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!

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.

One Month Old....

Kaenaan is just over a month old now, 5 weeks to be exact. It has really flown by. It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing him home for the first time. He fits into our family perfectly. I was so nervous about having number 2, but Kaenaan has made it really easy. He is such a happy and content little baby. He loves his sleep (just like daddy)! Since day one he has pretty much been on schedule for sleeping. He goes down for bed between 8:30-9:30 and will sleep for 3-5 hours before waking up to nurse. He nurses and goes right back to sleep then pretty much wakes up every 2 hours after that. So YAY for that, Mommy is getting much needed sleep to take care of these 2 boys.

Ryder has also done so well with Kaenaan, he loves him so much. He is constantly kissing him and asking to hold him. He also copies the things that he sees us doing and saying. He'll tickle Kaenaan's little cheeks and say "look at those chubby cheekies" or one that he got from Daddy is to say "Hi little buddy".

Kaenaan had his 1 month check up and is now weighing in at 12 lbs 4.5 oz (90th percentile)! ! Yep, he is gonna be a big boy! Mommy has some good milk! He outgrew his newborn clothes almost immediately and is wearing 3 month and some 3-6 month sizes.

Smiley Boy!

There's nothing better than seeing your baby's first happy smiles. Kaenaan is such a happy little guy. All we have to do to get a smile out of him is talk to him or tickle his chubby little cheeks.






CHUBBY cheeks!
