Finley is such a good brother.  Vera would be lost with out him.  She wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He takes good care of her and Kade.  He talks  in his sweetest voice to Kade all the time and to Vera sometimes* :)  He is pretty independent....bathes himself, brushes his teeth, dresses, makes his own lunch and pours his own cereal and drinks with minimal spills.  He is quite the story teller.  He can come up with a story on the spot...one after another...usually about aliens, or fighting or something "spooky".  He can count to 100, spell his name and do some simple adding and subtracting.  He is really good at finding patterns.  He struggles with phonics a bit...still calls Vera, Bera...I think he is pretty smart though :)  Luke and I love this kid and couldn't imagine our lives with out his fun little spirit!

Kade @ 2 months

STATS @ 2 months + 2 weeks :  11 pounds 14oz & 22inches

This boy is HAPPY. He sure loves the attention he gets and he LOVES to talk now.  I could listen to his cooing all day. He loves to be held outward to see what's going on (and the added pressure on the belly helps him too)  He is sleeping 4 hours at a time.  He has really strong leg and neck muscles.  I am pretty sure he is my happiest baby, but I guess all of my babies have been happy so it is hard to say. I am absolutely in love with him and he is my current favorite. :)

Survived my first month as a mom of 3!

Baby Kade definitely came to the Wright family!

Kids LOVED having dad home for a month...Luke loved this slide, until he hit the bottom and almost broke his ankles.

Princess Vera isn't afraid of dirt...

I finally finished Vera's "1st Year" book...now that she is 2 1/2.

Kade's First bath at home! (Was NOT happy about it)

Fin's 1st day of PreK 2015

Kade's 1st day at Church

Fin got stuck in the tree

You're Welcome.

Vera "feeding" her baby.

My big helpers

Sister can't keep her hands off baby Kade. 

I survived...and so did my THREE kids.  Luke is back to his internships! Right now he is at a place called Pharmacare, which is a compound pharmacy.  He seems to like the compounding part, but his favorite internship has been the VA.   The count down is on, 232 days (little less than 8 months) until graduation!!! Luke wants me to pick him up from graduation in the Uhaul and keep on driving until we reach 85201 :)  Yes, we really can't wait to be living back in AZ!! Kade has been sleeping good (3-4 hr stretches), he recognizes me and gives me all kinds of smiles and that's my pick-me-up.  Vera can't decide if she is a beautiful princess or Spider-man...one minute she says "mom, I beautiful Elsa" and the next she is in a sumo stance glaring at me saying "mom, I spider-man and kill bad guys"...I usually scream as if I am scared and she says "mom, not scurry. I just Bera."  She also loves to tell me I am beautiful, which makes her my favorite child ;)  She knows how to work the system.  Finley is in all kinds of trouble these days...definitely testing his limits. He sure does love his brother though, and is the first to respond to his cries. He has a countdown until his birthday (11 days) and one for our trip to AZ!! (13!)
