Wow yesterday my firstborn turned FOUR YEARS OLD! Where did the last 4yrs go? I can vividly remember his birth and the hours after his birth and our moments in the hospital and bringing him home... He's such a big boy now.. he's a big brother... he's my pride and joy and I love him more every day~ For his day we baked cupcakes together and he did such a wonderful job helping me out. He is a great cupcake decorator!!! After dinner we all had cupcakes and Kaeden had his special cupcake that he made and decorated with 4 candles in it. He blew the candles out like a champ and then we gave him a gift to open. It was a power ranger and he loved it :) He didn't believe us for most of the day that it was his birthday though LOL I think he's confused since his party isn't going to be until the 9th. We are going to have a combined party for Kaeden and Kailer as they are so close together and with the move and everything we needed to go as simple as possible this year ;)
Onto the move... We're all moved in and loving our new home. It took me awhile to get used to living here and for the first couple weeks I didn't like it here at all. I missed my old home and had a serious case of homesickness :o I also got very sick which I am sure did not help me out one bit when it came to enjoying my home as I was stuck on the couch and could do nothing to make it feel like it was my home. I finally got on some antobiotics and am doing much better now. HOpefully that never happens again as it was miserable!!! Last weekend Lindsay came down and helped me get all the decorations up on my walls and it definitely feels more homey :) Kaeden and Kailer have adjusted very well to the new house and seem really happy here :) I do still miss my neighborhood on F street but it's not like we moved to another state ;) So we do keep in contact with them. I am going to work on cleaning out my garage today as we are going to have a yard sale this weekend and try to clear out some of this junk we've accumulated and make some extra cash while we're at it ;) The thought of a yard sale alone with 2 kids is kinda scary though LOL
A few updates on Kai.. Wow he's changed SO MUCH since my last post on here. The first weekend in August Kai started taking little steps here and there and did that for a couple weeks.... Then this last Saturday the 26th he started walking everywhere! He can stop and go and turn and sit and stand. He is officially a walker !!! It is so sad and so excitiing at the same time! He still refuses to sign things to me and continues to grunt or scream like a beast when he wants something. He loves to dance and will dance to anything that has a beat. He even started dancing to a car alarm that was going off the other night LOL If it has a beat he will move to it! Last night he started sticking his tongue in and out of his mouth and was pretty proud of himself ;) He has figured out how to point at things and loves to clap. He follows his brother around like they are attatched and if you ask him where Kaeden is he'll go find him most of the time. He LOVES his big brother and his big brother loves him! They play together very well. Last night Kai was attacking big bro and they were both laughing and having a great time. It melts my heart to watch the two of them play together and enjoy eachother so much. Kai has also learned a few new words~! last update he said nothing at all. This time he is saying Uh Oh (his first "official" word) Kinda funny that Kaeden and Kai both had the same first word LOL he also says cracker, and yuck. He has a definite temper and is getting good at throwing temper tantrums!! He finally got that 4th tooth in and now has 2 on top and 2 on bottom. I missed his Aug dr appt as I was sick and in Hermiston for his weight check but I weighed him this week on our home scale and it said 18 LBS!!!!!! YIPPEEEEE So he's definitely catching up and I am not in the least bit concerned. I'm kinda glad we didn't go to the dr as he hadn't quite had that growth spurt and I'm excited that when he goes in for his 1yr appt his weight should jump considerabley on the charts and the doc can leave us alone about it :) I swear he gained those 2lbs in his belly and cheeks LOL He looks SO CHUNKY lately there!! Kai is my lovey baby. He is always coming up to me and holding me and kissing me and snuggling me. He still loves to be down and moving around, but he is always wanting to be held also and that is fine with me :) I love that he is still my "baby" even though he's turning into a toddler. Well he is grabbing my mouse and keyboard and begging to be held as I type this so I"m gonna end this for now and will update more later!
