Kayden's 1st Halloween!

Well Kayden's first Halloween is officially done. And we are all exhausted! We carved pumpkins the other night at Jodi and Mike's. Connor tried to help Eric, and it turned out pretty cute. Eric was in charge of carving, Connor and I in charge of getting the guts out...yea, Eric ended up doing that too! :)

Today after receiving his first trick or treat prize from daycare we went to my work and showed off our little pumpkin. We had to stop by and see everyone b/c I had been talking about the costume all week. He was a hit and a very good boy for not having napped. Then we took Eric out for lunch and went to his work...saw a few people, those that had to work since everyone else had left! Then we hit the mall for some deals and some cute ProEx Halloween pics. I finally got Kayden to take a 2 hour nap and that was all he had all day. The little pumpkin was exhausted but managed to hit the neighbors to say HI and trick or treat. Then we had to put on our Tigger costume that Connor picked out so the boys could match, he was pretty proud. Our last trek of the day to G & G Loftus' to see them and Auntie Kristie and cousins Sam & Charlie. He came home and crashed and instead of me going to bed, I am updating this and facebook. I know - sad - but I want to keep everyone updated, after all it's Kayden's First Halloween.

Hope everyone got all their tricks and treats, Happy Halloween!

Check Up w/ the Dr....Doing Awesome

Here is a picture of what was labeled "the angry duck." We went to Kayden's Peditrician for a check up on some tummy aches and to check his stitches. When we were leaving he was throwing a fit and was very angry...but when I took my phone out to snap his picture as an "angry duck" he'd stop and pose. Tried it twice...little ham!

The doctor said that after reading the notes from the ER doctor that Kayden looked "awesome." She thought he was going to look much worse. We are all thankful that he is such a tough little bruiser because it hasn't bothered him at all! Also his tummy aches are improving, AND she thinks he's getting teeth!!! Yes, very early we know, but she said his bottom gums were swollen and she's guessing we are close. He's been chomping and drooling and sucking on everything this past week, so we'll see what happens!

Kayden the Bruiser, His 1st ER Visit

We had quite the morning today - Kayden and our daycare lady took a little tumble and Kayden grazed the corner of a desk. Mom and Dad and the Daycare are definately more shook up then our little Bruiser. When we got there he had only smiles and hugs for his sobbing Mom and nervous Dad. Accidents happen to everyone - so are very thankful that everyone is alright! After 2 1/2 hours in the Emergency Room, 4 Xrays, and flirting w/ all the nurses and interns, he has only 3 stitches & a monster goose egg. Eric told him this is not the way to get us both to leave work and spend the day with him. I pretty much just cuddled with him the entire afternoon and wouldn't put him down at the ER. Glad he is all good, and still laughing and giggling at us. Hope the scar heals soon!
