Quick Note

Just a quick note....... since I'm such a busy boy. All is great here. I'm starting to get this English thing down. Here I am making some animal sounds (and, yes, I say "boooo" for the cow but it's close enough for now!). I've also added some pictures of my not-so-little little brother. The Dr. told him he was the size of a 4 month old at his 2 month check-up! He's following in my footsteps of being a good eater!

Sounds Around Our House

Our house isn't a quiet house! Kaden and I both speak our own languages throughout the day, although Kaden is starting to say some words that mommy and daddy understand. I "talk" quite a bit softer than Kaden, but my "words" are just as important! Here is a video of me talking to mommy. Kaden's video shows his LOVE for tomatoes!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

The weather finally cooperated (and we were in town) for us to get out to the pumpkin patch this past weekend. Ellis was a little young to enjoy it, but I sure had fun. I saw lots of pumpkins, a big apple orchard, goats, tractors and lots of people. Here is a pretty decent picture of my family that some nice lady took for us. I am about 2 and 1/2 feet tall!!!

Here I am checking out the scenery on a hay ride. Ellis didn't see much because he was fast asleep.
I had fun walking through the corn maze. Mommy and Daddy had to watch me close because I blended in!

Caught on Camera

I started smiling a couple weeks ago, but I am VERY stingy with them. Mommy finally had the camera handy at the right times to catch me smiling.

Kaden wanted me to show you he's still smiling too! (And he loves all the toys that used to be his, like this Bumbo chair!)

When I'm in my smiling moods, I am also quite the talker. Here is a quick video of my sweet voice after I got out of the bath at grandma and grandpa's house.

I'll Show You!

My brother Ellis likes to lay under this toy that plays music for him. Here I am trying to teach him how to dance to the music. I'm such a helpful big brother!!!

Update

We have been thinking really hard about what to do about this blog now that I (Ellis) have joined the family. We have decided that we will keep it as is and Kaden and I will take turns writing. Mommy wanted to keep everything in one place and not make things more complicated for herself or others. Time is very limited around here these days! Here are a few pictures of what's been going on around here since I graced everyone with my presence! Do you think we look anything alike? It's hard to tell because Kaden had so much hair!

Kaden is waaaaaay too busy to sit still for pictures with me!

Can you find Kaden in the picture above?

I'm a Big Brother!

The day has come......I am a big brother to Ellis Paul! He was born last Tuesday, September 1st. Daddy woke me up in the middle of the night to go to the hospital. Auntie Ann and Uncle Tom came to get me there while Mommy and Daddy rushed inside. I had a fun time playing with cousins Paul and Ellie until Grandma Mary Ann got to town. Grandma and I spent a lot of time together this past week. She even taught me a new word..."gaa" which means gone and I put my hand in the air.

Ellis is a good little brother. I've been told to be "nice" and "gentle" A LOT since he's been here. I like to look at him and smile. I can even give him kisses! It's been hard for Mommy to get pictures of us together. I'm not so good at sitting still these days and I just want to grab Ellis! Here are a few pictures of us.
