Flexibility!

Just another thing our kiddos teach us a whole new meaning of;-) On Tuesday my friend Brenda and I were going to go up to Scottsdale to shop, lunch and dessert it but on the way Camila had a breakdown and was very upset so we turned around and headed back to the Chandler mall. Kayden kept looking at her and offering her toys and trying to figure out why us mommies couldn't calm her down. When Brenda took her out of the car she seemed happy so we thought it must just be a day she was rejecting the car.......so Christa came and met us for lunch at the Cheesecake factory and Camila suffered through the lunch, she wasn't having a good day and I felt so bad for her. After that we walked around and shopped for a bit and on the way home the bambinos fell asleep......the perfect end to their crazy date!

Kayden the little babysitter!

Yesterday we watched Audrey for Sara while she went to a doctor's appt. At the playdate we were at Kayden was a little jealous when Sara handed Audrey to me and she had to leave so I was worried once we got to our house I'd have my hands full. But it was as if Kayden knew Audrey's mommy wasn't there and he had to share his mommy. He didn't cry or try to get b/t me and the baby like he usually does, he just tried to help. When we got home from the playdate and I carried him in on my hip and Audrey in in the carseat, I went to put my diaper bag down and I came back to him rocking Audrey in the carseat:-) They played great together, he showed her his pots and pans in the cupboards and they had fun banging them, they played basketball together, and then he showed her the playroom and she went to town. I tried to get her to come through his tunnel and she just looked at me so then Kayden came and stood on the other end and jabbered at her to come through and she crawled right through it. Then they were crawling back and forth through it together. We went for a walk in the wagon and Audrey couldn't stop smiling she was so impressed with herself for being such a big girl. When I was changing Audrey's diaper Kayden thought he needed to "help" and kept handing me wipes saying "there" and then he wiped her belly with a diaper wipe........I'm thinking he was telling me we need to have a baby in our house soon?? We had so much fun watching Audrey, we hope Sara has another doctor's appt soon so Audrey can come play again and Kayden can freshen up his big brother skills. Now that Kayden is on board we just need to get daddy on board;-)

"Bye Dada"

Kayden said his first two word phrase this morning!! He has said "and this", "and that" and other similar phrases but this was the first 2 words he said that both carry meaning! I was so excited:-) Kyle was getting ready to walk out the door and he always says "bye bye" and waves but this morning he waved and said "bye dada". Daddy and I couldn't believe our ears and thought maybe we were both hearing things but then he did it several more times, once daddy got in the car, as we were walking down the driveway to take Fifi to potty at the park, and as daddy drove by us on his way to work he yelled it to daddy.

Yours, mine and ours

Last night we had dinner with our friends and Kayden let Tula borrow his shoes and I tried her water shoes on him to see what size I should order him. Well he thought he was pretty funky in the crazy shoes and Tula thought it was hysterical, she busted out in belly laughs everytime she ran into him. They were doing laps around the kitchen and showing off their cool shoes to Kyle and John. The site was pretty funny to watch. I love those baby belly laughs so much! The babies are all playing really well together right now and teaching each other new tricks, Tula now likes to pull toys because Kayden showed her it was "cool" and Kayden likes to go down slides because Tatum told him it was fun. Peer pressure already! Oh yes, another highlight of the evening, Kayden wouldn't eat his dinner in the highchair so I took him out, Tatum took his place and then preceeded to throw food on the ground and Kayden decided it was yummy to eat his veggies off the floor??!? What a crazy kid, I guess he thinks Fifi is a good role model??

Splish Splash

Kayden went with his friends from the mommy group to the splash pad at Santan mall on Thursday and had alot of fun. It amazes me that I have a baby big enough to play at a splashpad now?!? When did that happen??? He kept wanting to run on the HOT cement though and go play with the rocks, we need to get him some of Tula's cool water shoes.

Swimming and ducks!

Crazy sunblock hair and yummy watermelon!




Today we went swimming at Christa's community pool with our mommy group. Kayden had so much fun in the water and sharing snacks w/ his friends but his favorite part of the day were the ducks! He went running after them and even tried to jump in the lake w/ them.

My cape

Kayden loves to run around after bath time w/ his towel on as a cape (Daddy said I can't put the photos on that have nekkid baby in them;-) so I only have 2 with just his head.
