Growin' like a weed!

Kaden had his 2 month check up last week. I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast! He got all his immunizations :( He did really well until a couple seconds after they stuck him...then he realized what was going on and did not like it. He calmed down quickly and was only a little uncomfortable from the effects of it for a day or so.

Kaden now weighs 11 lbs and is 22 1/2 inches long! I always thought my babies would be huge because of my sisters, but I like my little guy. Doc says that he is developing, and growing great and that is what we like to hear. Kaden now is more attentive and tracks with his eyes really well. He loves to look at fans and lights and of course his toys. He goes to sleep around 8pm and wakes up at 2 am and then at 5 am right on time to wake me up to go work out.

We love his smiles and funny faces, and can't wait to see this little one grow!




Hanging out with dad is my favorite thing to do.



Uncle Tom came for a visit and we had a ton of fun!!


I really like my froggy on my carseat, and I love going for walks!


All ready for church!

Halloween!!

My favorite holiday (besides Christmas) is Halloween! It was so fun to dress up as a family this year. We were having a hard time coming up with something but ended up with Kaden as a football player, and Jimmy and I were his coaches from the 80's :) Kaden and Jimmy came to school and we walked in our school's Halloween parade on Friday. Sadly they didn't last for the party but Kaden was pooped and went home. Kaden and I went to my sisters for a Halloween party that was awesome, and Saturday was filled with carving pumpkins, dressing up, going to a ward party, and trick or treating (we just walked with Kaden's cousins) and visiting family. That night we It was really fun and we can't wait for next year!

First Photo Shoot!

Yesterday we had a family photo shoot :) A friend of ours is starting her photography business and offered a photo shoot as a baby gift! We loved it and had a fun time taking pictures. We'll get the CD of pics soon but in the meantime she posted a bunch on her blog. Check it out if you want to see the pictures. And if you are looking for an awesome photographer call her up, we were very impressed!

One Month Birthday!

Hi! I'm Kaden, and I turned one month old on October 6th. Mom was busy at parent teacher conferences but we celebrated when she got back! I really liked the cake (a few hours later). I've been busy growing, eating, eating, and pooping! We've visited family and friends, and had a lot of people come over to help us out. You guys helped Mom and Dad so much, Thanks! We've gone to see my doctor and he says that I'm healthy and growing great! We even went to visit the doctor who delivered me. He rocks! At home I really like baths because I like to go swimming! I really like my brown blanket that is really soft, so much that sometimes I sleep for 5 hours at night. And I always make sure to say my prayers! I eat a lot! Sometimes I get a little gassy after and it hurts, but then I'm happy again. Mom thinks that it's really cute when I smile or laugh in my sleep. I've given her a couple smiles when I'm awake too, but not a ton yet. I'm really good at pushing up with my legs and swinging my arms when I'm mad, and I really like to hold my head up for a little bit and look around when Mom or Dad is holding me. Sometimes when I'm eating from a bottle I can prop the bottle up myself! I especially like walks in my stroller so I can see outside too. I can't wait for Halloween. We're still trying to decide my costume this year, because Mom and Dad want to dress up as a family. Do you have any ideas? I just had my first photo shoot today and we are excited to get the pictures back soon! I sure am cute!

He's Here!!!- The Stats

Kaden John Brown was born a little early on Labor Day, September 6th at 3:47 AM. He weighed 6 lbs, 6 oz, and was 20 in long. We are grateful and happy he is here! He gave us a couple of scares, but after a week in the NICU with some wonderful doctors and nurses we are happy to report that he is healthy, happy and home! I would write you the story now, however, it's not your typical delivery story so it's gonna be a book. See the upcoming post for the detailed story :)
