Trick or Treat

Which College???

Hello everyone. It has been a long time since my last post but now that I have a few days of vacation I felt that it was appropriate that I throw my voice into the mix of Ashley's wonderful posts. Since June 29, life can be best explained as "busy". I would like to clarify that I could not be happier with my family (mainly my wonderful wife). Caden is doing great and developing so quickly. Ashley and I both recently looked at some of her newborn photos and are so amazed by how much she has grown.

But anyway the true reason that I am posting something with the title "Which College???" is because I have two great brothers that are going to be crazy/fun/wonderful uncles and they both have sent college apparel for Caden to wear. Matthew attends A&M and Mark attends Notre Dame. Thank you both very much for your gifts to Caden. We will continue to get pictures of Caden on this blog for those who can't be here in person.

Mommy Talk

I don't know how I ever get anything done during the day. I could play and talk to her all day long. I love the way she looks so intently at me when I talk to her and make goofy faces. It makes my heart melt when she smiles at something I do or say. Then she "talks" back.....oh, words can't express emotions well enough.

Our Angel

I couldn't resist taking her picture in this outfit. She's growing so fast, I feel the need to photograph her in all her cute outfits because she will only wear them for a short time. Aren't her eyes the most beautiful eyes you have ever seen?

Daddy, aka Jungle Gym

Caden loves to sit and/or stand up, A LOT. She is perpetual motion :) No surprise after how active she was while I was pregnant.

Tummy Time

Exercise time!! Caden doesn't always enjoy tummy time, but occasionally she's in the mood. The most common mood killer is spit up. She's getting strong though and wants to be mobile so badly. She has started to push herself along with her toes.

2 Months Already

My how time has been flying by!! Caden is already 2 months old!! Everything was very good at her last doctor's appointment. She now measures 23 inches long and weighs 11 lbs. 2 oz.

She is so much fun. She loves to talk to us and tries to mimic sounds and faces we make (if I stick out my tongue, she does the same and then smiles about it). I am so blessed that I have been able to spend so much time with her. I have started substitute teaching at most two days a week. I schedule it on the days Jon has off work so he can stay at home with Caden. He really looks forward to those days.

Caden has also been sleeping through the night since September 5. She usually wants to go to bed around 9 pm and sleeps until about 7:30 or 8:00 am. It has been wonderful!! She even wakes up talking to herself and gets so excited when I go to get her in the morning.

Caden hasn't rolled over by herself yet, but she's working on it. She has even been making motions with her legs like she is trying to crawl. I told her she can't learn to crawl until she rolls over first :)
