Christmas 2008

Jaiden gets his first baby doll.

Jaiden is devouring chocolate from his stocking.

I just wanted to take some time and spotlight my cute husband. He has been wonderful throughout my whole pregnancy. He has taken on more household chores and helped more with Bubby. He is a sweet man and I feel so lucky to be married to him. He has made some great sacrifices during my pregnancy and I thank him for those. He is a great listener and willing to do my "honey do" lists. He supports me in my roll as mother and respects me. In addition to being a great husband, he is also a great father. He is the one who puts Bubby to bed and it is so sweet hearing him sing "I love to see the Temple" and "I am a Child of God." Jaiden loves when Daddy tickles him and rolls on the ground with him.

Crib to toddler bed!

Our little Jaidey wadey is growing up, he has gone from crib to toddler bed. The change has not been smooth. He has enjoyed his freedom from the crib quite a bit. He loves to get out of bed after we shut the door and open and close the dresser drawers. I think he likes his "big boy bed," but why stay in it and nap when you can play! He has Bob the Builder sheets and a Thomas the Train pillow case for his bed. He also loves to sleep with his white bear. This bear was given to Matthew from me when we were dating and were in seperate states. Matthew slept with it often, so this is a special bear!

Jaiden Didn't Like Family Pictures

Last night we went to get family pictures taken. Jaiden was not cooperative at all! He didn't seem to grasp that we wanted him to stay in one place and smile. I guess I should've anticipated this, but I was kind of caught off guard and was not expecting it.

Jaiden Eating Oatmeal!

Jaiden can eat with a spoon but he still puts the spoon into his mouth upside down. That's why we need something sticky for him to eat, like oatmeal!

Jaiden saying "Beep Beep"

Jaiden likes to push the little toy bus around and say "beep beep".
