Almost 4 Months Old...

Caden has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday for his 4-month check-up so we'll have official stats then, but here are his "unofficial" 3.5 month old stats -

Length: 27 inches
Weight: 16.5 pounds

He's learning new things all the time...he's rolled over from his tummy to his back several times; he's trying to mimic us by sticking his tongue out through his lips and saying "mmm"; he laughed, like really laughed last night when he was playing with JJ (our dog) and he's always talking more and more and learning new sounds. He even practices those new sounds at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning! :) Yep, that's right, sometimes he wakes me up with his "ahhs" and "oohs" in the middle of the night.

It's so fun watching him grow, we absolutely love it!

Here are some more pictures of him -

Saturday Stroll

Went to the farmers market and then to the cafe...Caden was good the
whole time! Even though it wasn't super sunny it was still nice to be
outside.

2 Months Old

Caden turned 2 months old this week and with it came the following…

Doctor and Shots…
On Monday we took him to the doctor for his 2 month checkup and his first round of immunization shots. Everything was going well and we had a happy baby until the doctor stripped him down and started poking him and then he was really pushed over the edge when the nurse gave him his shots. It was soooo sad and broke our hearts! Now we know what his “I’m in pain” cry sounds like….poor little guy!

Here are his stats:
Height - 24.5 inches (96th percentile)
Weight - 13lb 7.5oz (92nd percentile)
Head - 16.26 inches (86th percentile)

Sleeping through the night…
Last night marked another milestone for Caden because he slept through the night – yay! I fed him at 10 o’clock and then woke him up at 6:30 this morning to feed him again. He didn’t go to sleep right after I fed him at 10pm but settled in around midnight and slept until 6:30am. It’s hard to believe that he’s already 8 ½ weeks old because I’m not really sure where the time has gone!!! I’m heading back to work on the 22nd of this month so I’m taking in as much as I can right now….

We’re so happy and blessed to have such a healthy, smiley baby boy!

Baby at the Beach

We took Caden to the beach over Memorial Day weekend and had a great time! I wasn’t sure how he would do being away from home that long and was a little nervous to take him BUT he did a great job.

We met up with friends at Hug Point for a few hours, walked around Cannon Beach for awhile and then stopped at Camp 18 for dinner on the way home and thankfully Caden slept or was happy for most of the time.

Here are some pictures of the group and Caden with his cool shades, poor child!

First Bath

Last week was Caden's first real bath. He's had several more since then but Im just now getting around to posting some pictures. At first he didnt seem to like it, I think the water was a little cold or something...but soon enough he realized it wasnt that bad and seemed to enjoy himself.
