The boys!

Once again- I am behind! And these picutres are completely backwards.. oh well! Just have some random pictures of the boys!

Emmett (or sometimes "poop" as Kaden calls him, always in a baby voice, "hi poop!")is getting big! He will be 4 months on Sunday. He's almost 17 lbs.! He carries it well, I don't think he looks 17 lbs.! He continues to sleep through the night.. but not during the day. Most his naps are about 5-10 minutes long. With the occasional 30-40 minute long naps. It's a little tough trying to get things done during the day, but I guess it's worth it. He has found his voice and can be pretty vocal sometimes and is smiling and laughing. This is such a fun age!!

Me and the boys and my mom went down to Utah to stay with my sister and her family for a few days. This is Kaden on the way home. He fell asleep watching a movie and I couldn't get him to stay awake long enough to take off his headphones!

The only picture I took while in Utah! Emmett and Maddie.. Maddie was so cute with him, and very helpful!
Halloween!! Kaden was a Transformer and Emmett fit into a spider-man costume Kaden wore when he was 1.
I couldn't get a decent picture of all the Rasmussen cousins.. Kaden was making a face in all of them! Such cute cousins!

Kaden and his buddy Hanna!
Trick-or-Treating around G&G Walker's neighborhood.
The boys with my mom at the Trunk-or-Treat.
Emmett with his first sucker! (no he didn't actually taste it!)

Carving pumpkins with Braiden, Sharon, Ethan and Marlo.. although Marlo and Emmett didn't do much carving!

We've had a fun couple of weeks. I am getting so anxious to start and be done with Christmas shopping! Also looking forward to Thanksgiving! This time of year is so fun to be with families.

I have to write about some of Kaden's quirky things he does when he's going down for nap/bedtime..

1. We read books, sing a song, and I do criss cross applesauce/tickle his back and tell him a made up Mickey Mouse story

2. I lay by him for a few minutes

3. I get up and he asks where I'm going, and I say I will be right back

4. I go to the door and start to close it, when I hear, "Mom!" I peek back in and he waves and blows kisses, he does THREE more times when I'm trying to close the door. Then finally he turns over and goes to sleep..

This is EVERYTIME he goes down! He's like major OCD about it. It's always in this order, and if I try to do something out of order.. he knows it and says wait! you forgot! Is this normal?? Somedays it drives me crazy! But, we have to do it or he gets upset!! Anyway- this is Kaden's little quirk!

The babe is now awake from his 5 minute nap! Better run..
