4 month check-up

Took him in for his check-up. All is well so far. We might have to switch him to a soy based formula. Poor little guy is taking after his dad in the skin/allergy department. He has super dry skin patches(could be eczema- jimmy had that when he was little). They had to switch jimmy to a soy-based formula, and the doc is thinking that Cade might be going through the same ordeal.

We have some new things on our plate. Literally. He has to eat from a spoon EVERY night for dinner. And in 3 weeks he gets to try a fruit!!!!! And in a month we can start giving him water!!! YAY!!! Also, in a month he can have diluted juice from a sippy cup. Only 4 oz a day. which is fine. I don't want him drinking a lot of that anyway.

Today we worked on sitting up and standing. He's pretty strong. I hope he's a quick walker like I was. And if not, no biggie. I want his next trick to be holding his own bottle. So I'm trying to work on that.

Alrighty, off to get SOMETHING done, while he is napping!







peace.

4 months already!!!

I love how he is looking up at Nipper like, "hey you!!!"



wow he has definitely grown!













haha

3...not a chance in hell

Caden hasn't slept through the night in over a week!!! I don't know how people can deal with this!!! It's absolutely EXHAUSTING! And no, I canNOT nap while he is during the day. There is soooo much to get done.

3.....

I don't think so. At this rate, I'm pretty sure I'm getting my tubes tied. {like yesterday} My advice to my friends with no kids: BIRTH CONTROL!!!! Yes, babies are fun and cute, but that's when you can give them back to your friends and go home to yourself. For some it's "rewarding" yeah, they obviously had absolutely NOTHING going on in their lives. For those of you who do even just 1 thing, forget about it. You won't be getting to that until your kids are 22 or older. :/

Sorry, but it's the truth.

Out & About...

just woke up.




suckered in to trying on hats



long week!

1st Rice Cereal Feeding

He did really well, but he did GREAT the 2nd time.



I love the picture on the left and I'm pretty sure he is flicking us off on the right.

4th of july weekend

Caden got to see his first firework show with Michelle, Duane, Nicole, Carey, Molly, & Riley. He did really well and actually watched the show.



He totally reminded me of myself in this picture!
