Growing Boy & Ashtyn's Counting

Caden is a little over a month old. He is an awesome baby. He rarely cries, and if he does he stops as soon as you pick him up or fix whatever the problem is with him. He does grunt and snort a lot though. I call him my lil piglet, because of all the funny sounds he makes. He has already outgrown his newborn clothes, and is tipping the scales at a little over 10lbs. Here are some pictures of him.
This is his first bath in the tub. We learned very fast to cover his wee wee up when changing diapers and giving baths.

Ashtyn is doing great, and is talking in complete sentences. She has almost mastered counting. The other day we were reading a book together, and I asked her to count the bubbles on the page, this is what I got,"1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,teen,teen,teen,teen,teen,teen,teen,teen,teen,teen,teen, and she kept saying it over and over again. I told her that was cheating of course, and since that day she now has added the number 3. She loves to hold Caden, and she kisses him all the time. She has drank one of his bottles, and gets a hold of his paci and puts it in her mouth all of the time. Crazy girl.

Ashtyn's Birthday/ Caden Everett Magnuson

Ashtyn's birthday!!! My baby is now 2 years old. She got some cool Nike shoes, a dump truck, golf clubs, a dress, and some cool bath time art set. She played and tried on everything she got as soon as she opened it; it was very cute.
Caden arrived on Dec. 15th, 2009, at 10:36am. He weighed in at 7lbs, and 20 inches long. He is so sweet and handsome. Ashtyn is enjoying all of her big sister gifts, and is in love with her baby brother.

Halloween / Thanksgiving

Yes I am going to finally post the Halloween pics. I've been slacking, but I have some really good excuses like: work, getting ready for the baby, x-mas shopping, and taking care of Ashtyn, to name a few. Ashtyn was a Bee for Halloween, but she didn't want to wear the costume, she would say "No Bee, No Bee Mommy!!"


My parents moved to town, and so did her cousin Wesley who is 6 months older than Ashtyn and they have been having so much fun hanging out together. We got to enjoy two Thanksgivings this year. First we went to Curt's parents house for lunch Thanksgiving, and then we went to my parents house for dinner Thanksgiving.

Playing the piano with Daddy, she loves doing this with daddy at Grandma's house.
Ashtyn and her cousin Wesley going for a spin in Papa's chair. I loved her crossed feet in this picture.

Baby Caden comes on Dec. 21st, if not sooner, but hopefully not later. I am now considered full term, yippy!! We are so excited and looking forward to seeing what he looks like.
