Ocho!

Kader is 8 months old. WHAT??? This little character is the love of my life. We are sleeping now!!! It makes everything so much easier and we are both a lot happier. Third try a charm on his acid medicine and this new one seems to work the best! I am enjoying motherhood right now so much. I think the fact that Kade is sleeping better helps. Days that I am not subbing I don't get anything done around my house, I hardely ever know where my phone is, but I sure do love to love on my little guy. He is SOOOOO much fun. Every little thing he does is just thrilling to me. I love to watch him play with his toys and discover the world around him. His personality is so funny to me. He is a HAM for sure.

Things Kade at 8 months:
* We love to play outside and at the park. Kade decided to eat leaves the other day and choked on them. He wasn't breathing and it was so scary. Luckily Nate was out with us and did the Heimlich (SP?) on him and he threw them all up.
*We do story time a few times a week at the library and even if Kade is tired before we go he always perks right up when we get there.
* He loves to swim, just doesn't like his life vest
* Loves to play his keyboard toy...well basically likes all toys and stuffed animals. He sleeps with the same stuffed monkey every night.
* Likes to eat anything and everything he can get his paws on. Especially his baby cookies, and yogurt puffs. The only baby food he doesn't like is sweet potatoes and carrots.
* He likes to climb into our entertainment center and mess with the DVD player
* He thinks baskets exists just to be tipped over
* He loves to snuggle with me and to be held. I love this part too. He is definitely in the "Mommy" stage
* Kade loves the high chairs at restaurants, for some reason they are way cooler than his at home.
* His favorite books right now are ones with pictures of other babies in them.
* He loves his running stroller and bike trailer so he can look around at things
* He is a binki boy. He no longer will take a bottle at all and even refuses a sippy cup. When I sub he just refuses to drink anything.
* He scrunches up his nose and does this funny sniff sniff thing when he laughs. It darn well might be the cutest thing anyone could ever see.
* He is the biggest blessing to mine and Nate's life

2nd Bi-Annual Tourney

Same thing....different day :). When I look through my blog I see that just about every single picture looks the same. The only difference is maybe a different hoodie, or different looking fish. Nate and I try to think of different hobbies but we don't really know what else to do. So I guess bring it on camping! Sometimes looking at blogs is bad for me cause I see all the different stuff other families do and get jealous cause we do the same things all the time. Nate hates when I spend too much time looking at others blogs cause I tell him I need to be a crafter cause every one is so good at  it. Or I see peoples cute hair, clean houses, etc... But conference was really good for me this weekend (Oh, easter pics soon to come) I am going to try to just be gratefull for what I have and not worry about what talents I lack. So here are some more pics of another fishing weekend...but I was gald I got to spend it with my family and good friends.

This was our 2nd Bi-Annual Fishing Tournament with the Greens. We are planning one every fall and spring season. I think we planned it just a little to early because the fish haven't started their spawn quite yet. Every time we go camping I swear that I am not going to do it again until Kade is five. But some how 2 weeks later I must forget and we try again. It's great to get out and spend time with friends. But Kade now has just basically put himself on a schedule. He really likes to get his nap on in his own crib and he gets grumpy without his sleep. I wonder where he got that from? :) He is so squishy and I love that it is cooler at night up there so we can snuggle up.

Sombs flew down from Vegas to join us and it was great having her their. We call her Auntie cause every time she comes down she as a new toy or outfit for Kade. It's nice having helpers when camping cause Kade is everywhere now.

The boys being rough and tough.

Well, Nate represented for the family once again this year and brought home the trophy. Kade really liked touching the fish, he is braver than I am.

Dirty little fella. If only he wouldn't put the rocks in his mouth then I could just let him roll around in the stuff all day.

Kade LOVED Fitzy, Dani's new dog. He would laugh so hard every time she licked him. Hopefully when Kade grows up he'll never ask for a dog...cause we all know I can't handle one for longer than a day.
