Dedication

¹³ "For you created my inmost being;
   you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
   your works are wonderful,
   I know that full well."

Psalms 139:13-14

This past Sunday we dedicated Kaden. It was a great ceremony. Mom sang her dedication special, "Masterpiece", and we had a slide show playing while she sang.

 Unfortunately, Grandparents, Great-Grandparents & all were up with us, so we didn't get many photos.

 And we took off so quick after church to get lunch ready for everyone, we didn't even get a family picture.

But, pictures or not, we had a great time. We are so blessed to have Kaden, and thank God every day for choosing us to be his parents. 

My Little Water Baby

We hit the pool again today. Grammy goes back to work on Monday, so she wanted to make sure we went swimming one more time before she had to go back to work. 

 As usual, Kaden enjoyed his time in the sun. It didn't take him long before he was sleeping in his floaty. 

 But first he had to pose for some pictures. Can you tell how thrilled he is? I'm pretty sure he was thinking, "mom, can you put my shade on and let me sleep already?"

 But, we had to get some pictures with Grammy & Aunt Daisy. No pool time would be complete without them. 

 Then we stuck him under the shade and let him be. He was pretty content the whole time. 

 He even sat with Grammy on her raft for a while. But we didn't let him enjoy the ride for too long. It was very hot, and the sun was very bright. Even though he was covered with plenty of sunscreen, I didn't want him out from under his shade for too long.

Today may have been the last pool visit this summer with Grammy & Aunt Daisy. We may squeeze one or two more visits in, but if not, we made today count!!

Projects around the House

 You see that smile? It's a nervous smile because Micah was on his way to Home Depot...with Kaden. Their first outing without mommy. Micah was going to get paint because I had been asking, ok harassing, him to paint the entry and dining area.

   

 So after all the supplies were bought, he went to work.

 I don't have a finished pic yet, I need to get everything back in place and on the walls. But, I really appreciate him doing it! I have the best hubby!!!

3 Months

Stats: We don't go back to the Dr. until 4 months, but our unofficial home weigh in had him just over 13 pounds, and right at 24 inches.

Sleeping Habits? He's officially sleeping through the night. At 10 weeks old he began sleeping all night. He goes anywhere from 8-10 hours at night. Sometimes, he wakes up and I can just stick his pacifier in his mouth. He usually wakes up anywhere from 8-10 in the morning. 

Eating Habits? He usually eats every 4 hours. If we're out running errands, he'll go longer. But, I try not to make him wait too long. Dr. said we'll discuss starting baby food at his 4 month check-up.

New tricks? He is all smiles, and now he's starting to giggle a little when he's tickled or mommy makes really silly faces. I think he's starting to discover his voice. He'll make noises like he's trying to talk. He's so cute cause you can tell he surprises himself when he makes a noise sometimes. He's very strong, and can just about hold his head up without help. He's so close to rolling over. I think it'll be any day! He's starting to enjoy his toys more. He's starting to try to reach for toys. He'll grab them if I put them in his ands. He's a thumb (and finger sucker). His hands are always in his mouth. 

Doctor Visits? Not again until 4 months.

General Observations?  The fussiness that started in the evenings around week 6 is starting to fade. He's getting better about not having to be with mommy only. He's a growing boy. We've put away the 0-3 pajamas, and brought out the 3-6 months. He can still fit some 0-3 outfits, but he's in mostly 3 months. We're well on our way to 3-6 months. We introduced him to the pool. He loves it as much as bath time!!

 We're loving watching our little man grow!!

Wordless Wednesday

Cool Dude!

Today around 5 pm, Kaden started getting fussy.  He's been doing a lot better in the evenings, but he was starting to get fussy this afternoon.  Our friend Stacey is in from Oklahoma for the weekend, and we had been talking about going to the pool all day.  I know how much Kaden enjoys the pool, so we decided to load up and walk over.  Like always, it did the trick.  He was a little fussy when we first got there, and took about a 10 min. power nap. After that, we hung out in the pool and he was perfectly content. I love my little water baby!!
