Kaden 1 Month



Age:  1 Month

Milestones:  Starting to hold your head up more and getting on a solid eat, play, sleep schedule.

Sleep: Right now your last feeding of the night is around 9:30/10:oo and you normally sleep till 2:30/3:00.  Then you wake up around 5:30/6:00 and then 8:30/9:00

Best Moment:  All moments are great and your so sweet and love to smile.

Worst Moment: Worst moment this week was when mommy tried to take you and Kipton to pick up our Christmas cards from Walmart.  Let's just say they mixed up my pictures and I had to go back later because the lost/shredded/or hadn't printed them.  They didn't even know what happened.  I ended up getting a refund because I think the lady felt sorry for the crying, post-pardum lady holding a hungry 4 week old baby with a sick 3 year old in the cart saying "mommy I want to go home".  A VERY big fiasco.

Eating:  Eating every 2 1/5 - 3 hours during the day.

Extra comments: Here's what you've been doing the past week.
-You are starting to recognize my voice and my face and smile when you see mommy, daddy, and Kipton.
-You watched your first Iron Bowl this year. . . we won't talk about the outcome.
-We went to Supper with Santa.  Kipton really enjoyed himself and you slept through the whole thing.  Kipton actually sat next to Santa and told him what he wanted for Christmas.  That was a big surprise for mommy and daddy.  Kipton is asking for some construction trucks and workers.
-You are very alert now and are consitently staying awake after you eat to play for a while before you just fall asleep like you've been doing in the past.
-Went to church for the first time on a Wednesday night.  You had to eat as soon as we got there, so we didn't actually go to class but we were there!
-You seem to love tummy-time and are always cooing and ooing when you get to play.
-We actually figured out who you look like.  Up until now we've all been saying that we couldn't quite figure out who you looked like and finally we realized it's me!  We looked at baby pictures of me and we look VERY much alike.  I think everyone was so shocked that you didn't look like Matt and the fact that your a boy no one thought about you favoring a girl.  (because your a cute little boy) ;)    But you most definitely look like your mommy and poppy.

 Grammy with the Boys

Age:  3 Weeks

Height, Weight, & Head:
won't know these things until January at your 2 month appointment

Sleep: Now sleeping on average between 4-5 hours at night.  Mommy is so proud of you.

Best Moment: You being such a good boy when I took you out with big brother

Worst Moment: Not necessarily one particular time, but it's difficult when you are screaming out of hunger and brother needs me too.  For instance, in the morning when Kipton is ready to get up and says he needs to go potty, all the while you are screaming at the top of your lungs telling me your ready to eat.  Haven't quite mastered that issue just yet.

Health: still congested, but other than that your great!

Eating: Still eating every 2.5 - 3 hours during the day

Extra Comments & Things you like to do:
-We had our first outing with just mommy, big brother, and Kaden.  We met Mollie and Christine at Up a Creek (what Kipton calls his big gym) for a playdate.  I fed you before we left and you slept most of the time.  But I fed you while we were at the gym and afterwards you just laid down and played on your mat.  Such a good boy!  The only hiccup was that Kipon got a little hot and worked up because he hurt his toe and threw up some red cool-aid he had just drank.  Good thing mommy was prepared with extra clothes.  ;)
-We also went to Disney on Ice with the family and grammy.  It was a lot of fun.  Kipton enjoyed seeing Buzz and Woody, and Captain Hook.  I fed you right when the show started and then you stayed up and played for a little while.  Then you slept in daddy's arms the rest of the show. 
-You slept for 5 hours one night and mommy was so happy, but delirious when she woke up and realized it had been 5 hours. 
-You like sucking your hand and are always trying to "grab" things with your fist, such as your paci
-Speaking of paci's, you've really taken a liking to yours, but I think your going to be a thumb sucker like your big brother.
-You really like tummy time and laying on a blanket to stretch your legs.
-We celebrated daddy's 29th birthday and you and Kipton made a precious card for him.
-You had your first holiday, Thanksgiving
