Duet

No one could steer us right, but mama tried, mama tried

All Eyes on DC

Hey lil buddy, you sure look nice. Whatcha all dressed up for?

Oh I see, you're all dressed up for the inauguration. That's plenty patriotic of you.

What's that? You're gettin bored with all that talk about a chicken in every pot?

Well just crawl yourself over here and climb up on my knee, we'll play mutton buster 'til you can't laugh anymore.

Odyssey

Mark your calendars...January 10, 2009 was the first time.

Pre-Spring Training

With pitchers and catchers reporting to Arizona just a month away, Caden thought it best to begin his workouts.

Wipeout

Tails Never Fails

Chargers march to a 23-17 OT victory.

Baby New Year

Happy New Year

Caden's first New Year's Eve party!!



I confess, the above pics were snapped at about 6pm. Here's the actual photo from midnight as we ring in the new year.



We were fast asleep.

Jail Time

We cleaned up the back room off the master and set up our first baby gate. A perfect little baby play room with no dog hair and minimal sharp corners. Caden promptly tried to eat his way out.

Nascar Sprint Baby Cup Series

Caden will be driving the Pampers Cruisers 43 car on the baby cup series this coming year. Don't be afraid to use the horn, son...it announces your presence.

Christmas Night

Some evening fun.




Can't wait to introduce the buckaroo to an old friend...

Bath Splash

With Granny and Grandad on their way over and the Krazy Kurths soon to follow, we all set out to spruce up for our Christmas dinner. Turkey in the oven and Mele Kalikimaka playing in the background it's time to hit the tub.

Merry Christmas

Baby Caden's first Christmas. All the colors and crinkly paper captured curious Caden's eye.


Mom helped pick out the presents and our boy was all smiles.


The apparently tired old man stepped in to help with the unwrapping.




So we didn't get a true white christmas like our friends up in the northwest, but it was a whiteish christmas. Spent most of the day being hit by clouds as you can see looking out the back window.

Xmas Eve Exercise

Who knew crawling up a single step or holding on to a chair would require such concentration and determination. Now that wee Caden is actually moving and balancing, he seems to be napping more. The rigors of baby Caden day...eat, crawl, stand, nap, repeat.
