First Bike Ride & Trip to the Park

Yesterday, which happened to be my Dad's 60th birthday, was an absolutely GORGEOUS February day! It was so nice that Kaden and I enjoyed getting outdoors after a long winter spent mostly inside. We went for a walk and then played at the park. Kaden had a blast riding on the swings and going down the slide for the first time.

After Ryan got home, we went for a bike ride. This was Kaden's first time to ride on his new bike seat and wear his bike helmet and knee pads. He looked so cute! Then we stopped by the park again to show Daddy how much he likes the swings.

Here's a few pictures of our happy, outdoor-loving little guy:

We have a court date!

Wohoo! We're going to finalize Kaden's adoption on March 8. What is true in our hearts will finally be legal on paper; Kaden will OFFICIALLY be our son!

You are all invited to a finalization party. Here's your invitation:

The blue paper is by Theresa Kavouras; the background paper, ribbon, & paper clips are by Andrea Gold; the word art is by Leah Riordan; the notebook paper is by Valeri Brumfield; and the fonts are J.D. and Ribbon Happy.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone had a wonderful "day of love"! We went out to eat for lunch, with Kaden, but it was still nice.

I know you have seen this already, but here's a Valentine's Day card from Kaden:

Happy Birthday to Me

My birthday was really on Saturday, but most of my family was out of town, so we are going to celebrate today. It actually works out well, because I was sick and in bed on Saturday. I had the flu. Uck! But, Ryan took care of Kaden all day and pampered me, so that was nice!

Kaden is now 9 months old. Before we know it, we'll be celebrating his Tol. For those of you that don't know, the Tol is a big First birthday celebration in Korea. It's a very special tradition, and we are looking forward to it!

Here's a cute pic of our 9-month old big boy:

Oh, and as promised, I got some footage of Kaden on his rider and pushing the walker. Hop on over to Dropshots to see!

This month is going fast already

I can't believe it's already February 7. This month seems to be moving by very quickly. Kaden will be 9 months old on Saturday, which is also my 31st birthday!

We got Kaden a walker and a rider. He's learned how to use both. I need to get video clips of him with his new toys. He was pretty funny to watch with the walker at first. He kept "leaning" like in the picture below!

It took him awhile to figure out how to push himself on the rider, but now that he's got it, he's all over the place. I'll post a picture and/or video sometime.

I'm trying to get caught up on my scrapbooking. Here is my most recent page. Kaden is always acting like a puppy!
