Where'd that come from?

Thanks Amy and Jenn for posting comments on my poor sick baby. He's doing better now and is as ornery as ever. I think the reason why he's getting all these sick periods is because of day care. (I would post the story about how Kaden went from in-home day care to where he is now, but I'm not going to tempt karma only to have it bite me in the butt.) Our day care center is awesome and I'm so grateful that Jenn suggested it and we love it so much.

Here's some pictures from our week so far:

Kaden and the Christmas tree

"What's wrong with this picture? Oh, silly grandpa! You put my diaper on backwards!"

I came home to this scene. Kaden helping daddy cut trim in the garage.

Thank you Daddy for protecting Kaden's ears.

And it was bound to happen sometime. Kaden's first Happy Meal. He ate a few fries, the bottom bun and most of the top bun, no burger and all of the milk.

My Poor Baby

Poor little Kaden hasn't had a good couple of weeks. We took him to the minor emergency recently to find out he had two infected ears. He got the bubble gum medicine for 10 days and we hoped that would clear it up. Kaden also had a few days of puking up anything and everything he ate but it would only happen at night. I think I changed the sheets on his bed 4 times! To top all that off, Ryan took Kaden in for his 14 month checkup today and he got 6 shots - 2 for flu (regular and h1n1) and four boosters. It sucks being a kid.

Kaden's First Sushi

We went to Gindi recently to get our sushi fix. Ryan introduced me to sushi early on when we were first dating. I think Kaden is going to follow in our footsteps. He didn't object to this mostly rice and a bit of cooked salmon.

Corn Maze

Ryan and I took Kaden to his first corn maze in October. We normally go to Bergmann's Corn Maze but opted to go to the Cox Farm Corn Maze this year. I think we'll stick with Bergmann's next year. We kind of got lost in the maze and gave up after about 90 minutes or so.

Cookies!

Kaden got his first Oreo cookie from my dad. He was smart enough to put a bib on him and take him outside to eat it. Here's the before and after shots:

Critters!

We went to Petco to get some cat food. Ryan took Kaden around to all the different cages to view all the critters that were available to buy. I think there may be critter cages in our future.

Camping Trip

I can't believe that I've left my blog dormant for so long! I have many posts to catch up on.

Ryan and I left Kaden in Brent and Terri's capable hands and took off for a few days to go camping. We went to Cross Timbers State Park about 90 minutes from Wichita. We hiked two trails the first afternoon (about 3 miles) and an 8 mile trail the next day. Over the course of hiking the two days we counted over a dozen deer! I can't wait for warmer weather to go camping again.

The "bridge" we had to cross to get to the longer trails. The water finally receeded the day we left the park.
