HAPPY BIRTHDAY KADEN!


KADEN'S BLESSING DAY- 3 MONTHS OLD

KADEN AT 1 YEAR!

"KADEN IS 6 TODAY!"

I can't believe that Kaden is 6 years old today! I remember the day he was born, and how excited we all were that Colton was going to have a baby brother. It has been so neat through the years to watch his personality develop into his own (nothing like Colton), and to also watch him become a "big brother" to his little sister. Here are a few facts about Kaden:

  • He looks a lot like his Dad, with his curly hair and his square chin.
  • He has green eyes, 1 of 2 Carpenter men that have green eyes.
  • His Grandma Jo calls him "Cocoa Bear", because he gets so tan in the summer.
  • He is my "wild child", and I love it!
  • He can bring a smile to everyone's face no matter how naughty he is being!
  • He weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz. at birth (being 2 1/2 weeks early!)
  • He now weighs a solid "59.6" pounds, and he loves to check the number on the scale almost daily! He thinks it is cool, I don't think he quite gets it!
  • His smile melts my heart.
  • He loves to sleep in late, and hates to be woken up.
  • He is starting Kindergarten this year, and is SO EXCITED!
  • He is quick to say he is sorry, and he is very generous with his hugs and kisses.
  • He is a rough and tumble kid who loves to climb on everything! (My only child who is a monkey!)
  • He loves to breakdance, play all sports, and he is very into drawing!
  • He is left handed in writing as well as sports.
  • He loves to play with the "older" boys, because he says, "I am just as big as they are!"
    And he usually is!
  • He couldn't say the word "Dad" until he was almost 3, and with a lot of Speech Therapy, great pre-school teachers, and a lot of work at home with Mom, HE SPEAKS AMAZING! I am so proud of him that he has worked so hard!
  • His favorite color is blue...and red...and black...
  • He loves Pizza, and will try most everything once!
  • He loves to pray, especially for Colton to be nice to him!
  • He loves to go to the BEACH! It is his favorite place ever!
Kaden is a very special boy, so different than my other 2 children. He holds a special place in my heart! He is such a helper, loves to just hang out with the family, has a few good friends, but prefers to be with his family and cousins!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KADEN, I LOVE YOU!

Happy Birthday Kaden! I didn't realize we had kids so close in age. My middle one turns 6 next month. I love your tribute to him, it's great to get to know him more. Hope it was a fabulous day for him!

All I can say is that Kaden is growing up too, too fast, how can he be 6 already? And he's such a sweet and handsome boy too!!!
