Pizza and Beer!

not our pizza-found this on google-lol

Adam and I have gotten in a pretty good routine and have had Caden to bed each night around 7-8pm.  He has been so good, he just falls right to sleep.  He will usually wake up at 11, 3 and then again at 7am.  It's working really well for us and we've been so blessed to have such a good baby. 

So, while the baby sleeps Adam and I had a pizza and beer night!  Blitz stayed home with Caden and we went out to get food.  Not really...we just made a frozen pizza and had some beer.  Nothing that exciting, but it spruced up my life!  It was kind of like a little date but at home :)

Tummy time

Tummy time is always interesting. Caden is getting stronger and stronger. What's more adorable is that blitz is always next to him supervising his moves.

Small Revelations

As each day goes by there are little moments where I come to new and deeper understanding regarding being a parent. Simple little things like how fun it is to see Caden make a new face or to learn his little patterns of movement. Also, seeing him starting to outgrow his new born clothes already, which lets me know how quickly the time will go. Something today that really made me think about this was when I read a book "I Will Love You Forever" to Caden while Mimi and I got him ready for bed. This book is funny and also kind of creepy with the Mom always creeping into her son's room to watch him sleep and rock him in his sleep. But in the end of the book the son holds his mother and rocks her to sleep when she is old and sick. The son then goes home and holds his child and rocks him to sleep. It just made me think of how my parents have been there for me my entire life and how the love and want to help your child never changes. It also made me think of the fact that my own parents will not always be there for me and I should always appreciate them while they are here. I know these types of moments will happen through out Caden's life, which is just another great part of having the opportunity to be a father.  - Adam

Diaper fun

My mom thought Caden needed something over his changing table to look at for some entertainment and she was right!  The mobiles we found I didn't like and we already have one over his crib so we decided to make one. My mom found some Easter eggs at the store and we put holes in them and hung them from his shelf. He loves them and he has even started smiling at them.   Success!!! Thanks mom! 

Big Boy!

Today we went for Caden's 1 month check up.  He has gained 2lbs since his last visit and now weighs 8.11 and has grown an inch too!  He certainly looks healthy the doctor said and he is doing well!  I can't believe it's been a month.  I can't imagine life before him.  I love our guy.

Hangin out

Caden loves his new jungle gym.  He loves staring at his self in the mirror and likes looking around at all the different toys.  He's starting to want to explore more and will stare at things and look around when you talk to him.  I love just hanging out with him.  It's such a cool experience to not only have a child, but to be there when they are discovering and learning so much about the world.  It's awesome!

First Haircut!

Caden was born with a full set of hair and it is thick, dark brown and long!  Not so much in the front, but in the back a ton.  His hair was growing over his ears and he could put the back end in a little pony tail.  He definitely needed a hair cut.  Grandma gave him his very first one-since we all know she loves playing hair dresser.  He was soo good!  He just kind of sat there while my mom trimmed him up.  He only fussed when we needed to change positions.

He looked very dapper and my mom did a great job at trimming him up.  He looked like a little asain business man after his cut.
