2011-05-19T12:35:00.000-07:00

Yes, we are crazy. Caden loves music and singing so much we thought drums would be the perfect addition to the piano and his guitar.

It's official...Baby Adams #3 is on the way!

2011-03-26T09:26:00.000-07:00

Here is the 12 week ultrasound which includes a 4D picture of Baby Adams #3. Crazy, huh? We are not going to find out the sex. There are very few surprises in life...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2011-03-03T07:25:00.000-08:00

Alex and I partied with Mom and Dad until 9:00p.m. on New Years Eve! We started a new tradition of making homemade ice cream. It takes a long time to make and it was really hard to wait, but it was worth it. Yum!

Snow and Ice Skating - Winter 2010

2011-03-03T07:17:00.000-08:00

Halloween was fun! Friday we went trick-or-treating at Daddy's office. Saturday we carved pumpkins and went to a couple houses in the neighborhood. Caden wasn't crazy about his monkey costume at first, but then he realized he got candy if he wore it. Alex was hot in her puppy costume.

2009-08-30T14:32:00.000-07:00

Alex is 3 months! She went to the doctor on Wednesday and weighs 12lbs and is 23.5 inches long. Just this week - She started sleeping through the night - 9:00pm to 7:30am, she found her hands and she started laughing for Daddy when he tickles her. The dimple in her left cheek really shows when she laughs. It is amazing all the changes she has made in just less than 100 days.

2009-06-07T11:39:00.001-07:00

It took me about a week, but Alexandra is officially "my baby". I like to feed her, give her a binkie, cover her with a blanket and sing her the "night, night" song that mommy and daddy sing to me when they put me to bed. I am a great big brother if I don't say so myself.

Mama's Belly

2009-06-06T12:56:00.000-07:00

When sissy was in mommy's belly, Mom and Dad would ask, "where's the baby". I would lift up Mommy's shirt and kiss her belly. They made sure not to ask the question when mommy was wearing a dress. :-)

Happy Easter!!!

2009-04-18T06:54:00.000-07:00

I had a fun Easter. On Saturday my buddy Britton came over and we attempted an egg hunt. We didn't quite get it. On Sunday my Nanny, Poppa and Great Aunties came over for brunch. The Easter Bunny brought me these cool glasses, books, flashcards, stickers and building blocks.

Getting Ready for my Baby Sister

2009-03-28T07:28:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad bought me a baby doll for Valentines Day. I really wanted nothing to do with her until recently. Now I like to take her out of her crib, give her hugs and kisses, feed her a bottle and when I am done I throw her on the floor. I am going to be a great big brother!

Hawaii January '09

2009-02-06T05:10:00.000-08:00

Hawaii was an adventure! Daddy had the stomach flu the first two days in Oahu and I got a cold/ear infection. Once we saw the doctor and started feeling better, it was a blast! I loved playing with my bucket and shovel in the sand and chasing waves. Our second week we went to Kauai and Nanny and Poppa joined us for a couple days. We went on a helicopter tour of the island.

It's a Girl!!

2009-01-17T07:34:00.000-08:00

It's confirmed. We are having a girl!

Christmas Letter 2008

2009-01-06T21:15:00.000-08:00

Happy Holidays! We hope this finds everyone well.

What an eventful year 2008 was! I am now 17 months and I have reached many milestones. I learned to walk, talk, eat with a fork and spoon and I have my own opinion when it comes to certain foods and bed time. One of my favorite things to do is make the "cheese" face for the camera and imitate everyone around me. A couple weeks ago I took a nose dive out of my crib so I am now in a big boy bed in my special big boy room.

Mom and Dad are doing well. Dad is still at Merrill Lynch. He has been working there 12 years in June. Mom has been at AstraZeneca as a Pharmaceutical Sales Specialist for almost 2 years. Life isn't all work. They took vacations to Hawaii, Phoenix, and New York this year. At the end of this month, all three of us will go to Hawaii for 2 weeks.

Our biggest news for 2009 will be the arrival of my baby sister or brother in June. Mom and Dad decided to find out the sex this time so check the blog on January 17th for the big announcement.

We hope that 2009 brings many blessings to all.
Lots of love,
Caden Michael Adams

My new thing is squeeling. I just love to hear my self! I also like read books with Mommy and Daddy and play with Mardi Dog.

The best present was my Auntie Birdie (Erica) came from Arizona to spend the weekend with me!

My 1st Christmas...not quite as planned.

2007-12-29T10:25:00.000-08:00

December 19th I came home from daycare not feeling so well. The next day I developed a really bad cough. On Saturday, December 22, Mom & Dad took me to the pediatrician. Before I knew it, I was in an ambulance on my way to Children's Hospital- where I spent 4 days. My cold (RSV) got into my lungs (bronchiolitis). The doctors and nurses helped by giving me an Albuterol treatment, sucking the "ick" out of my nose every couple of hours and giving me oxygen. I woke up Christmas morning feeling better and starting to smile again. They let me go home Christmas afternoon. Mom, Dad & I had a quiet night at home watching Christmas movies.Mom & Dad brought my Mardi dog to keep me company (above).

Daddy bought me a Christmas outfit to go home in. The quilt in the last picture was my present from Santa at Children's. Every kid wakes up to a stocking at the hospital. Mine had a Christmas quilt and a teething ring in it. It made Christmas extra special since Santa delivered all my other presents to Wenatchee the week prior.

My Christmas Present to Mommy & Daddy
