Kaedyn's Nine Months

Santa's a Little Late This Year

Kaedyn got this Santa suit for Christmas and we were a little slow in getting these pictures up. He has to be the cutest Santa any of you have ever seen.

Kitchen Transformation

The Kitchen has finally been completed. We've been working on it piece by piece. It has taken quite awhile, but we're happy with the result.

Nightly Bath Time

Kaedyn loves his nightly bath time more than any other activity of the day. He slaps at the water as fast as he can. He loves his ducky and elephant that squeak when he squeezes them. Kaedyn has yet to realize that he should close his eyes when water runs down his face. Instead, he keeps them open and then looks up at us with a startled look, but then returns to his slappn'.

My Dad Is The Man!!!

Kaedyn received this awesome shirt for Christmas and was so excited to share it with you all. I promised him that I'd put it on here, even though I'm truly a humble dad.

Presents Galore

Kaedyn had more than enough presents to open this Christmas. Jen and I both agree that he enjoyed the wrapping paper much more than the actual presents. He was also captivated by the Christmas tree and ornaments, at least the ones he could grab.

Maybe He's Not Ready To Meet Santa Yet

A Cheerful Holiday Spirit

Standn' Strong

Kaedyn has yet to show interest in crawling, but enjoys standing. He enjoys spending time in his play-yard, gaining some independence.

The Packer Backers

This is Kaed and the gang. His cousin Ellie and his buddy Parker. They were pumped to watch the Packers beat up on the 49er's this past weekend. It's good to see such childrearing in this day in age.

Just Some New Pics of the Little Man

Tough Loss, But Still an Avid Packer Fan

If there's anything that I need to teach Kaedyn, it's to stand firm in the face of opposition. He learned that this weekend as the Pack got pounded by the Pats 35-0. Kaedyn was quite worried when Favre got hurt, but he was relieved to find out today that # 4 should be fine for next week. Here's a good ole' thumbs up from Kaedyn. Go Pack!!!

He Should be a Baby Model

We thought this picture was evidence of how cute this little man is. You can definitely see his longer hair here as well.

Ya Can't Make Me Crawl

Everyday we try and get Kaedyn a little bit more
experience on his hands and knees. He'll just look at us with an expression like, "I'll do it in my own time, you can't make me do it." He'll also just look down at his knees/feet as in this picture and wonder what's he's doing off the ground. Kaedyn actually sits great by himself, can roll from front to back and today for the first time from back to front, and can go from sitting to his stomach and back again. He's quite the talented little guy.

Such a Happy Boy!

Kaedyn's starting to love the camera more and more. He especially enjoys grabbing the camera straps and pulling on them to the point that the camera almost falls out of our hands. He's quite a strong kid for almost being seven months. Kaedyn's getting a lot more hair too. I have yet to make it into a mohawk, but that'll happen soon enough.

Pumpkin Carving

Kaedyn attempted to carve this pumpkin, but found it very difficult since it was as big as he was. He's not quite sure what a pumpkin is, so all he did was beat on it with his fists. Trying to use intimidation on a pumpkin, I taught him well.

Happy Halloween

Kaedyn would like to wish you all a Happy Halloween. We took him trick or treatn' and I ate all his candy, it was great. Just kidding, Jennie took him to a costume dance for her work.

Monday Night Football

I was able to work at the MNF game this past week when the Vikes got owned by the Pats. It was an amazing experience to be on the field and at eye level with the players. My job entailed moving the cables for the main camera that would zoom down on a wheeled contraption from goal line to goal line. It was an easy job and allowed me to watch most of the game right from the sideline. At the end of the game I went up to Tom Brady, Patriots QB, and said "nice game" and also got a quality "high five." That was definitely a highlight of the night. Also, when the players were walking out of the lockerroom, I was able to snag the two starting RB's Laurence Maroney and Corey Dillion. As you can see, I'm just about as big as they are!!! Seriously though, they're both just ripped beyond belief. I was able to say hi to Teddy Bruschi and Junior Seau as well, but they denied me a picture. Anyway, he are two pics from the night.

Kaedyn's first Post

Kaedyn is starting to hold the bottle by himself now, but doesn't quite understand the concept of tipping up to get the remaining drink.
