So, I am not quite sure how it happened because just yesterday Joel and I were preparing from going to our happy little family of two, to a family of three. Now we are a family of four, trying to make it a family of five and my "baby" is gone. He is three going on fifteen and so brave and smart and independant, I just can't believe it.
Kaden was born on October 12th, two days before his due date at 6:58 pm. He weighed in at 7lbs. 6 oz and 20 inches long. He was the most perfect baby I had ever seen and he was mine!!! The delivery was harmless and he was such a good baby. He was so predictable, and such a good sleeper and eater I thought I could have a hundred more just like him!
Kaden, you were ahead of the game from the beginnning. You rolled over at 3 months old, crawled at 7 months and started walking and then soon running at 10 months old and you have never slowed down since. You amaze me everyday with how smart you are and how inventive you can be. You see something once and you want to try it. Sometimes it gives me a heart attack, but most of the time it just makes me proud. You are your Daddy's pride and joy and you want to be big and strong just like he is, and when you get older you want to drink coffee like mom (but for right now you call your milk "coffee" just to pretend)!
You are incredibly stubborn, and HAVE to do things on your own terms, I have no idea where you got that from ;) And when you aren't tackling your brother or jumping off the couch, you are incredibly caring and loving and thoughtful. I love it when you share with me without even being asked. I love that you save some of your special treats to share with Gavin. I love that you love to dance when you think nobody is paying attention. I love that you like to paint and read and learn new things. I love your infectious smile and your belly laughs when I tickle you. I love that you are all boy but you love your mama :)
You changed mommy and daddy's life and started our family. I can't wait to see what the years will bring and the man you will grow into.
I love you buddy, buster, crazy, kiddo, machine, honey bunches, bud, Kade, Kaden!!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!

Isn't it sad they have to grow up? I keep thinking my 2 year old is still a newborn! I wish time could stand still awhile.....
