7 months & the beach!

Kaden is already 7 months. Each day he looks more and more like a little boy and not my baby. Here are some fun Kaden facts:

-He loves to bounce

-He's starting to pull himself up

-Kaden will do almost anything to get water, cell phone, tags, ensigns, remote

-He is a fast crawler!

-Kaden will crawl to wherever we are in the house

-He especially loves to try and get to the bathroom before we catch him

-Enjoys interacting with other kids

-Smiles at everyone

-Loves walks, especially when it's windy

On another note, we went to the beach this past weekend--Kaden's first time! It was so much fun and Kaden loved it! He didn't even put the sand in his mouth but had so much fun feeling it. He liked to watch the birds and the water come up to our feet. He did touch the water but wasn't a fan because it was so cold. We had a motel across the street from the beach which was perfect. Can't wait to go again!

Playing with all of that sand

More fun in the sun

I want to touch!

Terrified--and started screaming a few seconds later...

I love straws!

Our Kman had so much fun!

Home Sweet Home.

What a journey it is to the other side of the country! Kaden and I had a 5 1/2 hr flight, a 1 1/2 hr layover in Phoenix, and then a 2 hr flight to get to Sacramento, CA! Needless to say it was LONG. But Kaden, on his first airplane ride, did amazing! Even though he didn't nap much, he didn't cry the entire trip out! He had plenty of attention on the plane and loved it--he's such a ladies' man.

While out in California, Kaden met a lot of exteneded family, including my brother who returned from his 2 year mission in England! It was great to see him and attend his homecoming report and talk. My oldest sister was also able to come up for the event. And I caught up with some friends--though we all forgot to take pictures. It was a lot of fun, but we definitely missed Matt and were happy to come back home.
