Reading a book after bathtime.
Kaden enjoys having this big bathtub to herself.
Mateo has just recently started enyoing his baths. Soon he will get to enjoy the big bathtub with his sister.
I love this picture. It is so sweet to see Kaden walking with her Daddy.
This is the first time that Kaden went down the slide by herself. Kaden didn't hate the slide but didn't love it either.
Daddy's little girl.
Peek a boo
Look at me driving.
I can't believe that Mateo is 3 months old today. He has grown so much. He now smiles all the time and Gilbert has heard him laugh. He has slept through the night 4 times this week. I hope that this will become a habit. He is adjusting to daycare better than I thought he would, although he has already caught a cold. I am not sure what he weighs now but we are going to the doctor next week for his 3 month check up.
I was well over due for a new hair style. I am very pleased with this hair cut. My hair is too short to put in a pony tail so this forces me to style it. On another note, I start back to work in the office tomorrow. I'm sad about leaving Mateo at day care. I thought it would be easier the second time around but it is just as hard. Mateo is not as easy going as Kaden was as a baby. He does not like the bouncy seat or the swing and demands to be held otherwise he screams. At day care they can not hold him all day. I have tried my best to get him used to the bouncy seat and swing but I was not very successful. I just pray that his first few days are not to hard on him.
Stephanie gave Kaden this great toy that is a magnet for the fridge. It is a farm and you match the animals. We love it!
Santa brought this walker to Kaden. She doesn't need help walking now but it encourages her to walk instead of crawling. She is walking great bare foot. Now we are working on her walking with shoes on.
Our Christmas Tree. Kaden liked looking at the lights on the tree. Maybe next year she can help decorate it.
Hmm... Wonder what it is. Could it be a baby Einstein DVD?
Mateo woke up about half way through opening gifts.
Kaden is still too young to understand what is going on but it was fun to watch her tear the paper. Of course then she wanted to put it in her mouth.
We had a very nice and quiet Christmas. We spent it just the 4 of us and enjoyed some great family time.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
Our beautiful girl! Two weekends ago we went to a car show. We all had a great time.
Mateo missed all the excitement. He slept the entire time.
Kaden was such a ham at the show. She sat in the car and waved at everyone as if she was a beauty queen. It was the cutest and funniest thing.

These cars and motorcycle were in the exotic car section.
This was the car in Iron Man.
These cars were in the millionaire row section.
This car is $700,000 with a 2 year waiting list. Any takers?
