First Bath

Cute little Caden is a little too big for this bowl!

And seriously, who couldn't love this all natural mo-hawk!?

Check out my new ride!

This is how we roll these days! I'm feeling officially mommish. I added it up, 80 lbs. of fun this thing weighs when it is full (that's got to burn some calories, right?)

We are having so much fun with our chill little Caden.

Caden's new quilt from his Grandma Karen is super cute!

Any Resemblance?

We've been trying to decide if Caden looks like Ethan did when he was a baby.

Here is Ethan:

1 Week Old in March 2008

Here is Caden:

1 Week Old, May 2010

What do you think?

And yes, I love that both of them have socks that coordinate with their animals. I also love that they both have tufts of long thick hair right on the back of their heads that stick straight up!

Sleeping Like a Baby

Doesn't Caden look so peaceful and cute sleeping?

Unfortunately, this is pretty much how he looked all day! Now that it is 11:38 p.m. he is bright eyed and ready to party!

One Week Old

Can't believe it's already been a week since this sweet little boy joined our family. I also can't imagine our family without him already.

Here are a few things I love about Caden at one week:

His adorable baby toes!

He found his thumb!

I love that when I hold him on my shoulder he curls up his legs and arms into a tiny little ball and snuggles his soft little head into my neck!

I love that he already has grown a pair of sideburns better than his Uncle Weston!

I love that he can snooze anywhere and that he cuddles in for naps!

I think it is funny that he is already too big for the newborn Huggies that we bought for him, they just weren't doing the job!

I am amazed how big my 2 year old got in 1 week! He is huge now! He is talking more and has so much personality - he grew up this week a lot!

Memorable Memorial Day

Little Caden had his first outing today. We went to Union Park for a picnic and a ride on the Heritage Carousel.

Sweet Little Guy slept through the whole day!

On our way home Ethan was worn out! Poor Grammy has a tight ride between the 2 carseats now! She has to crawl over the front seat to get back there.

And the highlight of the day: Ethan decided it was time to hold his little brother!

Brotherly Love

So we are making a little progress with Ethan accepting his little brother as part of the family.

(As close as we have to a brother photo at this point)!

Today he gave him a few kisses, but then a little while later he was traumatized when we were changing his diaper. Caden was screaming, Ethan was distraught at the crying and at the umbilical cord ("owee") - he ran inside his closet and closed the door. I asked him where he was going and he said, "home."



While all of us were in the kitchen getting lunch together, Caden was snoozing in the pack n' play in the living room. Ethan was running back and forth playing. After lunch, I looked in the pack n' play and saw this:

Ethan gave his brother his most favorite friend in the world, "Brown Dog," to sleep with. What a good big brother! We were all relieved it wasn't the metal tractor he had been ramming into Clark's foot earlier in the day!

I forgot how much fun it is to have a newborn in the house. This baby is seriously so sweet and chill. He only cries during diaper changes, he is constantly starving - it takes a lot to keep 10 pounds of baby full! Besides having his nights and days reversed he is pretty much perfect. I can't get enough of snuggling this little sweet boy.

(Thanks for the fun hat/package Linda)!

(Thanks for the cute outfit Kri! We thought he looked like a little thug with his hands in his pockets)!
