Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was good for us this year. We are thankful for so many things; family and friends. Being together once again and for Kaiden. Kaiden is the number one thing Mike & I are truely thankful for. We love him to death!!

My sister Lydia sent Kaiden this adorable onesie. It was for thanksgiving so he wore it all day long. Here he is wearing it...

We had a few friends over. It was a really good time! Oh, before I forget. I took a video of Kaiden and asked him what he was thankful for... well, you'll just have to watch the video....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Much Big News

As you may know Mike reenlisted for three more years. We had been talking about it for months; before deployment. So while Mike was on deployment he took action and re-upped his contract.

Not only did Mike reenlisted this deployment, he also took his 2nd class exam (to become an E5). This morning while I was still sleeping (Kaiden was generous enough to let me sleep till about 730), Mike texted me and this is what he said "Hey baby good morning. I love you. And I made 2nd class. The results from the test came out today." Well, there you go... Mike made 2nd class!! I'm excited for him and very proud of him.

Two Month Check-Up

Nov. 10th

Kaiden had his 2 month old check-up. He was a very good boy. Until they gave him him 4 shots in his little baby legs and one oral shot. He took those like a champ - cried until I picked him up. His been doing good. He has been sleeping a lot more, eats maybe 5 times a day and had a little fever, but he is all better now. For his age group his a big boy; that's what his doctor said. His bigger then 90% of boys his age. His weight & height are evenly proportioned. So our baby is very healthy!!

Weight: 13lbs 15oz and Height: 24inches.

Kaiden & his Daddy

Mike & Kaiden have been bounding these last few days. Its like they have known each other since Kaiden was born. I think Kaiden just know who's his Daddy. While Mike was over seas and had a chance to call me I would get all happy. So Kaiden knows that if Mommy gets happy when she hears daddy's voice. Then Daddy must be a good guy!!

Mike is crazy about the little man. He holds him none stop - always kissing and hugging him. I'm very thankful that Mike is home. And is doing a great job with the little man.

Here are a few photos of them together. Tag lines are at the bottom of the photos.

Kaiden slept the entire time - lol.

Peleliu Home Coming

Kaiden, Eli & I arrive on base at 730 in the morning. The Peleliu was pulling into port at 9. We had to be early, since we were VIP - lol. Mike called me from Point Loma. That's about an hour from their pier. After we got off the phone it started to rain. Didn't stop raining till we got home. To top that off Mike stood on top of the ship - manning the rails. So He was drenched!! But it was still nice to see him getting off that ship. Well here are a few photos. Kaiden is ready to meet his Daddy. His in his little sailors outfit.

I'm just trying to keep myself warm.Mindy, Jess & I are just hanging out by my car. Kaiden was sleeping in his car seat - keeping warm!Eli & I making faces while hiding from the rain, under an umbrella. My favorite part!! Mike was 1 of 10 new Daddy's - they got off the ship first.

All us new Mommy's were very happy and excited about that.

We were in a hurry to get out of there, so we were not very social with anyone.
