Mommy's been slacking!

Well it's been way way way too long since Mommy last wrote to you, I have no excuse... I just forgot! Life isn't too crazy, but I think about writing and then when I sit down to actually do it, I get side tracked!

Well your a crazy little 2.5 year old! Dancing, singing, talking, running, laughing, cuddling, playing with your dogs, enjoying going to play group, meeting new friends and learning new things. You LOVE to change your clothes 10 times a day, watch Max & Ruby at least 100 times a day... at least that's how it feels to me.

We went to see Santa this month, but you were not very fond of him and didn not want to sit on his lap. So of course, Mommy and Daddy had to be in the picture again this year. You are also very afraid of him coming to the house to bring you gifts, the other day you told me, "Mommy, Santa not come to my house! I don't want him to!" I'm sure you'll change your mind when you see what he brings.

You have been in swimming lessons for a couple weeks. For some reason you don't like the teacher, she's very nice but you want nothing to do with her. However you do love being in the pool and especially love to jump in off the side.

We had a gift exchange with Katia a couple weeks ago, it was very cute! Katia got you a little doctors set, which you love. And you got her a little laptop.

On Dec 10, 2011 you had your first ever sleep over! You stayed the night at Omie's all by yourself and had so much fun! When Mommy and Daddy left, you kissed us goodbye, said I love you and waved out the window... not one single tear. My girl is getting so big! Omie said you ate LOTS, watchhed Rodoulph the Red Nosed Reindeer and treehouse, played with Sierra, talked to Papa on the phone and had a great time. You slept in Omie's bed with her and only woke up once in the night for a quick second and then went back to sleep. You were very happy to see us in the morning when we came to pick you up and we couldn't wait to give you a big hug.

I'm sure there have been tons and tons of other exciting things that have happened over the last couple months... your growing way too fast, your very very smart, love to have fun and are forever changing. I love you so much!

Love Momma

Dear Cadence,

It's again, been way too long since I last wrote to you. Sorry baby! :)

Well life is great! Your the perfect little girl. So cute, yet so sassy, you talk like CRAZY, dance like a dancing queen, sing like a superstar. Your just a ball of love and smiles.

Every night I go to bed to you holding hands with me and telling me you love me. And I wake up to just the same! I couldn't ask for anything more! Your just so amazing and make my life perfect and Daddy's life too of course.

These days you seem to be crazy about dolls and purses. You always have a purse over your shoulder and your baby in your arms. Telling her you love her, feeding her and playing.

I could go on with all the amazing things you do these days... put I'll leave that for another day :) You are waiting for me to watch Max and Ruby, which by the way... we watch all day long!

I love you sweet girl!

Love Momma

Your growing way too fast!

Dear Cadence,
It's been far too long since Mommy last wrote to you and truly I have no excuse! I guess time just flies when your having fun!

I will start with some sad news... On June 25 2011 your Great Great Grampa passed away. He was an amazing man and I wish you had the chance to meet him. We went to Prince George for his funeral and although it was a sad occasion, it was still great to see everyone.
Now onto some updates... Well to start you talk like crazy! You have learned to talk in sentences now and it seems as though you learn a new word everyday! You are such a little character. You love to watch Max & Ruby, play with the animals, hang out with Daddy in the garage, help Mommy cook and like a typical girl you love to talk on the phone.

You still sleep in Mom and Dads bed most nights and your carseat is still your favorite place to nap. You love listening to loud music with Daddy in the truck, it usually puts you to sleep. You can count to 3 and say your ABC's, with some help. Your crazy about animals and love to play outside. The lake seems to be a fantastic hang out on a sunny day and you always have a smile on your face. Of course you do take after Mommy and Daddy in the attitude department, but I guess that's what we get.

Life is great and we love you so very much!

Love Momma

Long Overdue!

Dear Cadence,

It has been WAY too long since Mommy last wrote to you... sorry, I guess time got away from me! Well so much has happened... so so so much!

First there was Easter and you got TONS of candy! Uncle Croix, Karina, Catia, Papa and Omie came over for dinner. We had a red neck Easter dinner, smokies over the fire, BBQ ribs, potato salad and smore's. It was sooo yummy! We also went over to Holy's house to get some pictures of you girls with Mr. Dot.

Not only did you get TONS of candy and toys fro Easter, but we also got you a kitten. His name is Bolt...

Afew days after Easter, Holy asked us if we would like to have Candy a 12 year old QH. Of course we said yes... so not only did you get a cat, but we also got a horse! She is the sweetest horse ever and we all love her very much.

Other then all the animals we have collected over the last couple months... you have been learning to count and say your ABC's. You talk non stop and are always getting into something. You've turned into an extreme daddy's girl, no matter where Daddy is, you love to be with him. All in all, you've grown so much over the past couple months and become such a little girl.

There is so much more that I can talk about, but I will leave it at that for now! I love you so much Miss Monkey!

Happy 2nd Birthday

Dear Cadence,

Yesterday was your 2nd Birthday! It's so crazy to think that your already 2 years old and no longer a baby, but you will always be my baby! So much has happened in the last 2 years and you've changed so so so very much!

You talk, walk & run, dance, eat anything we put in front of you, you can be bossy & so sweet, you have such personality and make the best faces. Your a little girl now and like to play with dolls & barbies, read books, watch tv & movies, swim, play in the snow, play with your big brother bears, and hang out with Mom & Dad. Your always ready to color a picture or paint a picture, help Mommy clean the house or make a mess after Mommy cleans. Tubby time is one of your fav things to do at the end of a long day, you brush your teeth, but don't really like getting your hair done.

Of course your the typical girlie girl and love clothes & shoes. Max & Ruby are your favorite cartoon characters at the moment, but you also love Disney movies and any show with puppies. You love apples, olives, oranges, bananas (pretty much any fruits) and like a nice bowl of cheezies. Cheese is always at the top of your snack list, right under yogart. I could go on forever with list upon list of the things you like... your not a very picky little girl!

For breakfast on your special day, Mommy made you some heart shaped waffels, but you were more interested in eating a hotdog and ended up feeding the hearts to Cuda.

Then we took you out shopping for your Birthday and let you pick out whatever you wanted. You picked a nice princess suitcase, 5 books, a truck and your very first barbie.

Here you are playing with your new truck... Daddy was so proud when you decided to get a Cat truck.

After we went shopping, then we took you out for lunch to McDonalds. You had chicken nuggets and fries. And ate the ketchup with a straw, silly girl!

After McDonalds we went home to play for a little while before dinner. We took you to a Chinese restaurant in Lacombe, they had the biggest fish there...

I hope you had a great Birthday Baby! Mommy loves you so very much and I look forward to the next birthday and many more to come. Happy Birthday again to my sweet baby girl! No matter how old you are, you will always be my baby

Love Momma

First Hair Cut

Dear Cadence,
Today you got your very first hair cut. Mommy just cut your bangs, so that you can see... but you were so good and stayed nice and still. You look like such a big girl now! I love you sweet girl!
Love Momma

All life's changes....

Dear Cadence,

Over the past 3 weeks, so much has changed! You are now without a diaper ALL day long and only wear a pull up at bed time! Some days you have an accident, but most days you don't. And we are so proud! No more breastfeeding at ALL! For a long time Mommy had been only nursing you at night, but we cut out night time feedings and your doing so good with it! It took a couple nights of fights, but you got over it. You are also sleeping in your own bed and sleeping through the night... it's been amazing! However your bed is in our room, but for now it works!

I guess our next quest will be to get rid of your sucky... but we have cut back with it. You only get the sucky at nap and bed time. One battle at a time and right now i think we have lots and lots of changes happening, so if the sucky is the only baby thing you still have... then Momma is ok with that!

It's so hard to believe that you'll be 2 next month! I remember the day we found out we were pregnant, then the first time we heard your heart beat, the first time we saw you on an ultrasound, when I went into that long and painful labor, to the first time I saw your beautiful little face! You've been our pride and joy since day one and we love you so much!

I could go on forever and tell you all the amazing things your doing these days... but it's time to give you a bath. I love you so much Miss Cadence!

Love Momma

Potty Training

Dear Cadence,

Well today you made Mommy and Daddy so proud! You came to Mommy and said you had to pee, you then took me to the bathroom. When I put you on the potty, you quickly peed and said "Good girl!" And you have done it about 5 more times today. We are so proud of you!

You have been without a diaper for most of the day today, except at nap time. And you've only had one accident. I guess you've decided that you no longer want to wear diapers and your ready to be potty trained. Mommy is so proud of you and I love you so very very much.

Love Momma
