Update

It's been a few weeks since I've updated what's going on in our lives! So here we go...
Brian is still working the graveyard shift at ARUP but he switched his schedule to be 7 days on 7 days off. His week where he has to work is rough. Cade and I miss him, but then we all really like his week off because we get to spend lots of time together! I went back to work this month. It's good. I like being able to get out of the house on a regular basis, plus I get to take Cade with me. The kids that I watch love him. They like to play with him, which most of the time is okay-but every so often he gets a little overwhelmed by then and I need to hold him for a bit to get him to calm down. I also celebrated my first Mother's Day. We spent the day relaxing and visting with family. Then it was our 2 year anniversary! We went to a dinner and a movie to celebrate. It's been a great 2 years! And soon after that it was my birthday! I am offically 24! Again, we spent the day relaxing and went to lunch and dinner. Sadly I didn't get any pictures of any of these events.


As for Cade he recently turned 2 months old!
He still likes to practice sitting up in his Bumbo chair.
But he loves his bouncy chair and musical Lion. He'll always smile and laugh at it when you turn it on.He is now almost big enough to wear some 0-3 month onesies. My friend from Logan made these church onesies for him and he worn it for the first time this last Sunday, he looked very handsome with his tie on!
Cade is also really good at holding his head up. His leg and arm movements are becoming less jerky and more fluid and intentional. He smiles all the time, and we think he has started to laugh. We can't quite tell if it's a happy squeal/laugh or an upset sound, either way it's pretty cute when he does it. He isn't really interested in toys yet, but likes it when you read books to him. He still doesn't like the bath and will tolerate a shower as long as it doesn't take too long. And he doesn't mind being in his carseat as long as the car is moving, but as soon as it stops he'll start crying. He is eating 5-6oz every 4 hours during the day and can go for 6 hours at night before waking up. We are starting to get into a daily routine. His first feeding is around 7am, he'll go back down for a morning nap around 8am and sleep until 10am. He'll eat again at 11am and take a long afternoon nap until 3pm when he eats again. After that it is his awake and play time. He does need one or two catnaps to get him through until 7pm when he eats again and has a little more play time until 8pm when we get ready for bed. After that I wrap him up and hold/bounce him until 8:15ish when I lay him down and he puts himself to sleep until around between 11 and midnight where he'll take a dream feeding to get him through the night! Most of the time he is very happy and content just to sit and hang out. We love it! He is still wearing newborn size clothes for the most part and a couple 0-3 month onesies, he's pretty small but I like it that way! He had his 2 month check up where he got his first round of shots (which he handled really well) we gave him baby tylenol that night for the pain and he took it like a champ! The doctor said everything looks great and that he his doing really well.
Here are his 2 month stats: Weight-9lbs 8oz Height-20.5 inches (he is in the 5th percentile for both)
