Father's Day & Kaden 3 months!

Happy 1st Father's Day to Paul and Happy 3 month birthday to Kaden!!

We had so much fun for father's day, we went down to Grandma Welch's house for a delicious steak dinner and opened presents there with everyone. Paul got an awesome compact hammock from his beautiful wife :) which he loves and can't wait to take up the mountain.

Kaden slept through a lot of the festivities but we know he really enjoyed himself.

He also got a cool puppet from his mom. He is so good at it, he is just like a muppet, Kaden loves to watch him and they will have lots of fun times with Charlie for years to come.

Our sweet little 3 month old man! He is growing so fast and learning so much everyday. It is bittersweet to see him grow and learn so many things. I loved having him be a tiny little newborn that I could just hold and snuggle all day long and just slept in my arms. But it is also so fun to see him develop and be able to play with him more and interact. He is laughing and talking lots. He LOVES to smile, especially in the morning, that is his happiest time (he doesn't get it from his dad.) He is such a happy baby, unless he is hungry he hardly ever cries. And if he's tired he fusses for a second til I give him his blankie up by his face and his pacifier and then he is content again. He goes to bed so easily, he'll just look around in his bed with his blanket and pacifier until he drifts off and then he'll sleep 6-8 hours. As I write these things down I am reminded again how blessed we are to have Kaden in our family, what a great baby he is and how much joy he brings to us. I adore him and could just love and kiss on him all day long (which I do.)

Paul is already such an amazing dad. He has all the qualities I wanted for my children's dad. He loves to play with Kaden, as soon as he gets home from work he runs right over and grabs him and they are together for the rest of the evening. He is so very patient with him, even when he is not so happy and is so tender and loving when he talks to him and holds him. He hates to see him cry and will do anything he possibly can to get him to stop and be happy again. These two are going to be so close and have so much fun together. Paul already talks about fishing, 4wheeling, and being outside together. What a blessed boy to have such an amazing dad. I love these two boys so much, more than I ever even thought possible. You know you will love your kids of course but it is amazing to me how much more my love for Kaden grows each and every day. Paul and I have also grown so much closer since having him, what a blessing children are. I thank my Father in Heaven that I have the privledge of being the wife and mother to these two boys and look forward to the rest of our lives and eternity together.
