Kayden's 2 Year Appointment

Today we had Kayden's 2 year well child check up today. It was our last appointment with our Pediatrician before she leaves for a year!! So let's hope our next appointment for K is his 3 year check up w/ her next year!! :) It was Hannah's 1st time at daycare so Kayden and I got donuts and visited Mommy's work girls and Auntie Holly. As we walked down the hall to Holly's desk it was "Holly...are you?? Holly...are you?" Everyone knew he was coming! :) Then to his Dr. appointment, everything looked good - he even had fluid in his ears, the aftermath of one of his 100 colds. He got 2 shots...he didn't know they were coming and he was soooooo MAD. The nurse thought for sure he'd hate her forever, but after a hug and kisses from Mom, and his nuk he screamed BUH BYE to her. :)

After that we met Dad at RochesterFest and then walked to Thursdays on 1st and ate lunch. Kayden jammed to the music and flashed his smile at many ladies. We even had a chance to say hi to Cayen, after we left he said "No Pax? Where Pax?" :) (Pax is Cayen's little guy, see their blog - we have the link on the side of ours.) And then we splashed and played in the Peace Plaza before heading back to pick up Hannah! Kayden had a nice lunch date w/ Mom & Dad!


Here are his 2 year stats! Both the Dr. and I thought he was taller then that, but he's hanging on the mid-range!

28 lbs. 12 oz. (63rd percentile)
33.93 inches tall (52nd percentile)
50.10 cm head circumference (86th percentile)


Before the Dr came in he was making himself at home. Right before this he was laying on his stomach, legs crossed, feet in the air, singing. He had to get comfy apparently.

SPLASH!

Our Little Hams!

I admit...I like to take pictures. Everyone who knows me will agree with this. I am also proud to say that I have the cutest kids in the world so it makes taking pictures that much better!! Yes - to all those wondering, they are both camera trained - as these pictures will show you!! The first couple are just hilarious...b/c when we try and get good pictures of the kids together Hannah looks like she fears for her life and Kayden just stares at Hannah. Trust me we are working on this.

CHEESE BALL

Kayden's new trick this week...takes his shirt off while he sleeps. Here is saying "here go Mom - shirt." We thought it was the tags, we cut them off. The necks are now 3 times their original size. Yesterday when I got him after his nap he was stuck. Both arms and head stuck in the neck hole of his t-shirt. Mother of God, what a goober.

What a pretty girl!!

Here she is giggling...hehe TOO CUTE! :)

Some Pictures From This Week!

I am trying to be more diligent with updating the blog w/ pictures, etc. since I'm using it as the kids baby books and something they'll be able to look back on. So let's cross our fingers I hold up my end of the bargain!! Here are some pictures of these 2 lil' cuties from this week!

Kayden quotes for the week:
I told Kayden his new haircut looked handsome..."I handsome like daddy."
Playing at G-ma & G-pa Loftus' - "it okay, I be right back."
Lost his ball under the deck - "oh no, oh jeez, AH MAN!!"

Kayden's Trip to the Zoo

On Friday Eric and I took Kayden to the Minnesota Zoo, Hannah got to spend the day w/ G-ma Lind. It had been like 5 years since Eric had been there, and K and I went last year a few times with friends. This time though, he was walking, talking, and making all the animal noises!! It was a lot of fun. We dodged rain drops here and there, but more importantly...Kayden got a tractor ride. They had a big John Deere and trailer that gave free rides to the farm at the zoo. And as the attendant said, "its the only thing free at the zoo." The man made a fine point. Kayden was the star of the ride screaming and yelling the whole time! Here are some pictures, and the video of when Kayden saw the chickens!


CHICKENS! gobble gobble lol
