Busy, busy

I have definitely been a slacker when it comes to updating our blog. With football season, work, and just everyday chores, I rarely have time for anything related to the computer!

Kade is now officially 9 months old and weighs 21 lbs. 3 oz. We are still dealing with the 4 new teeth that have "sprouted" in his mouth. He is eating a regular lunch tray at school, and I think it has created a monster. He does not want baby food any more. He thinks he is supposed to eat whatever mama is eating. Which, I guess, it really is a good thing.
He dances more and more each day. His favorite song right now is the theme song to Sex and the City. :) Sad, I know!

We went tailgating this past weekend (LSU game). Kade was WONDERFUL! He really enjoyed all of the music and attention. Aunt Brandee and Uncle Otto stayed with us all weekend, and I think Kade enjoyed having them here as much as I did. We are ready for the Arkansas game. We are tailgating with Reid's family, and I know Kade will enjoy playing with Aunt LeLe and Braden.

We made a quick trip to Old Navy to pick up some fall/winter clothes for Kade. We put a hat on him, just to try it on, and Kade thought it was hilarious! I have never heard him laugh so hard! Obviously, we bought the hat!

I don't want him to grow up! If anyone knows about a secret "pause" button that I can just push, let me know. :)

Reid and I are busy as usual - either at work or here at home. This year is going by so fast!

Hopefully, I will be able to update everyone in the next week or so. Hope everyone has a great week! We love you!!!!

Hey!

After discovering that blog spot even existed (thanks Leanne!), I decided I would create an account and try it out. I thought it would be a good idea to keep everyone updated about our lives and about Kade. Hopefully, I will have a chance to post a blog every week or two just to let everyone know about any new developments in our lives.

So for now...
Reid is working like crazy- between the City and here at home. I am finally starting to feel comfortable with my new position at Shawmut (FINALLY!). Kade changes so much each day!
He started crawling around the end of July, and he seems to be "on the go" all of the time now. He is always in to something, and he is always so happy. We laugh and play everyday when I pick him up from "school".
He has 4 new teeth- which have been keeping he and I both up at night lately! :)
"Dancing" and clapping his hands are two of the funniest things right now. Bath time is also a favorite!
He is drinking from a sippy cup and eating any and everything. He really loves spaghetti!
His blonde hair grows thicker and longer each day and he is still a little chunky (which I love).
He says "DaDa" all of the time and just started saying "BaBa". He has said "MaMa" maybe 3 times. Reid loves the fact that he says "DaDa" more than "Ma Ma"!

Hopefully, I will get a good picture of his 4 new teeth soon and I will post it on here.

We hope everyone is doing great! Have a wonderful week (what is left of it anyways)! Be sure to support Auburn this Saturday! War Eagle!

We love you!
Reid, Karla, and Kade Riley
