Marchey march....

Austin 5 months




Kaden 23 months

Wow, it's been awhile since I have posted an update on here! Sorry, we have been so busy as usual! Things are really good. The month of Febuary flew by... and I can't believe that we are already in the middle of march!!! Ahhh! Time needs to seriously slow down. Kaden is almost 2! He will be 2 next month. He is saying more and more words everyday and he is my little mockingbird. He repeats everything. Like most 2 year olds, his new favorite word is "no", of course. He continues to surprise us with his outgoing personality and also his love for his baby brother. He loves Austin more than I ever thought he would, it is the sweetest thing to catch him kissing his brother on the forehead when he thinks nobody is looking. Austin loves Kaden too and smiles pretty much the instant he sees him. It makes my heart melt. I can tell they are going to be close buddies. Austin is 6 month tomorrow!! Another shocker....that just seems crazy to me. He is also doing remarkably well. He is trying really hard to crawl, but has yet to get up and move on his hands and knees. He scoots and rolls all over the place and I'm continually leaving the room and coming back finding him far from where I left him. He is starting to be on the move!! He is really really sweet and smiley little guy too!


Mike and I finally got to get away by ourselves this past weekend. We took a little trip to LA and saw a Laker game. We had a really fun time together, just being able to have a conversation without being interrupted was really nice too! We stayed over night in a really pretty hotel in Agoura Hills and then headed home on Monday. It was short but sweet and we really enjoyed ourselves!

Hope you feel updated! XOXO Love, the Byrums

Rain, rain go away!!!!

I think it's about time for an update!!! Nothing real exciting has been going on...In fact, it's been a little difficult with all the rain trying to keep the kids entertained, especially Kaden. He loves being outside and playing with dirt, rocks, anything that will make him dirty basically. It's been hard explaining to him why he can't go outside. He has done surprisingly well though, we've just been coloring and playing with his toys. He really likes hide and go seek now, so we have been doing lots of that too! Overall, things are good. Mike and I decided last week that I would work just one day a week. That way we will have two days off together again and Mike can actually do something for himself too. So, yesterday he went golfing. I was happy that he could do that, he deserves it! He works hard for us! Austin is turning into a little boy! He now plays with toys and is way more interactive. I swear he says "Momma" too! :) Just let me think that alright!!! Kaden and Austin have started to play together a little bit and it is just the cutest thing ever!!! I love it. Hope everyone is well!

Kaden loves to dance!

Kaden discovered my ipod this week. He really loves having the headphones in his ears and hearing the music so good. When he wants me to get it out, he says, "Momma, dance.." He puts the headphones up to his ears and dances, no matter what song comes on. Oh, my sweet little Kaden, I love that boy more every day. He has the best personality. He surprises me all the time with the things he says and does. He is learning to say "I love you", to me that is the best thing ever. He still loves having his Daddy take him to the park to play but he is still a true momma's boy. We have a special bond.

Austin's 4 month checkup...

Austin had his four month check up today! He is doing very good...He weighed 16lbs 3oz. (75th%) and he was 27" long (<95%). As you can see, he is very tall for his age! It's hard to believe that Kaden was this size once. Austin did have to have 4 shots today, that was so sad!!! He cried pretty hard for a few minutes and then he was over it. Overall, things went well. Kaden was a little concerned that the appointment was for him. He was a little scared at first until we told him he just got to watch today. They are so cute and I feel so very blessed to have them.

Our big ol' boy!

Austin weighs 17lbs already! He is a linebacker in the making apparently. He is just getting so big, so fast and it's freaking me out a little! :) Slow down baby boy, Mama needs you to be little for a little longer!

Just a few of my new favorites....

Happy New Year everyone!

Can anyone else believe how big Austin is getting? Austin is fast approaching 4 months old. He is a sweet boy who has won all three of us over. He absolutely loves Kaden, in fact I think Kaden might be his favorite thing to look at. It's so cute to see him watching his big brother and smile. Kaden continues to be an awesome big brother and loves his brother more everyday too! He smiles when Austin smiles and laughs when he laughs. I can see the bond between them growing strong already. I told Kaden that before long Austin will be up running around with him and he liked that idea. Kaden amazes us all the time with his ever expanding vocabulary. He is really learning how to communicate a lot and I have to say it's pretty cute. The things he's into these days are, sitting up on the kitchen counter while I cook dinner, playing with his toys from Santa, and playing with dirt. He got a tricycle from santa (aka "pa pa") and this tricycle might be one of the coolest ones I've ever seen. Kaden is still learning what to do on it, but he certainly loves to stand on the back. He loves it....

We are all doing well, I am enjoying being back at work two days a week. Mike is adjusting to taking care of the boys one day all day! I have to say that he is doing an amazing job and seems to have it amazingly "together" when I come home from work. He can be "Mr. Mom" if need be and that is a very good thing!!! I am lucky! Everyone is healthy and were just very busy! Love to everyone! Good night!
