Kaden's 1st Birthday Party

Our little man had his 1st birthday party on Sunday, September 21st. We had an all boy party, per his Daddy - dump trucks, bulldozers, etc. As you can tell from these pics, Kaden enjoyed his own little cake very much! At first he was a little hesitant to dig in, but once he realized he wasn't going to get in trouble, it was on!

We are so blessed with such wonderful family and friends who joined us to celebrate this special day. Kaden has brought such joy to our lives, as have Grace & Abby.

There aren't a lot of pictures b/c we were kind of rushing thru - it had rained off & on before, plus we were all recovering from being sick! But here are a few of the birthday boy on his big day. Enjoy!!

This is Kaden on his new Tonka truck - Mommy & Daddy did good picking this one out!

Kaden is One !!

Kaden Joshua Ashley turned one year old on September 9th! We took him for his one year check up on Sept 10th and his doctor said he is perfect. He also said we need to get him a football helmet soon! He weighed 27.96 lbs, was 31.5 inches long and his head circumference was 19 cm. Needless to say, he is above the 90% for his age in all areas! But he is a big, healthy boy like his Daddy and we are so thankful. He is walking everywhere, getting into everything and "talking" up a storm. Of course we are still working on the translation! He is a smart, happy little boy. He loves to play with a ball - throwing is down to an art now! He also likes to put things in their place - if he finds his socks or shoes, he tries to put them on his feet; if he finds a hat, he tries to put it on his head; if he finds his blocks, he tries to put them in the correct shaped hole on the toy. Every day is full of laughs with him ... Where does the time go?! Thank God for all three of our beautiful, healthy children - I know that we are so blessed. Below are a few pics over the last year - the last couple are of him on his 1st birthday - my beautiful baby boy is growing up! Enjoy!
