Thanksgiving 2011



This year we spent the week of Thanksgiving in Carlsbad CA with my mom and three brothers.  The weather was amazing, sunny and in the 70's! The kids spent most of the days at the beach running from the waves, splashing each other and building sand castles.  We got to spend Thursday making all our traditional Thanksgiving dishes and playing board games.  I truly feel blessed and so thankful for my family and the time we got to spend together by the beach!!!

8 Months...


Wow 8 months old, where did the time go? Caden has changed a lot in the last two months. His two bottom teeth popped up, he is now eating finger foods and just starting crawling! My chunk loves to eat! He is still nursing and eating baby food but recently we have started giving him real food. He has tried mac-n-cheese, sloppy joe's, chicken fingers, french fries and toast and loves it all! Now that he is crawling , he's trouble! Already into everything and wanting what Chloe is playing with. We already lowered his crib to the lowest setting cause he is trying to pull up. He is all boy but still my cuddlier! To be honest Caden is such a momma's boy, loves to he held constantly and suck his thumb! We all love him so much!
