Jaden's First Zoo Trip!

Yesterday Jaden had his first trip with me, and his Grandma and Grandpa Lakin! He loved it! He got to feed birds, feed Llamas, and Grandma bought him a cute giraffe stuffed animal to remember his trip! Here are some cute pictures of him :)

My Gorgeous Sister

My sister is my hero in so many ways. She is the strongest person that I know and has gone through more in 9 months than anyone has in their lifetime. The day she was born, seeing her for the first time, was like looking at an angel. She was a miracle baby and after that first day, I knew that she could move mountains. I have always wished with every pregnancy of my moms that a little sister would come along. I waited forever for this girlie but she was well worth the wait. She is my Princess. She is about to go through a challenging surgery (possibly next week) and is in need of a lot of prayer. I couldn't imagine life without my baby sister. She is the most amazing babygirl that I have ever met. Here is a link to her CaringBridge. My mom updates it frequently. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers these next couple of months.

Swimming!

On Saturday My family and my aunt and cousins all went to the Marshalltown pool to swim! We had a TON of fun. Went down the slides, the lazy river, and the babies had tons of fun in the baby area. We are very excited for the next time that we get to do this. Jaden had a lot of fun on Sunday too. My mom decided to repaint the house on the inside, everything of coarse was strung out everywhere, and Jaden thought it was soo cool to see what he could get in to :) SUCH A BOY!

Fun at Grandma Lakin 's

Jaden at Grandma & Grandpa Lakin's playing with his Cousin Willow :) Willow grace was born Sept. 25, 2009 and is 6 weeks older than him. They are so cute together! On another note, ever since Jaden has started crawling, he thinks he is hot stuff and has officially found the stairs!! Uh-OH! Hopefully he doesn't decide to take any tumbles any time soon...

Jaden's first 4th of July!

He LOVED the fireworks! He just sat in awe watching them. On the 5th, he was in his first parade with me and my work (Medicap) He made it through at least half of the parade before falling asleep. It was soo cute because a little butterfly landed on his blanket during the parade and stayed there for about 5 minutes! (I have included a picture) All in all we had a wonderful fourth together :)

Crawling!

Starting this blog a little late in his life :) Jaden is now 3 days shy of turning 8 months old and has began crawling! I am super excited for this milestone and hoping that being mobile will make this little boy a little happier :) It's a little scary to think that his next milestone will be walking. YIKES!

Bringing Jaden Home!

We brought Jaden home on the Monday after he was born. I was so excited to finally get to take him home and try out all his baby things and meet his aunt Khloe! His first night went better than I expected. Such a good little baby!

Jaden Nathan Zade Arnett was born!

Jaden Nathan Zade Arnett was born Saturday November 7, 2009. He weighed 5lbs 13oz and was 19.5 inches long. It was too amazing to explain what I was feeling when I first saw my baby boy. It's been so fun to watch him grow!
