Brother and Sister

Every since I found out I was pregnant with Taylor I couldn't wait to see the relationship that would develop with her and Kade.  I now see how these two interact and it is so great to sit back and watch them.  They are typical brother and sister, but there are moments when you can see all the love in the world between my babies.  I encourage them often to be nice to each other and tell Kade that he always needs to protect his sister no matter what, and when Taylor can understand more I will tell her the same thing.  I see so many families break up for so many reasons and I pray that my kids will always have each other's back.  I figure that if I instill this lesson in them at such a young age, then they will know no other way to be with each other. 

Of course they fight and I see devious little things they each do to one another, but at the end of the day if they can still want to kiss each other good night then I know I'm doing something right.  Once again, I love my babies more than words could ever describe. 

Kade Anthony

My sweet boy is getting so big.  I wanted to recap on him before he turns 4.  Whattt? 4 no this can't be.  I don't like it one bit.  I notice more and more he doesn't want to cuddle or just be held, he's so big now and would rather be doing things then sitting with me letting me hold him.  It's  been one of the biggest pleasures seeing him grow, but I long for him to be a baby again.  I want to freeze time and have my life be just as it is now.  I can't do that though, so I try and remind myself to cherish every little moment.  I truly do.  I take a mental picture each time he needs me or he kisses me for no reason or he asks me to lay with him.  He was my first born and made me a mom and I love him more than anything.  I see so many things for my Kadders.  I hope all my wishful thinking and praying for all the blessings I hope he has in his life come true, but above all I just want Kade to always know he is loved unconditionally and that his dad and I are always there for him no matter what. 

Kade weighs 39 lbs. and is tall, not sure how tall, but he is tall

He's a good eater and tries anything just like his dad (I love this about my 3 year old)

I can't believe the time has flown by so fast, I know there is so much in store for him and I can't wait to see him blossom into a young man.  He is truly spectacular.  I love you papa!
