Why I Rode 11 Hours Last Saturday

We drove for 11 hours last Saturday just so I could hold our grandson baby Caden for my first time.  I loved rocking him to sleep and singing to him.  I was so content just rocking with him and cuddling with him.

Fun Time at the Park

It is 81 degrees and sunny today.  The kids took advantage of the spring time day and went to the park.

Evan at Grammie and Pappy G's House

 Evan was at our house for a few hours on Friday night.  Whenever he comes into our house, Evan says, " I want my cars."  He then goes to the toy baskets and gets his cars. (We do have a lot of other toys for him.) He loves cars.  Evan even had to take his cars to bed with him.

In this photo, I asked Evan to smile and show his teeth.  Evan seems to be such a big boy.  He loves to play cars with Pappy G.

Darling Pictures of Tyler

 This looks like Tyler is talking to the duck.

Just too cute for words!!!

Caden Knows His Daddy

Caden was getting a little fussy.  As soon as his Daddy started talking to him, he responded by listening and calming down.  It is so precious that Caden recognized his Daddy's voice.  What a special bond they have already!  This is one of my favorite moments while visiting Caden and his Mommy and Daddy and dog Hayley.

Evan Singing His ABC's

Evan can sing all of the ABC song.  He usually will stop singing when I have the Flip camera.  Tonight he sang the song, however, his latest trick is to lip sync.  You can see Evan in the video just moving his lips and no sound coming out.  As we prompt him, he does finish the song.  I recorded this just after his bath and while he was eating his bedtime snack of animal crackers and chocolate milk. Of course, later in the evening, Evan sang the complete song even with "now I know my ABC's; next time won't you sing with me?" As he was falling asleep, I asked him to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and he did.  Evan, also, sang "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." What a cutie!!!!!

Caden Our Cutie Pie

Here is Caden waiting to be swaddled.  He just had a bath and is ready to relax.  I think he looks too cute in this outfit.  We love Caden sooooooooo much and give thanks to our God for this precious baby grandson.

Caden and His New Toy

This is the first time that Caden was introduced to new soft puppy that Aunt Bon Bon and Uncle Cha Cha gave to him.

 Caden really likes to feel the softness of the puppy.

Our Visit with Caden

 Caden with his Auntie Alisson.  Alisson rode down with us on Saturday and then flew home on Sunday evening.

 Caden just looking too cute.  This little man has so many clothes. 

 Grammie and Pappy G with precious Caden Zachary.  Caden is 7 weeks old and weighs 8lbs. 3oz.  We got to spend 6 days with Caden and his family.  It was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

This is Caden on a Tummy Time blanket that my good friend Sally made for him.  It has photos of all of the Kallenbach family on it.  It is so beautiful.  Since Caden is not a fan of "Tummy Time", I only got a photo of him laying on the blanket. 

Cute Caden

Caden sound asleep on his Gramma Linda's shoulder.  He looks so peaceful.

Caden listening to his Daddy playing the guitar.

Caden all bundled up to go for a walk.  If he was in NW Ohio he would have to be wearing a lot more clothing to keep warm.  He is so cute!!!

Caden is wearing his cool booties.  I can hardly wait to hold this precious grandson.

Caden Snoozing with Daddy

Here is Caden taking a nap with Daddy in the recliner.

Caden Loves Being Home

Caden is so cozy at home.  What a precious little baby boy.

Tyler at Our House

Here is Tyler wearing hand me down pajamas from Evan.   He looks more and more like Evan. Tyler does have bright blue eyes and Evan's eyes are brown.  Tyler is such a happy baby.  He smiles and laughs a lot.  He is beginning to make sounds and babble.  He blows bubbles, too.  We have so much fun with him.  He smiles as soon as he sees me.  I just love it.

Caden at Home

Hayley is already Caden's best buddy.

 Caden's first bath at home.  Too cute!!

G.   Home Sweet Home for Caden and Daddy.   "Thank you dear Lord this wonderful day and thank you for being with Zach and Laurie during these past 5 weeks.  Continue to keep Zach, Laurie and Caden in your loving, protective arms.  In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

A Few Hours with Tyler

Tyler's family went to Kori's School Carnival.  We got to have Tyler with us.  He Skyped with Aunt Bon Bon for a half hour.  Tyler is such a sweet baby.  He loves to hold his head up while on his tummy and just look around. 

Here is Tyler after his bath and being fed.  He has his thumb and is ready to fall asleep.   We got him these lion pajamas. They are size 6 months.  I just love the outfits/pajamas with the bottom decorations.

Baby Caden

Caden's Gramma took this photo of him in his crib in the Transition Nursery at Duke Hospital.  We are so thankful to God for his continued growth and development.

Evan

Evan came over to play for a couple of hours this evening with Tyler, Josh and Kori.  When I first took pictures of Evan, he squinted his eyes closed.  After taking the picture, he said, "I did this."  I said, "You look goofy in the picture" and I showed the picture to him.  Afterwards, Evan at least had his eyes open for these photos.  As you can see, he still likes cars and other vehicles.  Evan seems like a big boy compared to baby Tyler. 

Tyler Time

Tyler is holding up his head so well.  I had not seen him for a week.  What a difference a week makes in a baby's development!!!!

Tyler is thinking... Quick!  Take the picture Grammie before I roll over.

Caden and Daddy

 Caden is thinking, "I feel so safe in my Daddy's arms."

 Caden loves to cuddle with Daddy!!

 What a precious little baby boy!!

I just love this photo.
