A look back at 2008...

I figured I would do a post to show our travel through the year 2008. It is a long one so if you need to go to the restroom, go now before you start.

Enjoy!



~JANUARY~

Casey is not sniffin the diaper she is eating it. It is melted chocolate candy. The game is to guess what candy is in the diaper.
Me trying to figure it out. Check out Grace vidotaping. Her mom Renee is in the background.
Someone may need to help out Grace. It looks heavy.
Baby blanket my grandmother made.
Towel my grandmother made and had someone stitch bath time on it.




~FEBRUARY~

2 nights before I had Cayden
Feb. 4, 2008
Just arriving at the hospital
Look at that hair. I was so scared that he had my mom's kinky hair. Nurse it cleaning him up.
About 2 hours after he was born
My first time getting to hold him
Mamaw Betty and Cayden...1 day old
Good pain pills...can't you tell
Just arriving home from the hospital
Ashley and Cayden
Chase's first time seeing Cayden
Mamaw Donna and Cayden (Bill's mother)
Phillip's first time holding Cayden
First outing out of the house...about 1 week old

~MARCH~

Sleeping is all he did at this age.
Perfect all the time!
Cayden's first snow! Its is snowing but you can't see it.
Poor Foxy....not the baby anymore.
Cayden and Nana
Ooooh...had to put this one on here. Dad said he could kiss his kids anytime he wanted to kiss them. Phillip did not want a kiss as you can tell. And dad went to get a quick peck and I snapped at just the right time.
Nana getting her some Cayden lovin.
Easter time! I was sorting through Easter stuff and wanted see what they looked like. Hence the tag still on the bunny ears.
Cayden
First time Lindsey stayed over after Cayden was born.




~APRIL~


It is hard to believe Cayden was ever that small. That is newborn clothes he is wearing.
This picture is of Cayden when he looked like a Bennett. Didn't have the big ole Bill Warren head.
First bath after umbilical cord fell off.
I still use the boppy pillow when I feed him a bottle.
cute picture....looks like Jim Bennett
Me and Cayden in the background
Oh No! It is Phillip in his long hair days. Mom and I were so happy when he cut it.
Bill's Birthday...we had a shrimp boil. This is when mom was coming down to my house twice during the week after work. I love this picture of Cayden with his 2 grandmothers.
Hey Randy, is the shrimp HOT?
Introducing my two neices....Miss Dolly and Miss Junk-in-her-trunk.


~MAY~
This was our poo-poo mishap. I could not move and mom and dad were in the backyard. I was screaming HELP! HELP! They finally came to the rescue.
Just a picture taken in my bedroom
Bill's boat that we bought last year
Bill and Cayden in the boat
Mamaw Betty and Cayden on Memorial Day!
I think he played too hard
This is dad showing my how he was going to pick his cucumbers when they climbed up the wire. He looked more like he was milking a cow. I laughed so hard at him that day.
Kristi and Cayden....Kristi is my first cousin
Lynda and Cayden
D-Dub and Cayden



~JUNE~
Didn't do much at this age but just lay there
Shorts look weird but still a good picture
At the sandbar...Randy and Lindsey playing in the sand.
Chase on the tube
First thing in the morning. Cayden looks much better than me in the morning. He is a morning person and ready to go, me not so much!
Look at that sleeping position. Ahh, the days when he couldn't roll off the couch. Man I miss those days.
Cayden looks bald but he has white hair at this time
Me and Dad swimming in the pool.
Look how little.
Renee and Chloe skating as Zac's Birthday party.



~JULY~
Cayden playing
Cayden crying while eating. I know I am horrible. It was the first time he had rice cerael and I was trying to get a picture.
That was Cayden's favorite toy at that time. Now he hardly plays with it. Bigger and better toys now.
Cute
Tuckered out.



~AUGUST~
Can you read Cayden's shirt. It says Grandpa's little sidekick. Some of these may be a repeat from an earlier post. But I am trying to pick pictures that have never been seen. However, I am not going back to check. Sorry, if they are repeats.
Cayden kicked back
Cayden and Papaw
What? Cayden already knows I am the bomb.
My new truck I got in August.


~SEPTEMBER~
Chase and Cayden
Cayden playing in his frog pajamas.
I guess I didn't take many pictures in September.



~OCTOBER~
Look his hair is finally starting to grow back.
Cayden sitting in the Sterlington fire truck. This picture was taken at the company picnic.
My birthday cake that my neice and nephew made me.
Cayden loves chocolate
Company picnic. All the leaders having a pumpkin race. That is my old boss Brian on the left. My new boss in Darrell on the right. He won the race. And my first boss at Angus was Ernest in the middle with the black shirt on.
Bill's doe he killed
This is me ready to go out with Bill to the fight at the Civic Center. We went to go watch Mike fight and as a bonus I got an A for my midterm in Self Defense. Mike did win his fight and Bill and I had a great time. Cayden stayed his first overnight with Nana and Papaw. It was the first night I was not with him. It was weird coming home to no Cayden. We recently let Cayden stay his second overnight with Nana and Papaw. Bill and I went to Vicksburg to get a TWIC card for his job and ended up stopping at the Casino (we lost money). But Mrs. Donna had said she would let Chase spend the night so Bill said call Nana and see if she will keep Cayden. And after much arm twisting and begging she agreed. Yeah right, she jumped at the chance. So me and Bill had a night with no kids.
Cayden in his halloween costume. He was a scary lion. Okay not so scary, CUTE is the word I am looking for.
This is Aunt Renee, Grace (on the right), Chloe (on the left) and Cayden. This was during our trick-or-treating.
This is the end of our night and pajamas went on and ring pop went in. He sucked it like a pacifer.


~NOVEMBER~
Little munchin off Wizard of Oz. Bath time at Nana and Papaw's.
My dad play house husband. This is his job now that he is retired.
Cayden's first fire in the fireplace.
Nana and Cayden
I like seafood. Get it "see food" okay bad joke from my childhood.
See my little boy knows how to share. Here daddy you have a bite.
This is Bill trying to look like Ron White the comedian.
Well hello there Cayden
Bill after eating all day on Thanksgiving.
Cayden and Mamaw Donna checking out the Christmas lights.



~DECEMBER~
I love this picture of Cayden. It is so cute.
This was our Christmas tree this year. I was still wrapping presents before we would leave to go to where we were opening them. I had a hard time trying to find time to wrap with Cayden around. We stopped by the house on the way back from my mom and dad's and I wrapped Lindsey's present. Less than an hour later she opened it. Horrible huh?
This is 2 out of the 3 most important men in my life. Bill is on the left, my dad on the right.
Bill and Cayden horse playing on Christmas Eve.
Just to end with a beuatiful picture of the number 1 man in my life!
Just thought it would be fun to look back at the year and to see how much Cayden has grown. It has been a crazy year that went by way too fast. It was the best year of my life so far. All I can try to do is top it next year. I have a feeling this year will always hod a special place in my heart.
Love to all,
Linzay
