9-12 months: Learning how to walk (July 2012)

I can't believe that my little baby boy is 6 days away from turning 1 year old! He is climbing on everything, walking everywhere(as long as he has a hold of something), and stands up all by himself like "look at me I'm a BIG boy"! He has started to walk a few steps by himself but then falls on his bum and decides that crawling will get him there much faster! I have cherished every milestone and every step watching him grow and develop. Life is so stinkin' cool! Especially when you know that you will be with your family forever. Jared and I just think the world of this little guy! Jared used to say to everyone that the reason why Cayden is such an even-tempered baby is because of Jared's "passive-aggressive, calm energy". It really cracked everyone up and they always said "you just wait your next one might prove that theory wrong". Oh my honey is funny! I think he is just proud that we have such a happy, calm, smiley little boy that hardly cries or gets mad. I'd like to say that its because hes just like his mommy...but i think I'll be fair to say he's a good mix of the best of both of his parents. What an awesome little man! We are so lucky.
 


 
Yep ANOTHER picture of him falling asleep in his high chair! Must be relaxing..like I've said before, why doesn't this happen when I lay him down in his crib? FUNNY.

 
Cayden and Budders waiting for Daddy to get home and being good watch dogs!

 
This was when he got a dry erase marker and popped off the cap and had a snack. When I saw him for the first time I couldn't stop laughing and he thought I was pretty entertaining laughing at him=)


The whole gang at the Killpack reunion in Pinedale Rec Center


 
Daddy and Cayden had lots of fun swimming!



 
Little man was having a ball!


 
Going down the kid water slide!


 
CUTIE PIE


 
He loved when daddy took him in the lazy river!

 
All of us at the Hathaway reunion in Elitch Gardens
 
After a tiring macaroni and cheese lunch



Ohhh I love it!
 
I know I'm not suppose to be playing with the computer but if I smile really big mommy then you'll let me cause I'm soooo cute.




He is such a ham!
 
Daddy and Cayden in the tractor digging the foundation of our new house!




 
Cayden was a little scared at first but he warmed up to the ride with daddy
 Clumsy mommy was running down the hallway and caught her pinkie toe on the ottoman and broke her toe. Hey bright side, I get to take a break on exercise(don't know if that really is a good idea) and I had broken this toe years before and kind of deformed the bone bad so maybe I re broke the bone to straighten it out a little bit?!? Probably not, but I can hope right?


 


These pictures were taken today, and after breakfast he FELL ASLEEP eating cheerios! Does he have the sleep disorder Narcolepsy or something?!?! This is absolutely crackin' me up!!

6-9 months: Crawling Maniac! (May 2012)

For me Cayden's 6-9 months went by so fast and even though the new stages of crawling, standing, and jabbering were so cool I just wanted everything to slow down. I think Cayden's look really changed from being a mini Jared to a good mix between Jared and I...and I LOVE that he got my blue eyes and daddy's lips!
 

 
Cayden got into baby powder and thought it was very funny!




 
Oh man if he only knew what power that face has over me...he would get anything he wanted!
 
Daddy was proud that Cayden found his golf club and decided he wanted to give it a swing. Don't worry Jared will make sure to start him out young=)

 
Eating all that yummy ice cream with mommy made munchkins a little tuckered out.


 
Cayden sure has his daddy wrapped around his little finger!
 I'm a given!!!

 
He LOVES..I mean LOOOVES strawberries!
 
This was awesome...I started taking pictures of him and I swear he was posing for the camera!





 
WOW! He is the cutest little man EVER! Look at that face?!?!

 
I bought Cayden a little water splash pad to play on and he had an absolute blast even though the water was connected to a hose and he was freezing.
 


His favorite was to drink the water but always ended up coughing because it went up his nose!

 His cousins, Lillie and Jackson came over to play on the splash pad with him and they all had a ball!
