Kaiden's First Month! (or, October Roundup)
Has it been a month already? Yup, and we have the pictures to prove it! Normally this would be the October Roundup, but since they're nearly all Kaiden-related, the page is named for him.
Enjoy! (This ones a doozy... are you prepared for the cuteness?)
I warned you!
With the first week over, it was just me and Amy and the little dude in the house.
What do you mean these socks are too big?
Aww!
Time for a trip to the park! It started getting cold, so we dressed him up in his Baby Eminem outfit.
And he totally slept through the whole thing.
Dreaming of lunch...
Tiny little mud snowman someone had stuck to the trash can.
First trip to PeiWei!
There's gonna be more of these pointless cute shots, so get used to them.
Shari and Bailey came down the next weekend, and we tried out his sink-bath thing.
Hey! what are you doing to me?
Ok, I guess I'm ok with this.
Scrub me good!
Aww!
Cute, right?
Bailey gets some snuggle time.
Toes!
Shari oversees the burping.
A favorite sleeping position.
Ready for a car ride!
Mom detects a "poop face"...
A friend of ours sent this cool tiny cycling jersey for him!
Working on that focus thing.
Baby bjorn!
Mostly a success. Unless he'd rather be eating, or wiggling.
But this time he just flat passed out.
Hands up!
No pictures! Please!
Peaceful.
No pictures, please!
Road trip time! Amy takes a quick snooze in the car, as does...
Our little dude in the mirror.
First to Tulsa to drop the dogs off at Amy's parents' house, where they're building a new addition...
at the end of the house...
for her Me-ma to move into.
Then back on the road.
To Joplin, for a stop at Bill and Nikki's. Gavin plays with the hanging spider.
Look out!
Nikki gives him some lunch.
And Mason gets some snuggle time.
Gavin tries some skating with Bill's brother Chris.
And Mason masters the steps.
Then on to my parents' house.
Proud grandma!
Dad breaks out the lighter, because...
It's Todd's birthday!
Happy 23rd!
Mmmm. Homemade apple crisp.
A la mode.
Present time...
Just what I wanted!
Way to color coordinate.
Snuggle time with grandpa.
No pictures!
Oh... so ... tired...
Hey, what's this?
These pictures look kinda different...
He sure is a cute kid though.
Caught a smile!
Is that the "poop face"?
Getting so big!
Almost sitting up ...
Bundled for the cold.
Ok, I've been trickin' ya. These are all pictures of me we dug up at my parents' house! Undeniable similarity, huh?
Here's my mom holding me, with her mom, her brother Brad, and my dad.
Dad and Mom with their firstborn.
Todd gets some snuggle time.
Settling down for the night in my old room.
Krista and "Cat".
Snxxxxxxx.
Snxxxxxxxxx.
Krista gets some snuggle time!
Lunch time for kiddo!
Then over to Allen and Kristy's, where Al offered to change a poopy diaper for us! How could we turn that down?
They have a new baby too...
This adorable bulldog named Sophie!
Lunch time. Again.
Al and Kristy got him some cool stuff, including these adorable airplane shoes! "This doesn't mean you're gonna stop carrying me around. I ain't walkin' nowhere."
Kristy gets snuggle time!
Big bundla cute.
Please play with me?
Adrian, in Al and Kristy's foster care.
Back in Tulsa, the dogs are ready to come inside and socialize.
Trudy gets some quiet time with little dude.
See what I mean?? Almost creepy!
Haha! Keeping mealtime decent.
Busted!
Bear, the licking machine. "I just wanna see how he tastes!"
Me-ma gets some snuggle time.
Time for a burp!
Aww!
Snooze time.
Hmmm... kinda blurry... maybe it's time for...
A new camera! I've been checking out camera reviews and prices, and decided it was time for us to upgrade. Specifically, to something that would take clearer pictures in low light. Like this.
So goodbye S500...
you've served us well... (14000+ pictures!)
Hello new hotness!
Mooooooovin' on up... Decided to stick with Canon, 'cause I have yet to find something I don't like about them, and stick with tiny instead of DSLR, because I won't take photos if the camera's not in my pocket at all times. Best Buy was cool enough to match an online price I found, so I set us up with an extra battery and a 4gig card.
Let's get to takin' pictures!
I actually let Amy take this, the camera's first-ever picture.
And the second.
Chuck gets some baby time.
Lots of visitors that night! Sue, Jon and Cathy,
and Linda and Dick.
Burp time again! I think he loves this position.
Four generation picture.
And Judy and Johnny.
Bear helps Grandma H with the feeding.
Snuggle time!
And he's out!
"Yeah, I'll be taking that remote."
Dad gets some feeding time.
Well-packed Fit.
I see you guys packing... I'm ready!
Loaded up for the trip home.
Yup, nap time again.
Helloooooo.... Newman.
Extreme Closeup For No Apparent Reason!
Tiny fingernails.
Katy has some sort of crush on Sugar.
Kaiden's not sure what to think of his Halloween costume!
He's also very quick at smiling, so this is about the best we've caught on camera.
Doh! Missed him again!
Now he's diggin' the outfit! Happy Halloween!
Time for Kaiden's first bike ride!
Got the carseat loaded up in the Burley (thanks Eric!)...
And headed out to Hoblitzelle Park for some paved trail action.
Woohoo!
Can't be too bad if he's sleeping through it.
Plus, this was Amy's first bike ride in quite a while. Sweet!
Lookin' good!
Yup, this position is a winner.
Trick or Treat! Passed out candy on Halloween night... figured it just wasn't right to use the little guy just to get candy for ourselves.
One last cute shot, then October's over. Slow down, little dude, you're growing too fast!
