a bit of a new look

listen. i know you guys aren't idiots and have probably noticed a few changes going on around here. yeah, so i thought i should try getting a little more creative and actually create my own background and a new header. so as cayden grows, those photos to the side will be added to (one this next week!). we'll stop at a year - no worries. let me know your thoughts on how you think it's looking. it's feeling warmer and more friendly to me already... and well, it lets you know who this blog is centered around pretty quickly, too.

oh, aunt jodi!

i had so much fun opening my christmas present from you, uncle jason and balin this morning. and while i LOVED the bag and tissue paper that held it, i love what was inside so much more. you guys are the bestest... love, cayden

rockin' and rollin'

so our big guy is up on all fours, ready to go. he doesn't go anywhere yet (except backwards), but i thought i'd share this little snippet of him getting ready to go somewhere. i think we'll all be surprised when this results in a forward motion. we'll never sit still again... (oh, and that red spot you might see on his forehead? carpet burn. he face plants often!)



oh yeah, we often rock the one sock look around our house. i don't know. one of them always seems to fall off. we're just cool like that.

say ahh...

yep, that's cayden's mouth. and our attempt to photograph his first tooth! it didn't turn out. obviously. but i thought i'd share what we got anyway. so yeah, our almost seven month old has his first tooth. we found it on saturday. he's handled it pretty well. a few random fits of screaming, but hey, i guess i'd scream too. either way, such a big boy now... guess he'll be eating "real" food before we know it. ::sigh::

last weekend

last weekend, well saturday, was a busy one. we went to see jenny graduate from UAB! how exciting, right? welcome to the real world, aunt jenny! (and feel better soon!) here's a few photos from the event.
