3 Months Today

Here are some pictures of Cayleigh at birth, 1 month, 2 months and now 3 months (I posted two that were taken today). :) She's growing up so fast- I can't believe she's 3 months already.

Oh, Caden...

Yesterday I looked over at Caden and guess what he was doing- he was breastfeeding Pooh. I know... ;) I couldn't resist taking a video (my camera died before I was finished filming) and a photo. He's cute, but a little confused. :)

Fun times, and more fun ahead! :)

1. Cayleigh playing- she's on her back because her tummy time only lasts for a few minutes most times. She hates it.

2 & 3. Caden's Auntie Kim (he LOVES her) took him outside to play in the snow and he had so much fun! She pulled him on a sled and when he got home he told me all about it- "Auntie Kim take Caden on sled. Caden go Auntie Kim's house. Caden see Uncle Mike. Uncle Mike on computer. Auntie Kim give Caden water and cheerios. Uncle Mike give Caden eggnog"...

4. Lately Caden likes to help out whenever his little sister is concerned. She was in her bed fussing a bit and Caden said, "What wrong, Baby Cayleigh? Baby Cayleigh need blankie". He covered her up by stuffing the blanket in her bed- we were happy to be there to get a picture and to tell Caden that only Mommy and Daddy can cover Cayleigh up. ;)

5. My best friend, Cheryl, came over on Boxing Day and it was so good to see her. Cayleigh was all smiles as you can tell. Caden and Cayleigh LOVE Cheryl.

6. Me with my babies watching a classic- "The Big Comfy Couch". I know... :)

7. Cayleigh all smiles in her carseat for once- usually she cries when we strap her in but falls asleep as soon as we rock her. She is excellent in the car (Caden was difficult when he was her age). Isn't she a sweetie?

8. Caden being silly. He's a cute little guy!


Well, if all goes as planned we should be home in New Brunswick a little over a week from today. I am SO excited! I can't wait to see everyone and to have them see Caden and Cayleigh. We are hoping to spend time with our good friends, Kevin and Kendis as well. They have little ones the same age as ours and we haven't seen them in a long time. So we have a lot to look forward to. Caden picked out a Diego suitcase for the trip and I'm already trying to figure out what we'll bring and how I can keep Caden entertained and Cayleigh comfortable. My parents are really excited-I know my Mom will be thrilled to hold a little baby again. :)

Merry Christmas!

We had such a great day yesterday. Caden LOVED all his new toys (he got so many things that I took some away for later) and Cayleigh giggled away at Grammie and Grampie's house and did her favourite thing- sleep. She also played poker with Uncle Matt and Uncle Stephen (don't ask!). Doesn't she have a great poker face? *smiles* :) Caden spent a lot of time running away from Sadie who likes to jump all over him. Luckily Grammie came to the rescue. :) I'd have to say that Caden's favourite gift was a bowling set. He got up at 7:00 this morning and bowled for over 2 1/2 hours. It was cute!

We woke up around 7:00 on Christmas morning and, while we were waiting for our little princess to wake up, we had a breakfast of waffles and sausages. Caden saw his new shopping cart when he came out of his room and that kept him entertained while we were getting breakfast. He was awake at about 6:15 on Christmas morning due to excitement but stayed in his room, so he was a little cranky at times because he was overtired. Caden had 3 time-outs on Christmas morning- we weren't very happy. But he got better as the day went on.

After Cayleigh woke up we opened our presents and it was fun. Jeff was happy with his books and other presents and so was I. Tomorrow Cayleigh and I get to go on a shopping spree and I can't wait! :) Jeff and Caden might go to the Science Museum or go swimming. It'll be fun.

So we let Caden play for a bit and then, after lunch, we went over to Grammie and Grampie Jones' house and opened more presents there. It was nice to spend the day with family. :) I am still overjoyed with the gift they got me- tickets back to NB in January. It is the most special gift ever. Now my parents and my sister and grandmother can see Caden and Cayleigh and I can see them again and all our friends from home. And I'll be able to go out after my sister has her baby as well. I'm SO excited! So make sure we have a day to hang out, Nicole! ;)

We had a great turkey dinner and I'm attempting to copy Debbie's great job today. I have never cooked a turkey on my own until today so we'll see how it turns out. My best friend, Cheryl, is coming over for supper as well as a person I met at our church in NB. So we'll probably play games and hang out this evening. I'm excited. I just hope I don't ruin the turkey... ;)

Christmas Eve

We had a lot of fun as a family on Christmas Eve. Caden and I baked a cake for Jesus' birthday and, as always, Caden enjoyed baking. Jeff got off work at 3:00 and that was nice. We had a nice supper that evening and we all opened 1 gift. Caden got a backhoe and was very happy. Little Cayleigh opened a rattle (with Daddy's help) and we're saving that for a little later when she'll be able to play with it. :)

Caden and Pooh- The Best of Friends :)

For fun Caden likes to change Pooh's diaper. It's funny watching him. And he talks to Pooh, takes Pooh in the van... Abbey, Caden's elephant, has been put to the sidelines for a bit. ;)

Merry Christmas from our little angels!

Well, we are all getting excited for Christmas. :) Caden is excited to bake a cake in 2 days for Jesus' birthday- we're going to do that on Christmas Eve. We've been trying to teach him the true meaning of Christmas and he's catching on. It's amazing how much he can understand. He'll say, "Jesus make sun. Jesus make moon. Jesus make trees. Jesus make Daddy's coffee!". So he sort of gets it... *smiles* He's also very excited to open his presents- he thinks he's getting trucks and "Grampie's trailer". There might be a truck or two under the tree, but no trailer. Sorry, Caden. ;)

I can't get over how quickly both Caden and Cayleigh are growing. Cayleigh smiles all the time and is getting chubbier by the day. We call her our little blowfish- poor little thing. One day I'm sure her cheeks are going to explode! ;) She has giggled on atleast 3 occasions and both Jeff and I love hearing that sweet sound. Caden is talking more and more and says the cutest things. On Saturday Grammie and Grampie Jones watched Caden and Cayleigh while Jeff and I went to Mike and Kim's Christmas party, and when we were taking Caden back home he said, "Love you, Grammie". It was so cute! And the next night when Grammie and Grampie watched Caden (we had Jeff's work party) he said "Love you, Sadie (their dog). Love you, tree (their plant). And on the way out he shouted, "LOVE YOU, GRAMMIE!". Caden is a special little boy and Cayleigh is a special little girl- atleast Mommy thinks so anyway. :)

So we hope you all have a great Christmas! I'll try my best to put up the pictures from Christmas day as soon as I can for you, Mom, because I know you'll be waiting. :) Bye for now!
