2 months old






I can't believe that Caden is almost 2 months old! Although the nights have been rather long, the last two months have flown by. So far, Caden is a rather easy going baby with a sweet personality. He only cries when he is hungry or super tired. He is awake more and more each day and enjoys watching his big sister. He is growing like a champ, weighing in at 11.5 pounds and 23 inches long (up from 6.5 pounds and 20 inches at birth). He loves to eat and sleep...pretty typical for a baby! We got our first true smile last week and even some sweet baby noises--melted my heart!

Big sister, Addie, loves loves loves Caden!! When he is sad, she will comfort him and tell him that "it is okay, mommmy is coming"! She likes to hold him, show him her drawings of rainbows, sing to him, and run around the house for him. She is quite the entertainer. It hasn't been all fun and games though. When Caden was 3 weeks old, the Binkie Fairy visited our house and rocked Addie's world. She was in love with her binkie, so to have it taken away was not so pretty. She didn't want to sleep anymore and she was throwing lots of tantrums. Luckily, that stage has passed and she is back to her happy, loving self! Thankfully, because I was about to go crazy!

We have some visitors coming next week (Grandma Cindy, Grandpa Bill and Uncle Dan), which we are very excited about. And of course we are excited for summer time!!
