Kade's 5 months old!

I don't know how I got so lucky to have the happiest baby ever, but I am loving it!!  This month Kade has found his voice. He does a serious type of yelling ha...not sure how else to explain it.  He loves the jumper and is constantly putting himself to sleep in it.  He usually sways side to side instead of jumps.  He has his hands in his mouth constantly. He had his first Christmas! Finley is definitely his favorite...Finley can get him to laugh more than anyone.  He is still only BF. He has started sleeping in his own room and bed for the majority of the night this past week...usually from 10pm-3 or 4.  He no longer takes a pacifier he just chews on it if I try to give it to him.  He has had a clogged tear duct since birth and since Christmas has become a little worse so he might need a small surgery to clear that up. He is rolling every wear and loves to examine his hands.  I sure do love this boy of mine!!

The things they say...

 FINLEY:
-He prays for Grandpa Tom to come back to life already
-He prays he doesn't clog the toilet (happened 1 time and now is a constant fear of his)..this also made him curious about plumbing and where stuff goes when we flush so he has been learning about that.
-My favorite kind of food is Ham. And Ham Sandwich has the word Ham in it, so it has to have Ham.
-I like to eat hot things so I can breathe fire.

 VERA:
-I gotcha.
- Dat cool, mom? Dat funny mom?
- Wait a second...is that...(whatever)
- When she is letting the water out of the tub she says "mom, I will flush it"
- You get it, crazy mom!
- My name is (starts to sound it out) C C C Bera.
- She calls purses "persons" and always walks around with something similar to a purse and says "mom, dis my person."
-calls everyone "silly goosters"
-"im da mom, you da bera...you listen to me!"
- (Me: Vera, will you throw this away?) "oh yea, of course!"
-Mom, see I happy. I not sad. I not two happy mom (holding up 2 fingers), I one percent happy.
- She hums while she eats....hopefully this stops soon. But today she was eating cereal (multigrain cheerios with cut up bananas and fresh maple syrup drizzled) and at the end she yells "Daddy dis the best cereal ever!"
- After church Vera tells me, "mom, Jesus is the rock!"
I was eating lunch with Vera...and she says: "mom, my father says we have to go to the zoo, but dat takes a berry long time. And I dont fink I know how to get to da zoo because it is too far away. We need a suit case. That's what my father said."

Kade's 4 months old

Stats: 24 inches long. 14 pounds 2 ounces.

This boy is beyond happy.  He is such a joy to have in our home.  He absolutely loves Finley. Finley gets him laughing all the time.  He chews on his hands all day long.  He plays hard (the jumper is his new favorite) and falls asleep playing.  He rolls all over the floor and enjoys being on his belly.  He smiles the second he makes eye contact with anyone. Finley and Vera fight over who gets to hold him...and they both are constantly kissing him.  Finleys favorite thing to do is run in and talk to Kade in "baby talk" high pitch voice, as soon as Kade's awake. He still is strictly breast fed (besides the candy finley gave him! :/) He is sleeping in 4 hour stretches still, sometimes 5.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Luke and I celebrated 8 years together! We spent our anniversary taking care of a sick kid (finley has strep) and Lukes care wouldn't start...:) But we were able to go out a few nights ago with just kade to dinner and shopping.  I went to RS super saturday and made no sew felt bowties and hair bows for the kids! I am not crafty, but I am happy with the results and so is baby Kade :) We had our first Thanksgiving away from family this year.  I slaved away in the kitchen and made Roasted Turkey breast, stuffing, sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, black berry pie and homemade pumpkin pie!  It was a feast and it was GOOD...not to brag...Luke has been building a bunch of stuff while he had a few days off and the kids love to "help"....We then spent the weekend decorating for our first Christmas away from family (and last!).  The kids are so excited and so am I. This will be our first year that we have our very own Christmas! Every year Luke and I have spent the night at his parents (or lived there)!

Baby Blessing for Kade Calkins Wright

November 1, 2015 Kade received a beautiful blessing from Luke.  He started to fuss the second they walked up there and Luke forgot to take the pacifier up there...Bishop started to adjust Kades neck (He is a chiropractor) and Kade was quiet the rest of the blessing. It was a great day!

Halloween 2015

Halloween was a lot of fun this year! The weather actually allowed us to go trick or treating! The kids loved it! Some friends of our had us over for soups and rolls before we all went out together and their cute 7 year old Maci created a "spook alley" and it was actually scary! haha her friend posed as a zombie at the end where you were supposed to stick your hand in her belly and feel her guts (spaghetti) and then her eyes popped open! haha Vera loved it...Finley, not so much.  We also had fun at our ward party and I went as a pharmacist (I know, real creative) and Luke was Steve Nash (and people had no idea...the ym asked if he was from a movie and another guy asked if the suns were a real team still!!??)
