Another no photo day.  Had to head into town for errands and appointments.  Kadin was sick so we had to cancel daycare and he helped Danial do some electrical work on the new house but no documention of it. 

This photo is one a client took of us a couple of days later.

I had to bring Rivet into Wasilla for a tooth abscess and Kadin spent the day at day care so although I have pictures of Rivet, I didn't get one of Kadin today.  The one posted is from yesterday, the 28th of June. 

Drilling her infected premolar.

Doped up doggie recovering from anesthesia.  She'll be so much happier with that nasty tooth gone!

I swear I don't treat my child like a cat!  He finds the cat toys and plays with them all on his own, ignoring all the nice baby toys I have for him.

Yet again, no photo today, but here's one from the evening of my birthday, going out for a little walk, wine in the mug, hoping he'll go to sleep soon.

June 10, 2015 - 10 Months, 27 Days Old

Another day I didn't get a photo.  No excuse; but here's a cutie from 2 days ago as he is learning to drink his formula from a cup instead of a bottle — milk moustache!

Not even sure what I did today, but no pictures were taken.  Oops.  Not every day can be exciting.  These two shots are from the next day, featuring Kadin on the mandolin and guitar.  My little musician.

The only photos I took today were of a mama bird and her three little fledgelings following her around, watching her pick through the spruce cones.  Poor Kadin didn't get a photo today.  But that's ok, I have more than enough others to fill in for me…
Here are two more from our day in Wasilla…

May 18, 2015 - 10 Months, 4 Days Old

Yet again, I didn't get a picture today, but these two are from the next day — just a quiet morning playing at the house.

May 14, 2015 - 10 Months Old!

Kadin was coming down with a cold today so we laid low at the house and then took a mellow walk in the evening with Danial.  Forgot to snap a photo, but that's ok because I've been wanting an excuse to post these from a few days back…

Guess if I'm hungry, I can just help myself!  Tastes just as good without the water…

Oh, Hi Mama, this is ok with you, right?

Today was a day full of unaccomplished errands and by the afternoon, we were both grump-pots so no photo was taken.  However, here are a couple of fun photos from earlier in the week of Kadin begging for treats along with his brothers and sisters!

Kadin is thinking… That looks fun!  Can I have one?

Awww, come on, please… I'm sitting, just like everybody else!

April 24, 2015 - 9 Months, 10 Days Old

Oh well, I forgot to take a photo again today… here's one from a few days ago.

Kadin, our future EMT or firefighter!

March 31, 2015 - 8 Months, 17 Days Old

Ooops, no photo today, but here is one from the 26th, of Kadin sitting in the new vet clinic!

March 8, 2015 - 7 Months 22 Days Old

The day before my flight, busy packing and organizing.  Danial was feeling sick from a cold so we laid low at home and enjoyed a quiet family day.  I was so busy packing, oops, forgot to take a picture again.  Here is one from the next day on the airplane... 

March 5, 2015 - 7 Months 19 Days Old

Ooops.  No photo taken today, so here is one from a few weeks back (02/17/14)... using his feet to keep his bottle up in the air!

March 2, 2015 - 7 Months 16 Days Old

I drove down to Anchorage early this morning for 4 DAYS of vet work, without my little man... I already miss him so much! 

No pictures.

I was busy working the whole night through, examining dog teams as they came in to the checkpoint.  Was up from 7am Saturday through 8pm Sunday without rest!  And it was still -15ºF or so.  Needless to say, I didn't get a single photo, not of the race, nor of Kadin.  Oh well. 

The cute photo of Kadin sitting is from January the 30th.

January 26, 2015 - 6 Months 12 Days Old

I didn't get any good photos for today so here are two from this past week that didn't make the first cut.  They are still awfully cute...

Awwww.... It's looks like this that every mother yearns for... although he is probably just trying to grab my lip ring!

Trying to inspire him to crawl... Got to love those expressive eyebrows!

January 20, 2015 - 6 Months 6 Days Old

I didn't take any decent pictures today (the ones I took weren't indecent, just poor exposure and grainy), but... I just received the family pictures we had taken back in mid-December.  They were a benefit shoot and were supposed to be with Santa, but we were a few minutes late and he had already left...

December 14, 2014 - 5 Months Old!!

Happy 5 Month Birthday Kadin!  Crazy how fast time flies with a baby growing in front of your eyes...
If I had to predict his adult personality based on his infancy so far, I would say he will be an easy-going guy who smiles and laughs a lot, prefers standing to sitting, is a bit of a talker, and loves to eat.  :-)

Big day out for Kadin - the whole family of 4 dogs and the 3 of us biked downtown to have our photo taken with Santa.  We unfortunately arrived a bit too late for Santa but had some family pictures taken anyway...  Then we biked out to the XY Lakes and the dogs enjoyed a bit of free running while Kadin mostly slept.  Fun day, but somehow, other than the non-Santa photos, I didn't take any of my own pictures!  Ooops.  I'll have to check Danial's camera too, but for now, here are two from yesterday with his teething toy, Kathe Kruse.

December 1, 2014 - 4 Months, 17 Days

Another day where the only photo we took was the one of Eleanor in her favorite sleeping spot - Kadin's changing table!   

This photo is from a few days later.  I just love it when he falls asleep while I'm holding him.

November 16, 2014 - 4 Months, 2 Days

Back in Alaska, and I already forgot to take a picture today.  These two are from the morning of the 17th instead.  Kadin and his favorite toy, "Horton, el elefante azul".
