4 Months

Our little Kaney boy is 4 months old. He is a happy boy and such a sweet little cutie pie. We love him so much. He is smiling, laughing and cooing like crazy. There are some big things going on around here these days.

Kaenaan had his 4 month Dr visit and is weighing in at 15 lbs 14 oz and 25 1/4 in.

Kaenaan's favorite toy so far has been his little mini Sophie Giraffe. He likes holding giraffie in his hands and loves chewing on it.

We tried rice cereal for the first time on Friday, January 20. Of course most of it ended up on the bib, but we are working on it.

Kaenaan ROLLED over for the first time on Saturday, January 21. I was doing dishes and he was playing on his mat. I had my eye on him and he just rolled right over from his back to his belly. I grabbed my camera and snapped this pic of him. He just looks so proud of himself, like he knows he just did something really cool!

He's also been spending some time in his jumperoo. His little feet are just barely touching the floor!

Christmas 2011

Christmas this year was soooo much fun. Ryder was into everything about it the holiday....Santa, elves, reindeer, polar express, christmas lights and decorations, ornaments and decorating the tree, and most of all PRESENTS!

Christmas morning was spent with our family of 4. We woke Ryder up by jingling bells down the hallway. We told him Santa had just left. He was so excited to see all the presents Santa had left for him. A bike, some big trucks, a race car track, and lots of cool things in his stocking including some new underwear. He thought it was so silly that Santa left underwear in his stocking!

After our

3 Month / 3 Year Appointment

Ryder and Kaenaan had their Dr visits and I am so thankful that both of my boys are happy and healthy! !

Ryder is weighing in at 33.4 lbs and 36 3/4 inches. His stats look great, although the Dr did says that he is a bit short for his age. Which is fine, Daddy is not super tall either.

Our BIG BOY Kaenaan is weighing in at 14 lbs 11 oz and 24 1/4 inches. He is on the top 95th percentile for weight! ! ! The Dr just says that I must have good milk.

Christmas Party with Friends

These lil kiddos are all so sweet! We have all been friends since the kids were just babies and now they are all going on 3! ! ! It's so neat to see them all growing up, it's just happening way too fast.

We dressed them up in their Christmas best jammies and let them party! ! They painted ornaments, decorated cookies, ate pizza, had a gift exchange and of course played!

Ryder's Special Day

For Ryder's actual birthday we had a nice family day out. We let him plan the whole afternoon. He chose to go to the Phoenix Children's Museum, that is most definetly one of his favorite places. His favorite activity at the museum is definetly the tricycles. Lucky for us it was a slow day so he pretty much had the track to himself. On the way out Daddy let him pick out a prize from the gift shop. He loves any and all types of trucks so he chose a cool firetruck. We ended the afternoon with a Happy Meal and chocolate milk.

Ryder's Birthday Bash

Ryder had his big 3 year birthday bash on November 26. He had such a good time celebrating with all of his best buddies. We had the party out at our community park, the weather was perfect and the kids all had a blast. The crowd pleaser was the bounce house that daddy got for the party. The kids were going crazy in there! Ryder was definetly spoiled he got a cool tricycle from nana and papa, a vtech laptop and cowboy boots from grandma, lots of learning toys, lots of fun toys, a skateboard and some clothes and jammies.

His BIG gift from Daddy was a QUAD. Daddy got him a Polaris Predator 50! !


He is one lucky lil guy.

Check out my boys rockin' their matching outfits for the party, even their little converse match.

I had to get in the bounce house and jump with my lil birthday boy! !



I love this pic of him with his skateboard.

HAND-ME-DOWNS

One great perk of having 2 boys! I saved just about all of Ryder's baby clothes just in case I would need them again. The boys birth months are just 2 months apart so the seasons worked out perfectly. I snapped some pics of Kaenaan in outfits that were Ryder's. What do you think?? Do they look alike?

Ryder Visits the Dentist

Ryder had his 2nd dentist visit and did AWESOME. He was so good getting his xrays and opening his mouth big so they could clean his teeth. The dentist said Ryder's teeth look perfect and that he does a really good job of brushing them (that's because Mommy still helps him!)

Showing off those clean teeth!

HALLOWEEN

We had such a fun Halloween this year. We started off the festivities with going to Christine's annual Halloween party. Christine is one of Ryder's BFF's and we attended this party last year as well. I'm sure it will be one of our yearly traditions. All the kids dressed up and did a little trick or treating with toys/snacks that all the mommies brought. We had lots of fun making Halloween crafts and decorating and eating Halloween treats!

My SPooky boys.

Ryder had tons of fun trick or treating. My boy is not much of a candy person, in fact he won't eat any of it! He was most excited that he got to "visit" all of the neighbors. We walked down our street and visited all of our neighbors for candy. They all thought Ryder was soooo cute! He was still full of energy and excited to visit more people so we went onto the next street then made our way home to give out candy.
