Cropping
You'll notice some of the pictures are cropped weird. This is not my doings! If I size the pictures larger (like they are) some of them automatically get cropped. But I figure the bigger pictures are better than the smaller ones...but that's why sometimes heads, etc. get cut off!
More randoms
My boys in their hats. (can you tell they're related! We have a picture of Matt and I when we were both Kaden's age. It's amazing to compare the 2 of them with Kaden right now. He has Matt's cheeks/nose/mouth and my eyes/forehead) I'll try to scan those pictures in so you can see for yourself!)
walking together
Kaden stood next to the brick wall and started pounding on it. Apparently this is lots of fun. Who knew?!
Father/son
"I'm too sexy for my shorts, too sexy for my shorts, toooo sexy, ya"....... haha
Kaden & I
Impromptu family shot
Watching TV with Matt (and playing with Talbot's frisbee). Such a multi-talented son we have!
Kaden loves to climb on things. I found him trying to climb on top of this toy to get to another toy. One day he's going to fall, and I won't be right there to catch him, and learn climbing's not as much fun as he thinks!
The really fun table. Kaden found a golf ball under it and managed to sit on the bench, turn himself, go under the table to get the ball, and then got back out. The advantages of being small are endless!
Blankee boy strikes again!
2nd major ouch! A month ago Kaden got his real first ouch... Matt was sitting on the ottoman and Kaden came over to him and fell. He happened to just hit his mouth wrong on the corner (it's all padded) and split his top and bottom lip open. His 2nd major ouch came last weekend. He was trying to go outside while I was bringing groceries in from the car. He stepped on the metal plate by the front door, and it made his foot get red. 10 minutes later Matt took him outside without any shoes on and he REALLY burned his foot while walking around in the sun. He got 2 really big blisters, and each toe was really red. I felt so bad for him. He kept shaking his foot in pain and couldn't walk on it for a long time. Luckily he loves Baby Einstein, so he was actually encouraged to watch TV just so he'd sit and relax. After a couple hours and a good nap, he was walking on it without any hesitation. The next day he was totally back to his regular, speedy self.
Here's a picture of his poor foot.

water hose
After Kaden was done swimming (see next post) we all went for a walk in the woods. Matt carried Kaden in the backpack and Talbot got to go swimming. Then we got home. This was the cute man...happy as could be because he'd just stolen my cell phone!
We decided that Talbot really needed a bath. Kaden is usually confined to the swings when I'm bathing Talbot, but since it was nice out (and he'd be getting in the bathtub in an hour anyways) we let him walk around. He was totally intrigued. He wasn't sure what to think. (notice the sidewalk chalk he's just carrying around!)
Watching the bubbles on the ground.
Becoming more brave. He went over to the hose and started putting his hand in the stream of water.
He decided that was pretty fun.
Matt let him hold the hose with him and they both started rinsing off Talbot (you can see where this is going, right?!).
He then gave Kaden full control. I love the look on Talbot's face ...like, seriously, you're giving HIM the hose?
Kaden was BEYOND excited.
He then started walking around with the hose.
And spraying our house.
And the flowers and the storage unit door. (I LOVE the look on his face here)
Matt tried to take over control again, but Kaden let him know he wasn't done having fun yet. So he let him have a few more minutes.
........
The next day I was filling Kaden's pool for him to play in again. He instantly remembered the hose fun he'd had the previous day and wanted more. He picked up the hose (which was turned off at the time) and started trying to figure out how to get the water to come out.
And because he's such a sweet boy (and maybe, just possibly, a bit spoiled) I turned it on for him. His mouth instantly dropped when he started seeing the water come out. I'm not sure he ever closed it during the whole 10 minutes he got to play with the hose.
Funny boy. He picked up the hose like this (all on his own) and started walking around the pool.
Spraying water into the pool.
So now every time we go outside to play, he walks over to the hose and tries to pull it off the wall. It's quite funny to watch. I'm sure this weekend if it's nice he'll get round 3 of water hose play!

Pool time!
We bought Kaden a small pool for outside last weekend. Needless to say the kid that loves being outside and playing in water, loves the pool. We had him in it a couple days. And since he enjoys wearing hats, he usually is good about leaving his hat on while in the water. Some of these pool ones are a bit out of order! The swimsuit he has on is one we bought last year that fit him (it was a bit big)! I think we have the world's most economical son.
Getting out of the pool - he was so cautious and careful about getting in and out.
Sharing the pool with Talbot -- the brave dog was a bit too scared!
Snack trap in the pool...
mmmm, soggy snacks!....
On the 2nd day, Matt had the idea of adding the slide to the pool, so he could go down the slide and end up in the water. Great idea!
Look Mom, no help!
Such a poser!
Matt let him go completely unassisted (without even helping him at the end)....it didn't end well!
