Our Christmas Gift

This past week has been an eventful one.  I started back to work.  It was hard, but I am glad that I can do it and have such wonderful people watch my child.  I am only working 2 days a week (Monday and Wednesday).  Mondays my sister watches Kayden and on Wednesday Grandma Workman gets him.  They enjoy spending this time with them. 

 

Kayden is such a wonderful little child.  I look back over the past year and now I couldn't imagine life without him.  He is my Christmas Gift.  I don't want anything more than to be here with him and hold him in my arms.  The days that I am not working I enjoy more and more. He is getting to be so fun.  I can sit and talk to him and he thinks it is so funny.  Today I was changing his diaper and he kept looking at me with a huge grin that wouldn't go away except when he couldn't see me anymore. 

I am also ver grateful to have a wonderful, loving, and supportive husband.  He loves our child so much and you can tell by the look in his eyes in the following picture.  Kayden is really starting to respond to Ryan and Ryan's voice.  He loves his daddy.  He is going to be a little daddy's boy, which is bittersweet for me.Last week Kayden, Landon and Brooke had there pictures done at JCPenney.  They were surprisingly all wide awake.  They were so much fun to watch as the photographer tried to get them to keep there heads up.  To view those pictures you can go to www.smilesbywire.com and put in Camilla Workman as the customer and this access code: LTPP0356100558JCPSHR.  You will enjoy them, I can assure you that!

Kayden really looks like he is kissing Landon, but he is really screaming his head off because he had to stop eating so these pictures could be taken.
And last, but not least, my favorite for the day. Kayden is getting so big. He is now wearing 0-3 month clothes HALF the time so I bought him some really cute jeans at Target last night and he wore them today, and I must say he looked really cute. THEN I added the shoes and I couldn't help, but just stare at him. He is so cute. I love being his mother!

It's Play Time

Last night at Grandma Carlings we gave Landon and Kayden there first play time together. They really seemed to enjoy it.  We thought of the idea after Brooke had left. :(  We will get them all together another day.  It was really cute to let Kayden and Landon play together, because we have always said what good friends they were going to be.  I am really anxious to see just how good of friends they become.
Ryan had this last week off of work so we were trying to decide what we should do.  At first we thought that we would go to Utah, but neither of us had a good feeling about it.  If a DING fare had come up for Seattle we would have gone there, but no such luck (thank goodness, they had a ton of flooding).  So we decided to go up to Flagstaff and spend the night on Wednesday.  It was really nice to get away.  I was awake all night, but only because I never realized how many noises Kayden makes in his sleep.  It was fun though.  Kayden is becoming more responsive to people when they talk to him.  He is starting to talk and smile at everyone.  He talked on the phone to Doris today and he loved it.  He got the biggest grin on his face.  She said she was talking about Heber and Henry jumping in the crib.  Kayden sleeps most of the night.  He goes about 4-5 hours between feedings and sleeps until 11 a.m. most days.  He is a good little man!

Last Sunday, we dressed Kayden in his first real Sunday outfit.  He looked so handsome.  It is still really big on him, but he didn't care.  I thought he looked like a little man.  Yesterday, I had him in this really cute outfit that my friend Krista gave him and I thought he looked so cute.  We were at Stake Conference and Elder Deiter F. Uchtdorf was the visiting authority (so we were there a couple of hours early) and he had a diaper blow out.  I was so sad!  I hate those diaper blow outs.  I hear they grow out of them!  I sure hope so!

The picture below is the outfit that my Krista friend gave me.  He still isn't fitting in his 0-3 month clothes, but I love them so I put them on him!!!! =)

He is starting to love his bathtime.  On this particular day he had a doctors appointment and so I was getting him all ready.  He is now weighing 8 lbs. 14 oz.  He has gained 2 lbs. since he was born.  He is almost 22 inches long and continuing to grow.  Being a mom is great!  I love it.And last, but not least.  Here is my one shout out for the day.  Look how cute my little nephew Henry is.  This is my sisters baby.  Isnt' he a doll?  I love his eyes and smile.  They could light up the whole world.
Anyway, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
