red toy..Kade...you crazy!"

First Tooth

This was my attempt to get a picture of the first tooth....but really it just broke the skin and is hard to see. How did he get so big so fast? How can I slow down time...just a bit?

Avila Hike

The simply gorgeous hikes is one good reason, on top of many, why where we live is just plain the best.

Naked Baby

The one thing...well let me re-think that...there are many things...that Kade does that melts my heart. For he is my first born. Always will be, and there are many firsts for us. But one thing I love is watching him roll around in his diaper. He is my little Crazy Kade..and I love him, oh do I love him.

Quote for the Day

Nothing touches the soul but leaves its impress, and thus, little by little, we are fashioned into the image of all we have seen and heard, known and meditated; and if we learn to live with all that is fairest and purest and best, the love of it all will in the end become our very life. - Grenville Kleiser

Updates on the World of Kade

I am sitting up on my own..and a bit surprised by my abilities....

Uhhh....what did you guys just feed me?

I am pretty into my feet.....

I have figured out the crawl stance, and find myself crawling backwards..I have yet to figure out how to go forward.....

And just sometimes, I can charm my parents with a little smile..just sometimes.....

Kades First Christmas

It started with your first plane ride.......pretty successful.....until on the way home, when you exploded your diaper and ate too much milk...we survived...

Birthday celebration for me and Grandpa...

Not much to do, but eat books...

Loving my Aunt Terry and my new Monkey Xmas P.J's......

Got myself a new family..and Why is Odus so small now?

Who took this picture? Not me...

Liking Grandpas musical abilities.....

Rocking out on the piano...

How many dogs do Grandpa and Grandma have?

Christmas Morning

Don't look too close...you can see up my nose...whoops.. Who took this?

Getting ready to brave the stormy cold weather....

More dogs? Banjo tired from the party..

Ready for action...with Grandma...

Tired little man....

Practicing riding my stuffed horse, so someday I can ride Goose.

Goose Lightening. Aunt Anna's horsey...he was loving the apples we brought him.

Reading with Grandma

Really Mom? Another picture of me..And I say, Of course! This was your first Christmas. I wanted to document the special moments. Because it will only happen once. It was so wonderful to spend time with the family..it went my in a blur. Thank you all for the wonderful moments, laughs and great food and company.
