So, three months ago this amazingly awesome little love bug came into the world and changed our family forever.
This is Kaden Michael, my as-of-today three-month-old nephew. He lives in Las Vegas with his mom, my little sister Kari, and his dad Lorenzo. And I have been extremely remiss in documenting his amazingness here. But I am going to let myself off the hook for lack of baby blogging because I've been too busy hanging out with him whenever I can, showing off photos of his cuteness to anybody and everybody, and spoiling him with cute outfits and musical sing-along play mats. (I also hereby freely admit that his first Christmas and first Birthday gifts are already purchased and stashed in my guest room.)
I've been a pseudo-auntie to a few (well at least 7) of my friends' kids over the last 12 years, and I love those kids a lot, but it's nothing like what I feel for Kaden. I've started driving four hours through the desert just so I can sit on the sofa and hold him. When my sister texts a new photo of him, it immediately brightens my day. When he gets fussy on Facetime, I want to go to him and comfort him. And I am already planning for his first LA Kings game in the 2020-2021 season when he's four. (He, of course, already has a Kings onesie and a Bailey binkie, but by then he will have a kids-size Drew Doughty or Anze Kopitar jersey. He may live in Vegas and they may be getting a hockey team next year, but he it going to be raised a Kings fan and will understand icing before his 8th birthday... mark my words. )
Here are a few of my favorite of the 125+ photos and videos I have of him on my phone. We're so lucky to have this little guy in our lives now :)
