Christmas PJs

The kids in their Chritsmas PJs.

Mateo 2 months old


It is hard to believe Mateo is 2 months old now. He now is smiling at us when we talk to him. He weight 12 pounds 1o ounces and is 23 inches long. He has been growing like a weed recently. He is not sleeping any better but we hope that is going to change soon. We went to the doctor yesterday for his 2 month check up which included shoots. And he didn't cry at all! We are so proud of him.

Kaden and Mateo


Kaden and Mateo took pictures at Day Care this month. I am pleased with how they turned out. We had a hard time getting a picture of Mateo without a passy in his mouth. I was surprised at how well the picture of both of them turned out.

First Steps

Over the weekend, Kaden took her first step to her dad. Tonight she took more steps. She took 4 steps to her mommy! We are so excited. I can't believe my little girl is on the verge of walking.

Kaden's Kitchen



We gave Kaden the Fisher Price Learning Kitchen for her birthday. She loves it! Mommy likes it too. It teaches the alphabet, numbers, colors, and has fun songs. Kaden has already developed a bad habit; she loves to open the fridge and leave it open. Good thing it is just a play fridge. We will have to teach her to close the door.

Santa Visit

This past weekend we went to visit Santa. This was quite an adventure. The goal was to get there before Santa went on lunch break. Keep in mind that it is very hard to get out the door with 2 kids. I start getting us ready an hour before I need to leave. We had to wait for Kaden to wake up from her morning nap. So we did not get to the mall until 12:30 and they told us Santa was going on break soon and that we would have to come back at 2:00. We came back at 1:45 and they told us to come back at 2:30. We got in line at 2:15 and we didn't see Santa until 3:35ish. You can tell I was determined to get that picture with Santa. Mateo slept the entire time and Kaden did well. It wore all of us out though. Next year we will go much earlier in the month and earlier in the day. The good news out of this was we got to do some of our Christmas shopping while we waited on Santa.

Praise God

We went to the cardiologist on Wednesday with Mateo. After waiting 1.5 hours to been seen, we received the good news. The problem with Mateo's heart has corrected itself. We are very thankful this. We also made it through the visit without Mateo screaming, which is a first. Thank you for your prayers.

Cardiologist Visit

Tomorrow we take Mateo for his follow up at the cardiologist. Please pray that his problem has corrected itself.

Kaden's birthday party

We asked for people to give Kaden books. She loves to read books and mommy is glad to have some new books to read to her.
We had an Elmo theme. Kaden loves Elmo very much!

Baby Einstein: Neighboorhood Animals! Kaden loves animals and gets very excited when she watches Baby Einstein.
We gave Kaden the fisher price learning kitchen. She absolutely loves it. I will get a picture of her playing with it and post it.


On Saturday we had a party for Kaden with a few close friends. Kaden had a wonderful time and she got a lot of nice gifts.

Kaden's 1st birthday




As you can see Kaden really enjoyed her cupcake.


Happy Birthday to me

It's my birthday and I can cry if I want to...
It is hard for me to believe that my baby girl is one now. She woke up a little cranky on her birthday but after she had her bottle of milk everything was all good. We celebrated her birthday with just us since it was during the week. We gave her a cupcake which she thoroughly enjoyed as you can see and sang Happy Birthday to her.
