Fun times

I just LOVE this picture of Kade! He is finally got a little bit of me coming out in him! Don't get me wrong...I LOVE that he looks like his Daddy... but there's a little bit of me coming out and it's so much fun!

He worked hard so he needed to relax....ha!

Here Kade is actually listening to our IPOD. He has played with the headphones forever... so I decided to see what he would do... he danced! Just like he does when we have music going in his room. I think it's so cool that he loves music. I hope that he desires to play an instrument and does well at it. He looks like his Papa here, too.

Put them on... take them off... put them on... take them off... repeat!

Cutest boy!! I just love him!

All by Himself

After practicing a lot with Mom and Dad, Kade will now push one of his toys! Yea! We're finally getting enough courage and strength to walk across the room. I know that this is exciting and several of you are going to say... just wait after he's walking you'll be wishing for him to just be crawling. I know, I know, but how exciting for your only child to begin to walk!

Walking

Kade does things on his time...not ours or the doctors or the books. I like that about him so much. However, sometimes he has been hard to wait on his time. With Lafe and I pushing hard for him to start walking though the use of walkers, toys that you walk behind, standing with him and moving his feet... Kade really did not have any interest in learning what we wanted to teach him. Until the past couple of days... Lafe showed him how to walk by holding onto his fingers and he really enjoys it! Kade will crawl up to one of us and pull on our fingers wanting to practice walking! I love it! It is really neat that the Lord has been using Kade in our lives to remind us that no matter how much we ask, pray, or try to make things happen... it is God's timing for our lives. Really cool how a 13 (14 month old tomorrow!) can be used of the Lord already!!

No snow!

We thought we would show Kade about playing in the snow... however, he would have NONE of it! I don't think he liked the cold temperature or being wet. Maybe we'll try again next time AND after a nap instead of before!

Forgotten Christmas Decoration....

Kade crawled into the laundry room and pulled open a box that had Christmas decorations in it. We hadn't put it in the attic just yet. He brought it into the living room and shared the Snowman over and over and over again with Mommy and Daddy! Thanks for sharing, Kade Samuel! It was fun to watch him move and learn how to turn it on and off! He's growing so fast!!

Daddy plays the guitar... and I already know how to play and sing!

January

Kade was allowed to bring home this jumping Zebra from MaMo's house. We are thankful. He is jumping and pulling up and all sorts of fun things. It's great to have another fun new toy!

So, Lafe plays the guitar and just puts it in the guest bedroom. Well, occasionally we leave the doors open or we forget to shut them since Kade loves to open and close (slam) them... he was playing on Daddy's guitar!

American Idol ... don't really know.... involved in music ... most likely...

Kade was given this towel as one of his presents from MaMo... we needed to take some pictures of this little froggie!
