My Baby Turns Two

Two years ago today Kayden was born. He weighed in at 8 lbs. 10 oz and was 20 inches long. It is hard to believe that he is two! He has changed a lot in just two years. He has gone from just sleeping and pooping to loving trucks and books along with just about everything his brothers love. Here are some memories from when Kayden was born:

Sadly, we lost most of the pictures we had of Kayden that we took while still in the hospital. Our computer crashed after I had uploaded the pictures and then deleted them off the camera. Thankfully Grandma was there with her camera. This picture of Kayden was taken in the nursery shortly after his first bath. He is sucking away on his fingers.

Kayden's first bath at home. He didn't like it much.

I took Kayden to his two year old check up the other day and he is little no longer. He is in the 99% for height and 97% for weight. He is the size of a three year old.

Kayden and I tagged along with Josh and his preschool class today and went to the fire station. Kayden loves trucks (or as Kayden would say "uck") more than anything.

After the fire station, we went to the park. Kayden loves going down the slide and he also loves to swing.

Tonight, in celebration of his and Joshua's birthday (more to come on Josh's birthday) we went to a fun new restaurant called Pirate Island. They have a fun little play place and an arcade for the kids to play in. Here is Kayden aboard the pirate ship.

Singing "Happy Birthday".

Opening presents. Here he received an elephant. On top of trucks and books, Kayden loves elephants (or as Kayden would say "eh-eh").

Opening presents. He received a bulldozer and a monster truck set. He was in truck heaven.

Two things we love about Kayden:

1. His contagious giggle.
2. Kayden loves to sing. His favorites are "Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". I especially like it when he sings a long with me or while he is in his bed at night.

Happy Second Birthday Kayden. We love you!
