I walked in to Jaiden's room to find a big mess. He had taken all the diapers out of the basket and all the wipes out of the package. The funniest part was seeing him asleep in the middle of all the rubble. It must have wiped him out to make such a mess :-) I was just glad that he took a nap, but not before making a pile of diapers to sleep on.

I love to do puzzles! During my mom's visit for Christmas, we started this cute puzzle. My mom and I are quite a team. She finds all the edges for me and I do the edge first and then she finds similar pieces and groups them together. We didn't get it finished before she left, so Matthew and I finished it. It was actually harder than we thought, but here it is finished!

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.
