Caden's First Bath

Last weekend Caden's umbilical cord FINALLY fell off. So after it healed we gave him his first bath on Tuesday evening. There is no question about it that he did NOT like it. Hopefully as he gets older he will enjoy it. My hope is that by this summer he will love water and will be able to enjoy spending time in at the pool! Can it really be THAT bad?

Will the pacifier help????

What a sad face :(

All calmed down and getting ready for bed

Pappy & Grammy Visit

After spending about 16 hours in a plane over the course of 24 hours, Pappy and Grammy arrived to spend two weeks with their first grandson. They claim that even though the trip was long it was definately worth it. They seem to be enjoying spoiling Caden and are already wondering how they will ever be able to leave him after two weeks.

The Trials Begin...

Last night was a rough night. He had been sleeping good and waking up every 4 hours to eat. For some reason last night his diapers kept leaking. This has happened occasionally but it happened 4 times last night. That means 4 outfits in middle of the night. We had been using Pampers but switched to Huggies early this morning since we couldn't figure out why they were leaking. We still leaked through a Huggie but at least we knew why. Apparently switching diaper brands in the middle of the night when your half asleep is not smartest. They are built a little different and we didn't get a good seal around his leg. I guess today we will investigate the mystery of the leaky diapers more. Needless to say all the outfit changes made for a long and cranky night for Caden and us. My day actually started earlier though. I had a few outfit changes myself yesterday. In the morning Kelli had a check up at the doctors. The Dr. also wanted to check Caden's circumcision so after checking it I was putting a clean diaper on him when I was attacked by explosive mustard poop. I was standing back about a foot and half and got hit in my sweatshirt, jeans, and shoes. So I had to baby wipe myself off and head for home to get changed. Then before bed last night, he decided to hit me with explosive spit up. He was laying in my lap and spit up with such force it almost hit me in face. Luckily this accident only cost me another sweatshirt.

Asleep in my swing. Little did we know this would be the most sleep he'd have in a while.
