Kenyon Thomas turns 1........

I can't believe that my baby is a 1 year old! It seems like just yesterday that I was bringing Kaden home from the hospital.... not to mention Kenyon! We just had a little party at home with his cousins. Kenyon didn't really enjoy musical chairs, but he did love playing with the balloons. When cake time came he was serenaded twice .....because we forgot to video tape the first time :) He didn't really know what to think about the cake. I think he was confused at why we were giving him this opportunity. He fussed at it a little and then just started picking it off and putting in on the floor. After satisfying his boyish need to make a mess.... he finally ate some. Happy Birthday Kenyon!!

Finger nail clipping........

As I was clipping Kaden's finger nails he was arguing about how mine were way longer than his. Here's how the conversation went.
Kaden: Why don't you have to cut your nails... they're longer than mine.
Me: I'm a girl. Mine can be longer.
Kaden: How do you know when to cut them?
Me: I just know.
Kaden: How do you know?
Me: I just do!
Kaden: What... is it women's intuition?
Me: (speechless)
****This conversation was influenced by Scooby Doo:)

Kenyon Walking.................

Kenyon has been taking steps for the last couple of weeks. He should be running by his birthday!

Bad idea.............

In a last attempt at staying awake after bedtime.... Kaden made himself bleed.....accidentally??? Here's the story: It was bedtime (a little tough after snow days and the weekend), and Kaden had already gone through the usual...... I need a drink, just one more scooby doo, can I take my socks off, I'm still hot.... !!! He came down the stairs one last time for a drink, and 2 minutes after we sent him back to bed he came back down with a bloody mouth. He said: "I was covering up and my knee hit my loose tooth". I think: Well.... I don't really know what I think happened... but I am a little suspicious...... Anyway, the tooth needed to come out and Daddy was ready to pull it..... I'm sure this is when Kaden decided that whatever he did was a bad idea!

Long story short: The tooth came out..... Kaden survived..... Kaden went to bed (only because he knew that the Tooth Fairy was on it's way) Maybe we should knock out teeth every night :)

Mini Vacation..........

Daddy had a couple days off work..... so we went up to the Legends and stayed in a hotel. Kaden and Kenyon had the pool to themselves! :)

The day we came home Kaden and I had dentist appointments. Kaden went in with 23 teeth....... and came out with 23 teeth...... but one was in his hand :) The dentist just popped it out. This was New Years Eve Day...... good thing the Tooth Fairy works holidays!
