Caden Looks More Like Mommy!

Beach Fun!

We went to the Edmonds Beach and dog park. We hadn't been in a while which is sad because it has been our favorite place in the past to unwind. We had a lot of fun and Tara, needless to say, was thrilled as well. I love the picture we took of our shadows. I turned to the side so that you could see my growing belly. It's hard to believe we will soon be a family of FOUR! I'm really excited but I also know that it is going to be a lot of hard work.

Funny Story

Nate was on the phone with his Mom and they were talking about when we were going to have the baby and Nate said "We picked a Friday so that we could have the weekend to relax." His Mom laughed of coarse because I don't think there will be very many relaxing moments with a new born and a one year old! Anyway enjoy the pictures, also if anyone who checks this blog has their own blog let me know because I am loving this blogging thing!

Couch Olympics!

Here are some videos of Caden practicing climbing. After you watch the getting down video, just keep in mind that he's not crying so he's fine:)

He's coming soon!

We set a date for the C-section. November 30th. If I don't go into Labor before then we will just go in and get him. I'm nervous of coarse, it is surgery after all but I'm kinda looking forward to it. It sounds weird but it's true. Last time I had to go through 30 something hours of labor and not eating and not sleeping and then go through the C section and recovery! This time I will just go in the morning after a good nights rest and it takes about an hour and a half till the surgery is done and I'll have my baby! Also, they had to take Caden away from me last time, which I didn't like, because of the risk of infection from my water being broken. This time after the surgery I will get to take him right into the recovery room with me and Nate too! Last time he went with the baby like I had asked him to. A boy needs his Daddy plus I was too drugged to know who was in the room :) I'm just glad I'll be getting my little boy one way or another. And all of you will have a Nephew, Grandson, or Friends Cute Baby no later than November 30th! Funny thing, Caden and his Little brother will be born in the same month! Would I be a horrible mom if I combine their birthdays?

It's getting Cold!

Because it's starting to get pretty cold here, we decided Caden needed some good winter clothes. We got him a coat and hat and after taking them for a spin we reallized we are going to need to get him some pants too. His jeans got soaked. He's getting really good at walking by our sides but he is still taking it slow on his own.

To the Playground!!

Me and Caden went to the little playground at our apartments for the first time. I decided he was finally big enough to try it out. He liked going down the slide holding on to my finger and then trying to climb up it again. I'm trying to get him used to walking around more. He can walk like a pro if he's holding my finger which is nice because I don't have to carry him as much. I'm hoping that by the time the baby comes he will be better at walking.

The only part I didn't like about taking him to the playground was that he thinks the woodchips are more like potato chips in that he tries to eat them. He still tries even after he gets that look on his face that tells me he knows it tastes nasty. It's something I still don't understand about my little guy.
As we were walking to the playgroung Caden stumbled (litterally) apon this rock and just had to sit down and explore it.

Since we had so much fun I've decided to start taking him everyday after lunch. I'm excited because I love to go out but without a car to drive I'm a little limited in where I can go and until now it wasn't that fun to go play out side with Caden. It's a new adventure everyday for us both:)

Family Pictures by Rebecca

Nate's wonderful big sister took some family pictures for us when we were in Utah visiting.
I love the ones of just Caden and the bottom one is my favorite of all three of us.
