Build a Jaden

So.... Shawn's mission president is coming home soon and we wanted to get Jaden a new outfit to wear to the homecoming. Well, we went to the mall and after searching for a few hours and not finding a single thing, we were very discouraged...he's just so little (but so cute)! We were just about to leave when we passed the Build a Bear Workshop and I had an idea! You guessed it.... while other people in the store were dressing stuffed animals, Shawn and I were finding an outfit for our little boy! Everyone there got quite a kick out of us! This is our end result! Doesn't he look adorable!

Jaden has a new favorite game, its called "Steal the washcloth" he likes to play this game during bath time! We have the cutest little wash cloth that has a teddy bear head on it (thanks Sarah) and now whenever we give him a bath, he tries to grab it! I'll tell you what, he is one tough kid and when he does get a hold of it, bath time stops until he decides to give it back! Its pretty cute!

Oh and just a new quick update...Jaden has finally hit 6 pounds! 6 pounds 3 ounces to be exact! Way to go buddy! We're so proud!

Hooray For 5 Pounds!

We took Jaden to the doctor for his 2 week check up this past week and were so excited to find out he's gained 7 ounces! :) He is now 5 lbs and 5 ounces! We are SO proud! Kinda funny the things we get overly excited about now but nonetheless its a great thing! He can also now be in a normal car seat (hooray) and we're hoping that within the next little while he'll start being able to fit into newborn clothes! We're optimistic what can I say! But he is adorable!

Baby Jaden!

Well its taken awhile to get some pictures up of our cute baby Jaden and I apologize! Shawn has been off of work up until today so we have just been enjoying the time with our little family! Here are some pictures of the last 13 days we have had our sweet baby boy! I ended up going into labor early, so when we got to the hospital they tried to turn Jaden (he was breech) Yet it was to no avail, so I had a c section. Shawn thought it was pretty rad he got to watch and has now seen more of me than I will ever see! Here is a picture of the proud papawith his new baby boy just minutees old!

Here is our 4 lb 15 oz perfect little boy! we are so blessed to have him!
All the cousins were very excited to meet him!
Auntie Sarah
Elizabeth was so cute with Jaden!

We did n't take any pictures of Jaden on the way home from the hospital because he was so little the outfit we had gotten hom wouldn't fit....Sorry!

Once we got home it was time for more father son bonding. Shawn and Jaden took a few naps together this week! :) Arent they cute!

Here is Jaden's first bath! At first he was NOT a fan.... after a few minutes though he relaxed and actually seemed to enjoy it!

I've taken so many pictures the last 2 weeks and Jaden finally had enough...I guess this was his way of telling me he was done being photographed!More of Jaden and Shawn, I just cant get enough of the two of them!
So sometimes Shawn and I just sit and hold Jaden and watch all the funny faces he makes! Its actually quite fun! We ciould sit there all day and just look at our beautiful baby boy and laugh at some of the great faces.... here is our favorite! You can't help but laugh! :)
