Finally meeting Brodie

Caden and I headed for Cottonwood on Friday evening to meet the new cousin. We got to Cottonwood around 9:00 and mom had Cole in bed but he heard us and was yelling for Caden from the bedroom. So, Cole got to get up and they played for about an hour and then headed off for bed. Saturday morning I headed for Lewiston to get a much needed hair color and cut. I got back to Cottonwood around 1:00 and pretty much held Brodie the afternoon. He is so cute and tiny - I am ready for mine to arrive. Caden absolutely fell in love with Brodie. When we got there he gave him hugs and kisses - Kristin was really good about it. On Saturday I let Caden hold Brodie and he held him for almost 5 minutes. He took out his pacifier...gave him a kiss...and then put the pacifier back in his mouth. He got to help me feed him and burp him. He is going to be a great big brother and very helpful. When my mom asked him what was in my belly he told her it was his sister...he came over...lifted up my shirt...and poked his finger in my belly button and said that was where she was...everyone got a laugh out of that. Cole and Caden got to make cookies with aunt Karel on Saturday after nap time - they enjoyed that. You might not want to eat them if you knew all the fingers being licked:) They got to ride bikes and boy does Cole have an imagination. He told us that his Datsun pickup (like daddies) got stuck in the mud (because Riley did) and that mader pulled him out - it was so funny. Caden and Cole found a box of old doll clothes and insisted on wearing them. Caden has on a pink dress and Cole is wearing bloomers - they were pretty silly. Finn did his own thing, crawling everywhere and putting whatever he could find into his mouth. He got upset a couple times when we were feeding Brodie and he wanted his bottle. Finn loves food!
