Who loves the Ergo more?!

... you decide.

Tough spot to be in!

It's not easy being 8.5 months old. Now that he's crawling he's making his way into uncharted waters and by the looks of it... loving this new found talent!

Ready... Set... CRAWL!!!

He's doing it! Cayden started FULL ON Crawling today. ARM- LEG- ARM- LEG! No belly cruising! He's CRAWLING... see for yourself.

Cayden Says....

"Happy New Year!!!!"

She fits in well!

Today Cayden and I got to hang out with Kailey- his new Auntie and my new sister. She is in town visiting her mom for a few more days and we were happy when she agreed to spend the day with us. We went shopping and searched all over and were finally able to find the perfect sweatshirt! She clearly hasn't been here an entire Midwest winter...

The final Christmas Gathering...

We finished our Christmas season at Grandma Lloydean's with the Olson side of the family. Lynn flew in from New York (?), Sarah made it- finally, and Becs didn't have to work either. We played Screw your neighbor- a very family friendly game; and Uncle Larry won the pot! He and Cayden get along great! The best part was that Papa showed up in his new Christmas sweater... and so did Mike!

it doesn't end there...

We came home from the Manion morning and opened our Christmas presents from Santa! Cayden got a Rocking Horse, the Polar Coaster, a telephone, alligator, and boring clothes. Shortly after the newlyweds, Kris and Leslie Weiby showed up to visit for a little while.
