"Above all else, children need to know and feel they are loved, wanted, and appreciated. They need to be assured of that often. Obviously, this is a role parents should fill, and most often the mother can do it best." ~Ezra Taft Benson

February is National Marfan Awareness Month

My heart was overwhelmed with sorrow and happiness all at the same time this morning after reading my cousin Amber's blog (The McDonald Family). My little cousin Tylar has Marfan syndrome.

Don't know what Marfan Syndrome is? Check out this website to learn more:

I just wanted to HELP in making everyone that looks at our blog aware that February is NATIONAL MARFAN AWARENESS MONTH! Please pass it on!

Milestones~

Kayden amazes me each and every day. When we were down in Monticello he had discovered his tongue and it was funnier than anything I had ever seen. :) He had also started rolling around A LOT more and turning circles. Grandpa Hansen says he is going to be a Nascar driver because he only turns to the left... LOL He had also tried putting his knee's up underneath him while we were down there.

When we first got back to Idaho, Kayden had a little bit of the "stranger anxiety". He wasn't too keen on my mom or dad. And anyone that spoke to him... He would scream. Thank goodness it only took a couple of days for him to get use to them again. He has accomplished getting his knees fully underneath him and rocking back and forth while also trying to lunge forward. HOLY CRAP it is so funny! My little baby boy is going to be crawling before I know it :( He has also been saying mama... IT IS SO STINKING CUTE! Made Kirk jealous that he said mama before he said dada... hahahaha! What can I say he is a mama's boy. Anywho just wanted to give ya'll a little update on how Kayden is doing.

What else can I say other than GETTING HUGE!
