We're getting the hang of it!!

We've been working really hard this past month to feed ourself. I think it is so amazing that babies just teach themselves how to do this....I haven't had to show him a single time how to hold his bottle. He even tries to grab the spoon and feed himself when we are eating our veggies!! :)

*If you saw the huge scab on his ear and was wondering what that was about, he somehow scratched the inside of his little ear with what little finger nails he has...I can never seem to trim them down far enough.

I'ma Slackin'

Momma's been a slackin' on getting these pictures up...I apologize!!

Two weeks ago (that's right, two weeks) we decided to go with daddy to Platte County to visit all the nice people in the assessor and collector's office at the court house. Everyone was super nice and Kaden just loved all the attention!! Thanks for the hospitality everyone!! We had a great time!!

After daddy got off work there, we decided to go to the new shopping center, Zona Rosa. It is a really cool place to go shopping if you haven't ever been there. While there, we ran into a baby gap (they took our gap away at Battlefield) and we ran into a HUGE sale!! So here is a preview of what we got Mr. Kaden for the winter season!! I think he is adorable!!

This was also Kaden's first night spent in a hotel. He didn't do as good as I would have liked, but ok for his first time. He slept decent. Him and I ended up sitting on the couch at 4 a.m. to watch cartoons on the Disney channel, we'll just say that.

My New Best Friend

Over the weekend we went down to Wheatland to visit Great Great Granny Williams. She has this adorable black cat...I hate cats, so for me to find it adorable is really something...but, this cat just LOVED Kaden...we ended up having to put her outside because she just wouldn't leave him alone. It was cute though, because he would just lay there and pet her with his little hands.

Kaden's First Veggie (sweet potatoes)

4 Month Check-Up

Kaden had his 4 month check up last Thursday. He is 15lbs, and 26in long. He is 50% percentile in both height and weight. The Doctor said that he is growing very nicely and he is a 4 month old with a 6 month old brain. He is doing things that he shouldn't be doing until he is 6 months old. For example, if he are talking, he will literally turn his head all the way around to try and find us. Also, the other day, he was sitting on my lap while I was on the floor, and he was rocking himself until he got enough momentum to stand up on his feet...it was the cutest, funniest thing ever!!

Anyhow, I would also like to mention to our friends and family who have been wondering when our wedding pictures where going to be in our hands...well, we FINALLY have them. So, if you are interested in looking at them and picking out which ones you want let me know and I will get back to you with more details.

My Cowboy Boots

I'm sorry!! I couldn't resist getting these cute little cowboy boots for him!! I saw them and I had no choice...there was a bright neon sign with an arrow, and wording saying "Samantha, Kaden will love you forever if you buy these for him." Plus I know Grandma Mary will be just tickled to death when she sees them...tee hee!! :)

4 Months Old

That's right!! The big 4 months today!! Today is also the 1 year anniversary of us finding out we were pregnant. Boy, how time flies by when you are having fun!

Well, this month, Kaden has started to make crawling moves...he gets his little bum up in the air and then pulls himself with his hands, so we are making progress. I started him out on cereal a couple of weeks ago, and he is doing fantastic with it. We haven't started with the spoon yet, but we will soon.

I'm almost more than positive he is starting to teethe. He drools a lot, and chews on EVERYTHING. Plus his schedule is definitely all out of whack and he is fussier than average.

He is into 3-6 month clothing, and growing like a weed. He didn't stay in 0-3 months very long at all!! He is really trying to sit up on his own. I think he is perfectly capable of doing it, he just needs to get his balance.

He is getting to where he is scared of strangers. This was something that I thought I was doing a good job of including a bunch of friends and family in his life so we didn't have to go through the crying when mommy and daddy leaves. It breaks my heart to see him crying and screaming when someone he isn't familiar with hold him. Hopefully this will be something he outgrows fast. I love that he is attached to us, but I want him to be comfortable with the people that we trust to stay with him too.

He has his 4 month check-up Thursday, so I will update more then!! :)
