3 Months

Caden turned three months old last week.  We didn't have a 3 mo dr appt, but I tried to measure him at home.  I think he's 24 1/2" long & 15 lbs.  He's getting so big; you would never know by looking at him now that we were worried about his weight gain at 1 month.

I decided not to have professional pictures taken at 3 months; I'm just going to wait until 6 months.  But I decided to try to play photographer at home and I took some of the following pictures.  I took this one for Brian.  I think it'll be fun to take a picture of him on this blanket every few months. 

Oh, how he's grown...

My Aunt, Uncle, and cousin were in town last week.  Here's a picture of Caden with Alice & Christy.

I finally got a picture of Caden in his Baylor outfit.

He's really starting to drool a lot.  It didn't take long for his shirt to get this wet.  I'm going to have to start leaving a bib on him more often.

Swimming and Laughing

Caden took his first dip in the pool today. He doesn't look terribly thrilled in these pictures, but I think he liked it. We just put his legs in; he was getting tired and it was close to nap time, so we didn't push our luck too much.

Here's a tummy time picture from this week.

I had a meeting up at work, so Caden got to visit Daddy at work again this past week.  I decked him out in Longhorn attire for Brian.

He started laughing a week or so ago, but I hadn't been able to catch him with the video camera.  He doesn't seem to want to laugh when I'm holding the camera in front of him, so today I was talking to him trying to get him to laugh while Brian taped him from the side.

11 Weeks

I took several videos last week. He really loves taking baths. Here's a short video I took at the end of one of his baths.

He really likes tummy time (most of the time). His neck and back are getting so strong. Here's a video of some tummy time this past week.

We pulled out his bumbo chair last week to see if he is ready for it. He's a little wobbly in it, but he does really well considering he's just 2 1/2 months. Here's a pic in his chair. As you can see, he has quite the double chin :).

And a video in his chair.

10 weeks

The big news in our family is that I spoke with my boss on Friday and told him that I did not want to return to work full time. The thought of spending 40+ hours a week away from Caden brings me to tears. I have requested to work two days a week (Mon & Wed). They were very receptive of the idea, but HR still has to approve the situation. I'm sure we'll take it month by month; as it may not work long term for Hunt or myself. But I'm so excited that I don't have to go back full time at all!

We had a nice Monday today with Brian home. I packed up all of Caden's newborn and 3 month size clothing today; I can't believe he's completely outgrown them. It was funny looking at how tiny a few of the newborn outfits that he wore the first week are. I can't believe he actually fit into them.

Here's a picture of Caden in his monkey towel after a bath about a week ago.

Here are a few pictures from today. This bib was a gift; it's kind of funny looking b/c it completely swallows him.

These duck PJ's were a gift. Of course, I had to take a picture of him next to his duck! He thought it was funny (probably because Mommy was cracking up)!

Here's a video of him mostly just grunting (with a little bit of oohing & ahhing).
