Christmas!

So the first thing we did this Christmas was go and buy Kadence and Noah matching jammies:)




So first thing Christmas morning we opened up stocking at the inlaws. Kadence didnt stay there for to long but she was cute:) (P.S. I made her stocking:))


Next we went over to my dads house for presents. She loved ripping the paper and playing with all her new toys.

Lastly we opened presents at the inlaws. She got so many fun things. She had a blast and it was alot of fun to watch her light up with every new gift:)


We are so grateful for how well we were taken care of this holiday season. Being with and watching Kadence made Christmas a whole lot better. We are so blessed to have her in our lives and we look forward to the years to come:)

Kadence turned 1!


So we decided to do cupcakes for Kadences birthday and she loved it. She ate the whole thing and wanted more! It was hilarious to watch her eat it:)








Kadence turned 1! I seriously cant believe it has been a year already. She has grown so fast. So we had a party for her and she made out like a bandit! She got so many things and she loves to play with everything!





I have never planned a party before and I have to say it was quite a success. My princess is so sweet and we lover her so much. This last year has truly been the best.

Kadence...

So here are some cute things that she has been up too...
  • She gets up and plays and I stay in bed. When she is hungry, she throws her bottle at my head.
  • She shakes her head and says no when she doesnt want something.
  • She is becoming a daddys girl.
  • She literally runs
  • Goes into a room and comes out with money
  • We have no ornaments on our tree anymore
  • She loves to hide things! I find things in drawers, shoes, boxes, everywhere!
  • She thinks its fun to hang all over me when I workout. It makes things really difficult. When I do situps she cracks up every time I go up and back down.
  • Her hair is way curly! It gets crazy!
She is so much fun and gets smarter everyday. She is way to smart for her own good.

Christmas Season!

So I love christmas! The spirit is so sweet and people are so giving. Not to mention that I love shopping for other people. Seth has gone to reno with me twice just to shop and hang out and we had a great time. Today we went to Claim Jumper(Yum Yum), got me some new jeans, shirts, and makeup. We also went to walmart and got some clothes for Seth and Kadence, and some stuff for Kadences first birthday. I am so excited for it. I know that she wont remember her party but I am so excited to make it a special day for her. I guess its more for me and pictures than her. Ill post some pics after the party.
Next sunday Seth and I are leaving for Disneyland! I cant wait. I havent been for a long time. We are going to spend two days at disneyland and 1 day at Notsberry farm. One night we are going to Medieval Times for dinner and I remember having a blast so I am excited for that. I love spending time with my little family and am so thankful for the lord who provides for us so we can go on vacations!
I get to visit with all my siblings(mine and seths),eat yummy food and play games....I love the Holidays! I am so excited for the next two weeks!

Weaning

So its been two weeks since I started weaning Kadence and I have to say that it is a success. At first it was hard for her but she is a trooper. Before Kadence would eat whenever she wanted and I was perfectly ok with that. Once I started to wean I cut her down to three feedings a day. One in the morning, one before her nap, and one at night. In the beginning she would try to rip off my shirt to get some but then I found a formula that saved my life! Enfagrow, toddler vanilla flovored formula and she loves it! She cant get enough. She used to get excited to nurse now she gets really excited when I start to make her a bottle. I feel lucky that she has weaned to well. Last week i cut her down to 1 feeding a day, sometimes two when I cave. Its been two weeks and Kadence sometimes doesnt nurse at all. My milk is almost gone and I had no problems with overflow or leaking.
The only bad thing that has come from this is that she doesnt sleep well at night anymore. Usually when she would wake up I would nurse her and she would fall back to sleep. I did that for a few nights but then she got smart. She knew that if she would cry then I would feed her so she started to cry alot in hopes that I would feed her. It got to the point where it felt like I was weaning anymore so I stopped night feedings all together. She wakes up multiple times a night and unexpectedly cries. I hate to hear her cry but I feel its time for her to wean. The good things is, is that I put her binky back into her mouth and she falls right back to sleep.
I feel very blessed that my baby has done so well. Im hoping by the new year that she will be cut off completely. :)
