Our Babies :)

It is so cute watching Caden and Cayleigh together. They really do love each other, and Cayleigh ADORES her big brother. :) She is always watching him and laughing at him, and Caden loves to talk her ear off (as well as anyone else who will listen *hee hee*).

I've been trying to get Cayleigh to learn how to take a bottle and she did take one yesterday, but it took forever. I tried again last night, but no luck. It's breastmilk and everything, but she still won't take it. She'll take solid food- baby oatmeal, rice cereal, pears, applesauce and carrots so far. She loves it. But she refuses the bottle. Jeff and I really want her to take one so we can go out for dinner and a movie some night soon without our preciuos baby. ;) We'll see... Cayleigh is a stubborn little girl.

Proud of Our Potty Trainee :)

Jeff and I are SO proud of Caden. :) I haven't had to change a diaper in what feels like forever, and the past 2 days he has gone and done #2 all on his own. He'll come and get me to show me what he did (a little gross, I know) and then he gets a sticker for his chart and a treat. So he's potty trained at home but still holds it when we go out and is always a little wet in the morning. He'll get up and go in the night but he's still always wet. There's still work to do... But we're proud of him. :)

Sick Babes :(

Last night was awful. Caden starting getting sick too and was very feverish. Today he is all flushed, says his tummy hurts, and right now his temperature is 38.2. :( And Cayleigh is still sick too. I also don't feel well, so all 3 of us stayed in this morning. I took pictures of my sick, sleeping little ones, and a picture of how Caden looks right now- all tired and flushed. Jeff just got back from church and he is out getting a slurpie for Caden. He isn't eating or drinking so we think a slurpie will do the trick. I hope so.

Another Day at the Zoo

Yesterday we went to the zoo and it was so much fun! It feels great taking our 2 children now (it was Cayleigh's first trip there)- our family feels more complete. :) Poor Cayleigh was sick with an awful cold but we went anyway. She did great. And Caden LOVED it! He saw otters and had fun with Daddy as they rubbed a dime along the tank and watched the otter chase it. Caden especially loved the ducks! Today he said, "Mommy, I feed the ducks. The ducks tried eat my hand, Mommy!". He loved feeding them and chasing them. His feet got all muddy as he did that so I took a picture of Daddy cleaning him off in a snowbank. There was still snow on the ground in bits and pieces but it was so beautiful and warm out. Jeff and I were in T-shirts part of the time. Today our car is buried in snow but that's Calgary for you... ;)

We also took pictures of the bears, porcupines, and hippos. Sorry- there are no giraffe pictures as the giraffes were a bit frisky and this is a family post *smiles*. Let's just say that little Richard (the baby giraffe) will probably have a baby brother or sister in the near future. Hee hee... ;)

And I also took a picture of Cayleigh grabbing the tag on the back of Caden's stroller seat. She'll do that forever. Small things amuse small little minds I guess. :)

Sweet Giggles

It's almost 10:00 pm (sorry it's so dark) and she's still going strong... ;)

The Green Goblin and Hockey Night In Canada

Caden did two things today that gave us a good laugh:

Putting Villains In Their Place

Erin took him to "McOdon's" today for a treat. With his Happy Meal, he got an action figure. When he asked what it was, Mommy explained that "This is the Green Goblin. He's naughty - he wants to give Spiderman owies."

When they got home from "McOdon's, Caden put the Green Goblin in timeout. That'll learn 'im.

Grampie Would Be Proud

Just as we were getting ready for bed, after Caden had been asleep for four hours, we heard him moaning from his room and went to see what was wrong. He was sitting on the side of the bed, tears running down his cheeks. When Mommy asked him why he was awake and what he wanted, he answered, "I want watch hockey."

This is at 11 PM.

While there might have been a late game on the West Coast still going, I figured he could wait till the Flames are back in action on Wednesday. "Yes, Caden. The road trip's finally over now. Red is good again. White is naughty."

Poor Daddy!

Here is a better picture of Jeff getting his lips stretched... ;)
