The reason I was put on this earth, was to be a mother. I now know this after having our first amazing child!

9 month check up

Caden had his 9 month check up today and he got a 100% from the Doc! He is in the 50th % for height and weight which he now weighs 19lb. 14oz. and was 28in. long. I wasn't their for the height/weight portion of the visit :( and Kyle said he was not a happy camper, so his readings are a little off. When I weigh him at home, I get 21lb. SO anywhoo, not a big deal, he is healthy and happy AND he didn't have to get any shots. All was good in the Larson house today! Sidenote...the last two nights Caden has been waking up a lot and doc asked if he had 6 teeth by now...ummm no only two at this point so he took a peek and said he should be getting the top 4 soon, probably why he isn't sleeping. Poor lil man, glad we don't remember getting teeth! Doc also commented on how happy of a baby he was and how "active" he was. He actualy said "is he always like this?" I laughed and said yep! One happy baby, well for the most part...just don't take a toy away from him, then you will see a completely different baby! Ooohh I love my lil man and so happy that we were blessed with a healthy baby!!

Picnic day!

Cade loves to empty out his toy basket...our living room is constantly scattered with toys.

Bath time

Mmmm...he still is working on getting used to foods with "chunks" if there is something that remotely resembles chunks...he gags. Not sure if he will ever go off baby food :)


It was such a beautiful weekend so we headed to the park for a picnic.


Family time...lovin every minute!


Me and my lil man


Caden had so much fun just sitting in the grass and ripping up leaves.














Zoe and Caden fighting over a leaf. They both love to shread them, and apparently this leaf was worth fighting over. Caden thought it was hilarious! I think Zoe won!





Getting ready for a game of frisbee


Trisha came over for a BBQ...gotta love grilling on a beautiful evening!

Just chillin


Playing in his room.






Another shot of his "new move"!

Off to the cities

We took Caden to his first Twins game and Kyle was especially excited not only for that reason, but because we got to see the new stadium.
We headed to the cities the night prior and stayed with my good friend Angela. It was so great to see her (Tony was out of town, sorry we missed ya!!) Thanks again for your hospitality Ang!!


Silly Caden

9 months old today!! 4-13-10
Exploring Tony & Angela's


This is his new move that he does...not sure what he trying to accomplish, but cute none the less! He started going even higher with his butt and then will fall backwards onto his bottom. He just can't quite figure out the forward gear yet.


Daddy and Caden in front of the new Twins stadium...Kyle was just in heaven this day!!




Time out for tickles...





It started to rain a little bit so he headed for some shelter...Caden figured he might as well get a nap in!



Go Twins!!



Kyle and Caden with Puckett


After the game we headed to the Como Zoo before going home.


In front of the gorilla















We always have to do a stop at Ikea!!! We got Caden one of those stuffed soccer balls...have to start the sports influence young!!

On the way home...it was a long, fun filled day. Cade's just kickin it back and doing some relaxing while watching his Baby Einstein! Great day spent my boys!
