I love my Daddy!

Well I'm so far off in my blogging, not only do I NOT have Christmas pics ready...but still finishing our Halloween outing. I couldn't leave out these pictures that showed the bonding between the babies and the daddies. There is not one momma out there, whose heart wouldn't melt while watching these guys and their new adventures.


If you asked these two daddies, ADVENTURES would be an understatment~ha!
Christmas time, this year, really got me all sentimental about my own dad. This was Grandpa Mel's FAVORITE time of the year. I so.. so... wish Kade could've been spoiled rotten by him. That was the one thing Grandpa would've been excited for, to watch the excitement in Kade's eyes as he ripped open the presents. His one rule about presents was no matter how big the gift...it WOULD be WRAPPED! I'm the lazy type who likes to find the bag to throw it in with all the tissue paper on top (wouldn't fly w/Melvin).
Melvin would be very proud of what a good dad, that Chad has been to his Grandson. Chad and Mel were very close and he always claimed to have had 3 kids, Cherie, Shawn and Chad. I took time out this holiday season to remember him. We had almost 19 inches of snow (he loved a good snowstorm). I'd glance out the window and watch the flakes come down just for him. We also had chocolate covered cherries, nobody is a huge fan, but we eat them for Mel. Finally, I bought Kade way more toys than he should have gotten, but spoiled him a little more, just for Grandpa!
There is nothing cuter in the whole world!! We love you daddies!!

Quick update

Wow, my timing between posts is really getting LONG. You can thank my almost 2 year old for that. I have just a few minutes to update, and not enough time for new pictures.
Kade has been getting his 2 year molars and is really wanting one on one time with mommy/daddy. I think I have blood coming out of my ears from the constant whining. I know he is probably in a lot of pain, but my ears are hurting too! Plus he has had troubles in the diaper department and that has caused him to have diaper rash on top of everything. He's in pain on both ends...literally. Uggh!
So he is very clingy, whiny, tempermental, testing mommy's limits. Then the poor kid fell in the store yesterday, landed on the shopping cart wheel, on his cheek (right beside his eye). It was instantly black/blue. This kid can not catch a break for nothing. So again more crying (rightfully so this time). I of course acted like his eye had been punctured out and freaked the big one. I put my hands over my eyes and danced around in circles yelling, is he bleeding...is he bleeding. Then yelled to the Lord above...Oh my God and hyperventiliated a bit. Chad is standing there with a screaming kid and out of control mommy. We made it through the ordeal, but I don't do well when my 'lil Kade is in danger~ha.
Kade is really developing well in all areas. He likes to sing all types of songs, does little projects, and has a very good memory. He has a sweet tooth like mommy and would eat cookies all day, given the chance.
We made it through a hair cut this weekend, without a huge tantrum. Thanks to MY great idea of giving him M&Ms during the cut. He just sat back and watched Elmo on the TV and ate M&Ms and he actually got a really darn cute hair cut for once. Typically he's screaming and crawling out of the chair and the end result is...let's just say...shorter. Now he's got one hot do!
Well its getting late, just wanted to send out an update, before I forget what he's been up to. Uggh, maybe I don't want to remember this stage...I'm exhausted. Good timing for his cute haircut...now he's way to cute to get mad at. Happy Holidays! I have a bunch of pics to post and more on the way. Kade is super excited and loves to see the Christmas lights!
