playing ketchup again....

My lil man. Oh, my sweet lil man. He gives me a run for my money some days. He is just the busiest boy I know. Even when he is doing a relaxing activity such as making Mama color pictures he is still squirming, bouncing and talking up a storm. He sure does keep me going with his busy self.

His newest skill is learning colors in Spanish. He currently knows: azuel, rojo, verde, blanco, and amarillo. (Blue, red, green, white, and yellow) He is so proud to show how well he knows his colors in Spanish. I often wonder how long he'll keep this with him. I guess as long as we keep teaching and being repetitive he'll remember, right?

It's hard to believe he is almost 2 1/2 years old. Where does the time go? I still remember the day I gave birth to him like it was yesterday. Some nights while laying in bed (next to him as we are currently sharing a room at Grandma's house) I replay being pregnant with him and the day of his birth. One of the happiest days of my life.

I haven't been able to capture a good smiling picture of lil man in a while. I can only get a cheesy grin with his eyes closed..




or with a mouth full of food..........



or crying...........
I'm sure Adisyn will look back at these pictures wondering what the heck is wrong with her big brother. Well, sweetie - I think he is just jealous since you are the baby and he doesn't like you touching his "stuff". He does love you though. In his own way and I know once he is older he'll be very protective of you.


"Whatcha cryin' like that for, brother? Mama just wants a picture of us together."



"Oh my. Are you for real? Just smile for once silly brother"



Adisyn clearly has no problem with Caden. She LOVES her big brother. She is always watching him and wanting to play and interact with him. It's simply adorable. My favorite is in the morning when I pull her out of the play yard and she looks right at the bed looking for Caden. When she finds him a huge smile spreads across her face. It melts my heart every time.

Adisyn is still doing well on table foods. Her all time favorite is avacados, cheese, bananas and graham crackers. Two of her favorites does not help her constipation issues, so we don't do them very often. Since her transition to table foods I've had to give her some suppositories and now a daily does of Miralax. We continue to try the sippy cup and it is getting better even if I'm the one holding it. She is starting to swallow her juice/water rather than spitting it out or attempting to "chew" it.
I have a feeling within the next two months she'll be crawling. She is trying so hard to get up on those hands and knees and she can lift her upper body off the floor like it is nobody's business. For now rolling around gets her anywhere she is determined to go for the moment.
I simply adore this girl.



and so does everyone else.



***************
We bought our new house Memorial weekend and it's now mid September. The kids and I are comfortably living at Grandma and Papa's house. We are anxiously awaiting the move in day, which is not too far away. Maybe one more month or less. Ryan started a new job that we hoped would have given more time to work on the house (and more family time once the house is done), but it's actually done quite the opposite. Some changes have taken place at his job, so hopefully in the next few weeks his hours won't be as long. Fingers crossed.
