Playtime!

Grandma Frank and Aunt Jen are in town...that means a lot of playtime! We took this first video today when we were looking outside with Caden. He started to do the strangest thing - and it was hilarious. What do you think he is doing?




Here's a video of us playing peekaboo today.



This picture is just too precious...We find Caden in the most interesting positions when he is sleeping...

Caden's First Solid Food

Here's a few pictures and video of Caden having his first solid food - Rice Cereal - this morning. He is Six Months and 12 days old - it was a long time to wait! He is eating a ton now. He will have 8-10 oz of milk at night, and 4 bottles during the day about 6-7 oz each. That probably will go down now that we are introducing cereal and eventually fruits and veggies. (Which is a good thing - although I love my "calorie burn", he is starting to outpace me). :-)





You'll have to turn your volume up a little to hear Caden laughing through his breakfast. :-)

6 Month Birthday and the Fourth of July!

Caden turned over 6 months last week!! It's quite a milestone with some big changes! We went to the doctor today for his checkup and he gave us the green light on solid food! So we will be starting with Rice Cereal on Friday morning. Be on the lookout for some hilarious pictures starting soon! We are also stopping the breathing treatments, which have now lasted for 3.5 months! We are so happy to be done with those (and even more happy that Caden's cough is gone) Hopefully it stays that way!

Caden is so much fun these days - he "talks" A LOT! His new favorite thing is to shriek very loudly. Evidently it's the coolest thing in the world, because ever since he realized he could do it - he does it a lot. :-) He is also getting more mobile by the day. He is starting the first stages of crawling. He is rolling over from his belly to his back, and back over again. He also scoots across the floor laying on his back. We'll get some video soon!

For the Fourth of July weekend we stayed at Joel and Heather's and had a relaxing weekend on the lake! Here are a few pictures:

A fun picture we took right before we headed to the lake:


Caden in his life jacket. He didn't like it, but was a trooper while we were moving on the lake. Once we were anchored in the shallow water of Pontoon Alley, we took it off of him and he was much happier.

Caden and his buddy Jackson!!


A family picture while we waited for the fireworks to start over the lake:


Here is the Six Month Tigger picture!! Caden is now 18 pounds and almost 27 inches!


The second picture is his 5 month picture:


This is his 3 month picture...just for fun to look back 3 months! Our baby sure is growing up fast!

Jeff's visit and a video!

Just a few pictures from the last couple weeks. Jeff came to visit us and meet Caden for the first time over Father's Day weekend! It was so great to see him again!



We put Caden in Matt's Pens Jersey...he still has some growing to do...



Here is a video we took last weekend of us waking Caden up in the morning. He definitely wanted to stay sleeping!
