Kayden's Visit with Santa

Kayden was not at all afraid of Santa! In fact, I think they are new best friends! He loves taking pictures and he was all about smiling for the creepy Santa elves. They said he was the best behaved kid / baby that they'd had in there all week! (We went and visited Santa the week before Christmas.)

Kayden's First Christmas Morning!

Here are some Christmas morning shots, little man was wide eyed and bushy tailed at about 7:00am. Santa brought Kayden a 4 wheeler, a swing for outside, a movie, and some bath toys! He did pretty good helping us open his presents.

If all else fails....Kayden just sucked on all his Xmas presents!


Grandma and Grandpa

All tuckered out after his first Christmas morning!

Kayden's First Christmas (Eve)!

Here are some pictures from Kayden's First Christmas Eve, we started out visiting Eric's Grandpa. Kayden got to meet his Great Grandpa Parsons for the first time. We spent the evening at my mom and dad's. Kayden hadn't really napped, so he finally fell asleep and napped while we all ate supper and opened our gifts! Then when he woke up Connor and I helped him open his table full of presents. He started to help unwrap some of them and loved all the loud NOISEMAKERS from Auntie and Grandma! Yeah, thanks guys!

Meeting Great Grandpa for the first time. Neither one were the most cooperative for the camera!

Our first Christmas Eve as a family!

Mama's Boy...dressed alike...no we didn't plan it!

Trying to get a Christmas card picture.....


Success! Thanks to Uncle Mike and Connor for making Kayden laugh!


Daddy!

Family Picture at the Nelson Family Christmas

And here I thought this would be a cute picture, of us giving Kayden a kiss.......I guess I thought wrong. :) LOL

Mr. Giggle Pants

Since we are lucky enough to live in Minnesota and "enjoy" the -40 windchill, I was wearing my hat when we got home from the family Xmas....and apparently Kayden thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. Here's our little Comedian at work! Enjoy!

Here's what Kayden was laughing at...Mommy!
Yes, I know - funny looking, but I was warm!

Nelson Family Christmas

We had the Nelson Family Christmas this weekend at my mom and dad's. Just about everyone who lives around here was able to make it, in the NASTY weather. The other half of the family resides in California....where those lucky ducks were NOT experiencing -40 windchills for the drive home! We miss & love you guys! Lucky us and our fun MN weather!
Here are some pictures from the day!


Kayden opening his first Christmas presents, with Connor's assistance. A first Xmas snowglobe from G-ma and G-pa and some fun toys from Aunt Coralie & Uncle Dayton.


Eating some squash with help from Auntie!


The boys posing for cute pictures!

Yeah - more smiles.

Kayden punching Connor b/c he got in his bubble.......

now Kayden is pretty pleased with himself, and Connor is done with pictures.

FIRST Food!

After my hectic week of dance EVERY night last week, we finally started Kayden on his first foods. We started with sweet potatoes - and they were a hit! He has yet to NOT like any of his food....imagine that, our little 5 1/2 month old is now weighing in at 20 lbs! Sometimes his belly still even needs oatmeal or a bottle to wash down his food.



Trying our first food....sweet potatoes


These aren't too bad!


Yummy....get some more in my belly!

Hanging with the Family

Here are some pictures of our family over Thanksgiving break and around there!


Samantha and Jen

Jodi's belly - I told her I wouldn't put this on the Internet! :) I think she's like 25 weeks in this picture?? Not sure.


Cousin Connor....a dancin' machine - I know AWESOME moves! (to Grandma's snowmen, and other singing Xmas decorations)


Kayden sat all by himself for Auntie Jodi....about 5 seconds after this picture was taken he tipped over. :)


Proud Cousin watching Kayden sit by himself


My new favorite picture of me and my little ham! HE loves the camera! Good thing since I'm his mom!


After Thanksgiving dinner, hanging with Uncle Brandon


Relaxing with Aunt Kristie after our big Turkey meal


Reading the AARP magazine at G-ma & G-Pa Loftus' on Thanksgiving...I think we need to get them some more kid friendly books. Although they did keep Mike and Amy entertained.

Kayden's First Thanksgiving. He had oatmeal for his meal!

Loving Great Grandma, he always holds her hand when she feeds him, its cute!

Playing with Connor....and thinking "what's he doing under here?"

Laughing with Grandma Lind - they are so silly!
