Christmas Tree oh Christmas Tree

Sorry about his messy face and clothes...we just got done eating dinner and usually wait to clean him completely up until bath time...

...We are totally excited about spending our first Christmas in our new house. It seems so much more warm and inviting than it did in our old house. I can't wait to start all the traditions with Kaden in our new home. This year I think it will be a lot more fun with Kaden and Christmas. He is understanding more and more about things going on around him.

Speaking of Kaden, he is now 17 months old. He is just as ornery as all get out. He repeats EVERYTHING you say, and remembers everyone he sees. He loves to help us clean up, especially after dinner. He scoots his chair in and puts his fork in the dishwasher. He is saying close to 100 words in his everyday vocabulary. He is starting to speak in sentences right now too.

I have gone back to work, just for something to do, and also to give us a little bit of extra money to put back in our savings account. The days that I work Kaden stays with his "Dee-Dee" aka Kyle's mom. He loves to slide down the little slide that she got for him...he shows off on it every time I go to pick him up. ;) He also loves to watch Handy Manny right before his nap time.

Kaden has names for all of his favorite t.v. shows including, "Mick" (mickey mouse), "Pooh" (winnie the pooh), "Mammie" (handy manny), and of course "ELMO"...he LOVES Elmo!!

We are all doing wonderful here in the Ulrich house. I hope that everyone is enjoying their holiday season...I know we are!! :)
