So sleepy

Last week, Kamden got a bit off schedule by going to bed too late and therefore not getting his standard 12-13 hours a night (rough life).  It took awhile to get things back to normal.  He fell asleep while eating lunch and didn't wake up when I cleaned his face (which is normally a complete melt down), carried him upstairs, OR CHANGED HIS DIAPER!  It was insane.  He is not normally the type to sleep through much but he was obviously pooped!  He proceeded to take a 3.5 hour nap.  

Choo Chooooooo

Union Station has an amazing toy train display.  I have been a few times with my nephew but this is, obviously, the first time Kamden has known what is happening.  He was in LOVE.  Jibber Jabbered the whole time and pointed and all the trains.  We went on Friday with my sister and my nephews and again a few days later with Joe. 

Kam & Kitty

Kamden has always loved the dogs and been intrigued by the cat.  She generally wants nothing to do with him.  I consider it a huge success that she has only made him cry about 3 times in 16 months.  She is very good at just giving him a warning bite when she has had it with him.  This week, Kamden and Kitty (occasionally known as Sammy) were full on PLAYING together.  Kam thought it was amazing.  He laughed as hard as I have ever seen him laugh!

A few silly things....

 Kamden loves wearing daddy's ties and walking around the house

  

I love online shopping for the holidays.  Black friday was a success from the comfort of my home.  Sadly (or happily?), this was probably HALF of the boxes that appeared on my doorstep!

Kamden has found a new love of playing with my computer.  It is difficult because he can push a chair to the desk and climb all the way up.  He has thrown some monumental tantrums when I remove him.  If he wants to keep shopping the Nordstom website for handbags, I might just let him (as soon as he figures out Daddy's credit card info).

My firstborns.  The really love each other.  When one is out of the house for vet or grooming, the other is distraught.  I am dreading the day when one is alone forever.

Nutcracker 2012

Fabulous night with friends and family.  We relived a night from our childhood.  We went with the W family (or the 2 that currently live in KC).  We went together as kids and loved going as adults.  I am now looking forward to seeing future performances at the new Kauffman Center.  It was beautiful, and not a bad seat in the house!

SANTA!

 SANTA! OH MY GOD! SANTA'S COMING! I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM! 

 - Buddy the Elf 

Sadly, Kamden was not nearly as excited for Santa as Buddy.  Our local library had Santa come to sing and visit.  I thought it might be remotely good for Kam because we often go to storytime at this location.  Wishful thinking.

Wow.  You are weird...

NOT in a good way... let me go!

Daddy, SAVE ME!

Playing

We had a few playdates throughout the month of November.  I wanted a chance to catch up with friends before the holidays began.  My friend C and her son (born 3 weeks after Kamden) came over.  Sadly, I forgot to capture a picture.  

The next weekend, my friend M brought her two adorable kiddos over to play.  They played quite well together, considering Kamden doesn't play with other kids all that often.
