Shoes

Cayden loves to wear our shoes!

Should have known..

I was busy in the kitchen doing dishes a few weeks back and was thinking how great it was that Cayden was quietly playing in his room(he is usually my little shadow) when he came out looking like this..

I know it could have been worse, but the lotion was on our bedroom furniture, our bed, and the carpet. At least I got a good laugh =)

Such a boy..

I have started to realize I need to start documenting things for my blog books that Cayden does or says, so with that in mind, here a two things that made me laugh today...

Cayden loves, loves, loves to play with our phones or any electronic for that matter (what kid doesnt) and usually he always gets to the part where the lady says.."please say a command"..well he usually never says anything but today he had a very important command he wanted to tell her, so when she stated "please say a command"...he said "poo poo!"

I have been going back and forth on whether or not to have a birthday party for Cayden, I have had the theme picked out since right after his first birthday( I know im weird) which is trains..he loves them plus I thought it would be cute. Mike and I were in Cayden's room with him discussing it tonight and I decided to see if Cayden had an opinion about it. I asked "cayden..do you want to have a train party?"..his response.."nooo", "do you want to have an airplane party?".."nooo", "do you want to have a fire truck party?" "nooo". "what about a Mickey Party?" "nooo". So I finally ask, "well what kind of party do you want this year?" and like the little boy he is he responds.."pee pee"

diaper drama!

A few weeks ago while my sister was on Christmas break she came over to work on some crafts with me. When it was time for Cayden to take his "nap" I got him in some comfy pants and put him down. Cayden has been having a lot of napping issues, like not napping at all. He will sit and play in his crib for 2 to 3 hours until it is too late for him to take a nap( I would like him to sleep that night). Recently a problem was that he would go poop and not want to sleep because of it, I definitely don't blame him on that one. Well because this was happening often I would often go in there after a half hour or so to see if that's why he wasn't asleep yet. Well we were having one of those days where he was not falling asleep and crying, so Julie suggested I go check on him in case he did poop. I went in there and picked him up to find myself wondering why I was touching his bottom..I turned the lights on(it was really dark) to find this..He had pulled his pants down and managed to partly take his diaper off..luckily there was no poop in it but he did potty in his sheets..Julie and I had a pretty good laugh..

A week or two later my mom was on her day off and it was time to put Cayden down, I needed to make a few errands so my mom stayed home while Cayden "slept". When I got home my dad told me I needed to go into Cayden's room. When I got to the door I found this...

Cayden once again had pulled down his pants and took off his diaper but this time there was poop involved! He took his diaper completely off and threw it out of his crib, luckily it landed well so there wasn't a mess all over the carpet but there was poop on his bumper and sheets. Luckily there was no sign of it on his face, just his hands which we hope is from him taking off his diaper. My mom and I couldn't help but laugh, I am just glad my mom decided to go check on him since he wasn't napping, she on the other hand wishes she didn't

Lesson is definitely learned: Cayden now has either a sleeper or a onesie on when it is time for him to "nap" =)

Bye bye curls

Cayden has had his hair cut twice in the past and both times I was happy to see the hair go, but for some reason I was getting really attached to his long, curly, messy hair. I was debating for weeks on weather or not to cut it and finally a few weeks ago I got the courage. So Mike and I decided to just pull out the cutters this time..I have to say I was really happy with the results, especially since it was free! He really did need it! The thing that was hard to deal with was how old he looked after! He went from looking like a 20 month old to a 3 year old!!

He is so silly, the only way I can get Cayden to smile for the camera these days is to tell him to show me his teeth...this is what I get, I love him =)

Temple lights!

On New Years weekend we were able to go to the Los Angeles Temple with Jared and Amanda to see the Christmas lights! We seem to go every year so I was really glad we were able to go even if it was after Christmas.

It was really foggy that night but made the temple look really neat..after walking around we went to Diddy Riese which I was really looking foward to..it was a great night!

Christmas eve night and christmas day!

Ok, ok.. yes I am still posting about Christmas, but this is I promise the last post! After all the fun at my parents house we headed over to Mike's parent's house for some more family fun!

Isn't nice that Santa decided to come by for a visit??

As you can see, I ended up doing all of the unwrapping, I think Cayden was burnt out on opening presents by the end of the day..

The next morning we had church and we attempted to get a family photo before we left, but we all know how that goes with a 1 1/2 year old...

he started to have a little melt down in the middle of it so we sadly didn't get a very good one but hey it's better than nothing =)

That night we had yet another family party! This time it was at my parents house and it was for my dad's side..

Christmas was soo good this year, Cayden's age, the food, family, music, everything..it is really hard to believe that January is already almost over!
