4....Our baby is 4?!?! How did that happen so fast?

We celebrated a big birthday this weekend....Kayden is officially 4!!  I tried to get him to stay 3 forever, but he wasn't going for it. ;)

Still trying to wrap my head around how this precious 8lb, 8.5oz. baby boy.....

 And sweet, beautiful 6 month baby boy....

Became this curious, active, and awesome 1 year old boy....

 And before we knew it, became this fun loving, cutie pie of a 2 year old...

And then in the blink of an eye, became this ornery ;), funny, goofy 3 year old....

 And here he is today....our amazing 4 year old K-Man....as stubborn as the day as he was born (I won't ever let him forget that he was 2 days late, and refused to open his eyes for his first pictures ;) ).....he is so smart, so handsome, makes us laugh constantly, and is very active, artistic, and athletic.

Kayden is such a little athlete.  He got a basketball hoop, hockey sticks, and a bike for his birthday and has wanted to be outside doing all of those things, or playing baseball every waking moment.  I don't know where he gets all of his energy, but I wish I could bottle it up!

His smile is infectious, and his laugh is contagious.  He is adorable, and he knows it....it's a dangerous combination. :) 

I never knew how I could love another child so much, but my heart could just explode with the amount of love I have for my boys.....Kayden has been such an amazing addition to our family and I love him so much, and I love watching him grow and learn.  Even though I wish I could slow down time and keep him from growing up too fast, I am looking forward to seeing him continue to grow and learn over the next few years.

We'll be celebrating again this weekend at the River Bandits minor league baseball game....Kayden is beyond excited!  Can't wait to share more pictures after this weekend.  Until then.....
