6 Months Old

Okay, so it's been awhile since I posted any pictures.
Thought it was about time so here are some recent
ones of him. He hasn't had his 6 month checkup yet
so I'm not sure on his height and weight. I'll have to
post that later. It's just hard to believe he's already
six months old. It has gone by way too fast!

Just chillin in his highchair. He is getting his two
bottom teeth so this blue teether comes in handy.
One tooth has already popped through so he's
been a little fussy lately.

He's also sitting up pretty good by himself
most of the time, but does tip over sometimes.

This was all Allison's idea. She sometimes climbs
in his crib after he wakes up from his nap so this
is how I found them........oh boy!

What is my sister doing to me?

Big sister Al.......I wonder what
she'll come up with next!?

Boating & Caden Rolling Over

From left to right Ashley, Benjamin, Chloe, Allison, Lily, Jack, Bryce, Brady, & Caden

We went boating last weekend with Josh & Shelly,
John & Julie, & all their kiddos. We had a great time!
Every year we try to get a picture of all the cousins
on the beach. We seem to add someone new every
couple years! Caden is on a towel at the end!

He loves his tummy time

4 Months Old

Our little boy is 4 months old already. It's so hard
to believe.....it goes by way too quickly.

He had is wellness checkup this past week and he
now weighs in at 15 lbs. 9 oz. and is 26 1/2 inches.

That puts him in the 50th percentile for his weight
and the 90-95th percentile for his height. Doc said
he's long and lean! Sounds like his Daddy! That a boy!

Family Picture

Just in case you are wondering here are some things about Caden:

• smiles most of the time
• laughs out loud, screams, and squeels
• has his fingers or fists in his mouth most of the time
• grabs his toes when laying down and puts them in his mouth
• loves his blankies
• rolls over from tummy to back
• rolls over from back to tummy, but we have yet to see (he did it when I walked out of the room)
• takes a pacifier, but sometimes sucks his thumb too
• loves watching the dogs and sometimes laughs at them
• goes in his Johnny Jumper
  
• reaches for things (one day Kirk had him on his lap while he was eating breakfast and Caden grabed his bowl and got cereal all over both of them!)
  

First Time Eating Cereal

The pediatrician said we could start giving Caden cereal. So
here's the first attempt at it. He definitely knew it wasn't breastmilk.

What is this stuff anyway?

Happy boy!

1st Day of School

Allison is in second grade now! I can't
believe it........it goes by way too fast. Here
are some pictures on her first day of school.

Miscellaneous Pics

Big sis Allison & little bro Caden sharing some couch time

He loves his fingers

Just chillin' in the bath tub

One morning he woke up like this with crazy hair

so I just couldn't resist taking some pictures. The

reason for his crazy hair is that I did not brush it

the night before after he had his bath because he

was really fussy and wanted to go right to bed! He

has so much hair! We just love it!

Big Boy Caden

Here is Caden in his Bumbo seat! He really loves it.
He is almost 3 months old now. We can't believe how fast
he's growing. At his two month check up he weighed in
at 13 lbs 8 oz and was 24 1/2 inches long. He was in the
90th percentile for weight and 95th percentile for height. I
think he'll be tall like his Daddy! What do you think? We
enjoy him so much. It's neat because it seems like every
day he's doing something different. He started sleeping
through the night around 7 weeks. He goes to bed around
9:30ish and wakes up anywhere between 4 and 5ish in the
morning. What a difference that makes in how I feel. The first
time he did that I felt like a new woman! Now during the day
it's a different story. He's not much of a napper, but that's ok.
I'd rather him sleep at night more than anything. I'll take what I can!
