Food, glorious food!

This doesn't really have to do with food at all, but they tell me, my uncle george tends to get in situations that result in goofy pictures of himself. This past weekend my uncle geo came over to help blow insulation in our attic - he had a really cheesey coverall suit on that was full of holes - it didnt' really protect much or keep him very clean. It was fun playing with him.

mmm.. I love food. I kinda got a late start on food, b/c my parents wanted to wait until after the move...so my menu list is all the way up to 3 things: rice, oatmeal and sweet potatoes and I love 'em all!

Look out world...

Look out world I'm a growing man with things to take apart! I can sit all by myself and I love to throw toys, eat them and take them apart. I'm usually quite proud of my work! As soon as I get my arms and legs working together I'll really be on the move.

(sorry for the delay in pics; my parents have been slackers. First they didn't take any pictures of me and then my mom let the battery die on the camera and then she lost the charger. Thank goodness she pulled it together and found it!)

Merry Christmas to all!

LIGHTS!

So my parents just put up the Christmas Tree, but apparently, they don't understand that its the TREE they should be putting the lights on and not ME! Oh well, I really liked it actually. The lights were REALLY bright and they were even a little warm. They looked really cool! I don't know why my mom freaked out when I tried to eat one of them. She needs to learn to settle down! I am a big boy now, I know what is good for me and not.
Our house is starting to look really nice. My and grandma went and bought some stuff for the windows. Right now everyone that drives by can see right in. Good thing Dad is having a friend come over tonight to put up the blinds.
Mom tells me that we are going to get the rest of the Christmas stuff up really soon. She tells me I am really going to like snowmen. Little does she know I don't even know what snow is! Oh well. It sounds really fun anyway. I gotta go, I am seeing spots from all those lights in my face!

Lots has happened

Lots has happened since I last posted. We have finally moved into our new house! I wasn't so sure about it at first, but now I am really starting to like it! It sounds different and its lots bigger than out little apartment! It has hard wood floors so my mom laid down some soft blankets for me to lay on. That sit on a nice cushy couch and I have to lay on the wood floor! I didn't think it was fair. Sometimes they let me take my nap in the Love Sac, WOW THATS NICE!

Guess what else? Look at what my dad and I saw on Monday morning!
This woodpecker had breakfast in our tree! It was crazy! I loved to watch his red head go back and forth. That must hurt! I thought it was really fun to watch. Dad didn't think it was as much fun. He said that it isn't good for the tree. I say, who cares, the tree was dead anyway! Looks like we will have to get uncle Dave and cousin Ryan over here with their stump grinder!

Thats all I got for now, I have to go explore my new house!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Just a quick post to say Happy Birthday to MOM! Dad bought her a house today! I wonder what he will buy me for my birthday? Come and stop by my (don't tell my it's my house!) We'll be there painting and moving for the rest of the week! YEAH!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!
Love Caden

All smiles

Today when I woke up this morning I was my usual smiley self! I squeaked to let my mom know I was awake and then I smiled when she came in :) That made her very happy. And I can talk again too, so I've been chatting just to hear myself again. Hope everybody else is feeling good. Sorry Grandpa I gave you my cold :(

On the mend

Hooray I'm feeling better, yesterday I finally had a normal temp. and today I felt like smiling and playing. Over the weekend I had a few bum days with teething and just not feeling good and then I got a cold. I still can't sing very well, my voice is well; whisper quiet, but sometimes I can still hit a note or two! just wanted to let you know I'm back and feeling better.

Daddy took me to my first Gopher game today! It was also Tubby Smith's first gopher game! Turns out Tubby and I are good luck! The gohers beat up on Army real good! At least that is what they tell me. Basically I slept most of the game. I did like the band when they played though! You should see all the shiny intruments that they have! I can tell already that I am going to be a BIG GOPHER basketball fan. Thanks Grandpa for the tickets! Oh yeah, my dad wanted me to make sure I tell grandpa not to get rid of the tickets! And Grandma, you can come with me every time! I like napping with you! (grandma fell alsleep too I think!)
Next time I hope that I get to see Goldy. This time I was alittle scared, next time I will go and talk with him!

I have now been to a twins game and a gopher basketball game. Now if uncle chuck and cousin chad could just get me to a viking and timberwolve game I will be set! Who knows I might even get to a wild game. Only one rule, my dad has to come with. We are a cheering team and we need eachother. You can email my dad if you want to take us to games! so far I am 2-0 for minnesota sports game!


Tomorrow I get to watch the Packers/VIkings game with all my grandparents! I am way excited! Maybe I will nap with Grandpa this game! Yeah right, both grandmas will be fighting over who gets to hold me! They are crazy, you know that! I love them anyway!

Gotta go, see you soon! GO GOPHERS!

mmmm..veggies

Today my scaredy pants - super safety mom finally gave in and let me use my Johnny Jumper and I loved it! I loved bouncing up and down. I"m a pretty big fan and well, my mom still worries. what's new.

My mom was trying to cook supper and I was less than happy to just watch and play with my same old toys. So my mom washed up some veggies so I could play with them and suck on a carrot for a while. They were cold and wet and lots of fun.

little jailbird

My mom needed to do some cleaning so she put me down to play with my fish and watch myself in the mirror. When she came out from cleaning the bathroom, she found me like this. We both laughed. There was a toy I needed, but I kinda got stuck in the mix of things.

Balding Trump.

The day after a big party is a rough one!

Apparently the wind picked up and messed up my hair!

Happy Halloween

Waking up to a serious case of bed head!

YOU'RE FIRED!! Just kidding. Ghoulish greetings from The Donald, The Trump, a.k.a. me Caden! I was supposed to be a pumpkin for halloween but I grew too fast and it didn't fit me, so my dad decided to do a little online shopping and got me "The Donald" baby touppe. Way to go dad! Happy Halloween everyone. Tonight is our harvest party - so we will have more pictures later when I really do my hair.

One last picnic!

Yesterday was so nice that we couldn't stay inside. My tummy hurt in the afternoon so I didn't get to go for a walk w/ my mom, but for supper my mom and dad packed me up and we had a picinic in the park. We didn't get to stay very long because it gets dark so fast, but it was still fun. Here I am ready to go, just chillin' in my backpack waiting to go :)

Drool is cool!

I love making spit bubbles and working on my car/vrooming noises.

Me showing off my drool and fancy shirt from my Uncle John. Not quite sure what my shirt says though (not like I'd even know it's in another language) Thanks Uncle john - it fits me great!

Hope is almost 3 - she comes over for "school" sometimes. Today we made playdough and she read to me her book of baby animals. I love it when she plays with me.

All in a days work...

all that playing really tuckers a kid out...I just couldn't go anymore so I had to catch a snooze this afternoon.

my dad is crazy

So you can probably guess who was in charge when this picture was taken. My dad has some crazy ideas! (you can rest assured the bottle was empty! - mom made sure of it)

Baby shower

This past weekend I got to go back to Wadena to see my G & G Folkestad and my Auntie Lisa and Kenna and Carly. My aunt Lisa and Grandma Deb had a baby shower for me. We had lots of fun and I got to spend lots of time wth my Cousins.


I snuggled up with Vikki B. at the shower lots

The grown-ups played fun games at the shower. I just liked being held by everyone. Thank you Aunt Lisa and Grandma Deb for the shower and everyone who came - it was nice to see you and I love all my gifts! I've even played with a few of my new toys already!
