Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden!

5 years ago we welcomed our first son, Kaiden Sterling Davaul into this world on July 16, 2005. He was 5 lbs. 11 oz. and had a scream like a pterodactyl. The week before I had Kaiden I was sent to a High Risk OB doctor because the amniotic fluid had decreased rapidly which could result in death of the baby. I was induced 3 1/2 weeks early and delivered a perfectly healthy baby boy. Thank God for ultrasounds because without them this detail would have gone unnoticed. I had several ultrasounds throughout my pregnancy because they were concerned about the size of Kaiden since he was so small. If you look at Kaiden today he may be small but he is incredibly strong and has amazing coordination, . Since Kaiden came early, Nick was still over in Egypt for work and was unable to be there for the birth of Kaiden. Thankfully I was in the hospital with my parents by my side. I could not have done it without them since I was not able to have my husband with me.

Friday, July 16, 2010 Kaiden Sterling Davaul turned 5 years old!!!! Our baby is growing up so fast and is turning into a boy and is not a baby anymore. Kaiden is full of energy, has a loving and kind heart, artistic, smart, strong willed, very inquisitive about how things work, and can run super fast like a cheetah!

Kaiden is really into Transformers and loves Bumblebee. Transformers use to be Nick's favorite show when he was a kid and he kind of got him started on liking Bumblebee. So for his birthday he was smothered with everything Bumblebee! We surprised him by changing his sheets, blanket and PJ's decked out in Bumblebee of course in the middle of the night while he was sleeping. He woke up to his new bed and was super excited. He came running into our room and was talking so fast about all the Bumblebee stuff on his bed and was trying to figure out how it all happened. When I asked him he said that it was "magic." :)

Can you tell that he was HAPPY to wake up with his new bedding and PJ's. He even has on Bumblebee underwear!

Zachary really likes Bumblebee too and every time we see a yellow car on the road he has to yell it out, "My Bumbabee". It has gotten so bad that he sometimes only wants to wear a yellow shirt cause he thinks it is Bumblebee. The only problem is that we only have 1 yellow shirt that he will wear. LOL So I could not get Kaiden PJ's without getting Zachary matching ones. He wore that shirt ALL day!

For breakfast we had special Mickey Mouse blueberry pancakes and sang Happy Birthday to Kaiden. He ate ALL of it!!

Of course Zachary wanted a candle in his pancake too, so we sang Happy non birthday to Zachary to make him feel special too.

Showing off his new flippers to help him swim faster!

He was super excited about his Bumblebee shoes, plus they light up!!

Showing off "some" of his presents. He also got a Bumblebee backpack, lunch box, and dont forget the sheets and blanket!

Flying Bumblebee!!! The PJ's came with two sets and I have a feeling we will be wearing these a lot!

Anyone ready to go snorkeling??? Kaiden is showing off his new snorkel and flippers. Now all he needs is a snorkel mask and he will be good to go!

The handsome Davaul boys all snuggled up.
