Jade 22 months

 22 months old.

 She has very strange eating habits. She likes to eat the crust but nothing else. She eats string cheese, granola bars pretty much everything like this.

 "I see you!" she says. Standing on the diaper box and looking at me.

 No more pics mom!

 Being a good little mommy. Kasen lays on this pillow a lot so thats why she is tucking them in on it and giving them kisses.

 Nap time in her big bed.

 Tickles with Papa Al. So funny cause she had just watched Aiden get tickled and say he needed to go pee so grandpa stopped. She gets tickled and says "I need to go pee!"

first piggy tail braids.

 Oh mom! why do you have to take so gosh dang many pictures!

 Cause you are just so gosh darn cute thats why!

Jade love my mom's dogs. She loves to follow them around and feed them dog food.

 Playing with sand, actually i think she was eating it... yuck!

She LOVES to color! Like Loves to. So funny cause Aiden has no interest.

She loved this ginger bread house I got out with Christmas decorations. She played with it for ours pretending to eat it.

 Such a cutie pie.

Love her.

I thought it seemed quite. Jade unloaded both her brothers clothes. And she is apparently on a pants strike.

 She will randomly give Aiden hugs. Love it.

My friend Sydni came to help me straighten up the edges and give her layers. Gonna keep it short until it is nice and thick. 

Because coloring one side would just be silly.

She also loves to paint.

 And gets so very sad when mommy puts it away. Look at that face and slumped shoulders. She will walk around with them slumped when she is sad.

 Getting her used to the potty... Not yet but soon.

 She loves piggy back rides.

I think it is so cute when she falls asleep in her chair. Some days nap time can't come soon enough.

All about Kasen

Our little Kasen is full of smiles sn talks all the time. He still isn't much of a fan of tummy time and will roll over both ways now. He is learning to swat at and play with his toys. Loves faces, when we talk to him and being held so he can look around. He slept through the night for the first time last night.  His Dr. says he he is swatting things early for a 2 month old.

He however is NOT a Binky baby at all! This makes me sad. He does well without one but it would be nice if he took one in the car or at night sometimes. He doesn't cry all that often so its ok that he doesn't take one.

Such a cutie. He does tummy time when he wants but only for as long as he wants unless I hold him there he will roll over.

Love those cheeks.

This is one of my fav outfits so cute!

I love the facial expressions this little boy does.

Chilling on Aiden's bed.

Two of his favorite things, his hood and being swaddled.

Come on Mommy, no more tummy time.

This is his favorite way to be carried.

Chubby cheeks

Oh that Daddy! Doesn't like his picture taken.

Snuggles in Jade's bed.

Meeting Great-Grandma Page for the first time. She thought "Little Merrill" was pretty cute!

Sometimes I have a hard time letting him sleep he is so cute!

Smiles for Daddy!

So cute, Sleeping with his Daddy!

Starting to smile more!

Kasen and his biggest fan, Aiden. Aiden still loves to touch Kasen's hair. I constantly have to remind him not to touch his face. "But I want to touch his hair!"

Playing under Kasen's toy.

Bath time! He got his first shower the other day! He actually liked it!

Blessing Day! We blessed Kasen on the 6th of December! 

In the blessing circle was: Jerel, Alan Nielsen, Eldon Nielsen, John Vincent, and Ryan Achatz. 

Had to take a pic of him just in his diaper cause he is growing so fast!

Cute little face.

Blue tie & Socks. We actually blessed Aiden in the same outfit, right down to the tie and socks!

Smiles for Daddy!

Love this little family of mine! We were so grateful for all the family that was able to come support us was we blessed Kasen. 

Kasen and Daddy. He slept right through the blessing.

Great-Grandma Page and Kasen. She must have been nice and warm cause he went right to sleep in her arms.

Playing with his turtle after the blessing.

Wow! What a day! Blessing days are rough! Haha.

Loves being held so he can see.

I love that you can see his little face in the mirror. He loves looking at himself in mirrors even though i doubt he knows that what he is looking at.

Only smiles for Daddy!

My cute little toads.

He is always happy to be with Aiden.

Sitting in his bumbo for the first time. He did really good.

I love when I catch him sleeping with his arms up.

Is it?

Yes! Smiles for Mommy! Finally! He usually only smiles for Daddy but not any more!

This is how i shower.... Not a bad idea...

He really likes looking at the balls on the wall.

And doesn't mind looking at the chevron on his crib sheet. Kinda trippy though.

Cute little fire engine outfit.

Kasen and Mommy.

Cute little lion jammies that are a little too big but thats ok.

Tummy time with Aiden.

We love you to the moon and back little boy! You bring such a sweet spirit to our home and we love having you, you complete our family!
