6 month old photos

I went up to Logan to visit my friend Tiara and while I was there she took some pictures of Cade for his 6 month mark. Here are a few of my favorites. I have all of them on Facebook if you're interested.

This is his halloween costume.

My friend Heather made these letters for his room.

This is the perfect picture of his sad face. Brian this the caption should say "I hate it when the Broncos lose."

7 months and a dog

I'm 7 months old! My how time flies! I love to play and stay in my pjs all day! I am now wearing 3-6 month size clothes. I am a very happy boy and am looking forward to learning how to crawl(I am very good at creeping around with my arms like a snake)and can't wait until I have some teeth so I can eat what mom and dad are eating!

We also got a dog! Hooray! His nam is Shoku(it means friend in Albanian) we adopted him from the Humane Society. He's 8 months old and is a Chow chow/Australian Shepard mix. He is very well behaved and came to us house trained! It's been great. Cade and I feel much safer at night with him around when Brian goes to work.

6 months

Cade turned 6 months old in September. He is very talented at this age. He can sit up all on his own. Scream and make all kinds of noises. And eat food like a champ. He also sleeps through the night now. He'll go down at 7:30pm and sleep until around 8am, he might wake up once or twice but usually just talks himself back to sleep. He loves his binki and any toy you give him. He really likes animals(especially dogs) and will giggle anytime they get within reach. Cade is great and we love him lots.

6 month old stats: Weight-17 lbs (42nd percent, up from the 5th) Height-23 inches (.26 percent, down from the 2nd)
His doctor said that if he hasn't gone up past the 5th percent for height at his 9 month check up then he'll probably run some test on his thyroid and growth hormone level. We aren't too worried about it-it's not like Brian and I are giants, he's probably just small like us!

Just because he's cute

Here are some 5 month old pictures (even though he's almost 6 months old now)

Cade loves to sit up, and is trying his hardest to do it without support-but I just don't think his body is quite big enough yet.
Here is a picture of Cade with his cousin Christoper, who is 3 months younger, and they are about the same size!

Cade loves to jump in his bouncer. Seriously he can spend at least 30 minutes at a time in it. He loves to just jump jump jump!

And I am pretty sure he's the happiest baby I have even known, just look at him and he'll smile. The ladies won't be able to resist that smile...

Hey! Look at me!

Hello! I am 4 months old! I am really good at holding onto my toys and getting them into my mouth.I like looking at the TV so much that I'll do anything to see it.I can even grab 2 toys at a time! I also like to hold onto my burp cloth, so I have the with me all the time.
I just tried rice cereal for the first time. (You gotta be kidding me, this stuff has no flavor!)
I am getting better about riding in my carseat, as long as I have my lion, toy, and binki I don't mind it as much!
Cade is a very good baby. He is getting really good at putting things in his mouth and loves to chew on things. He likes to play with his binki, putting it in and out of his mouth (he can almost get it back in by himself everytime). He smiles all the time and if he is in the mood then he'll laugh, but he is very picky about what he finds funny. He likes to sit up and look at the world, he only likes to lay down if he's sleeping or on his playmat. He is now eating 8oz bottles 4-5 times a day and is pretty good at sleeping through the night and he puts himself to sleep at night and naptime. He still hates bath time, I am still hoping that will change in the near future.

4 month old stats: Weight-12lbs 1oz Height-23 inches (5th percential for both, his doctor said he's bringing up the caboose for boys his age)

I want to be doing this...

3 months old

Hello! I am 3 months old!

I am getting so good at sitting upright, especially in my bumbo. I love being able to sit up and see what's going on around me! I especially like leaning against pillows.

I am very happy and smile when people talk to me.

I am also practicing grabbing at toys, I am getting pretty good at it. My favorite thing to reach for is the purple elephant.

This is one of my favorite toys, it lights up when you spin the ball!

Cade at 3 months old is pretty much the same as he was at 2 months old. He still sleeps the same, but now he doesn't like to have his arms wrapped up in the blanket. We also recently discovered a bedtime formula that helps him sleep through the night without interruptions. He can now sleep until 8am without needing to eat, we love it. Lately his naps have been a little off, sometimes he will and sometimes he won't-his morning nap is the most sporatic one. He loves his daddy and will quiet down everytime he holds him. Brian feeds him in the morning when he gets home from work, they get some special bonding time while I get a little more sleep. Cade really looks forward to his alone time with his daddy.

He is getting a little bigger each week. I don't think he's getting much taller-but he definitely is getting heavier. He is very sensitive to his surroundings. He doesn't like his stroller, unless it's going perfectly smooth and doesn't hit any bumps. Loud noises really make him upset. And he has decided he HATES showers now. If he is awake and his diaper is wet/messy he demands that it be changed immediately. The only time he likes his carseat is if the car is moving, as soon as you stop (and even as you start to slow down) he will start to cry, but as soon as you start moving again he'll settle down. 98% of the time he is very happy and so much fun to play with, as long as his surroundings are calm and to his standards of perfection.
