Too Cute!

The Decorating is Done!

Sweet Potoatoes

So I decided that I am going to make homemade baby food. It is way cheaper then buying it, it doesn't have all of the preservatives, and it's fun to make too. My first creation was sweet potatoes. I just thought that Caden would only want a taste, but he loved it. I have a ton of it though. (like 4 times the amount shown in the picture.) Maybe cousin Noah would like to try some sweet potatoes?

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving. We are lucky enough to have both of our families close by which means that we got to eat Thanksgiving dinner twice! The trick is not eating too much at either place which is hard to do with all of that yummy food. I am so grateful for my little family, and that Caden is here to share the holidays with us!

Caden Loves His Sippy Cup

He can't wait to grab it every time that he sees it. He doesn't quite get that the juice doesn't come out unless he tips it up.

It Must Be Cold in Here!

That lump under the covers is Carrot taking a nap. So much for making the bed today!

It's a Tired Baby

He was so cute snuggled up in his blanket sleeping on the couch!

Yummy!

We may need a little bit more practice at this eating thing.

5 Months Old!

Caden is growing so fast! He is already about 17lbs. He has gotten really good at rolling over from his stomach to his back. He still doesn't like tummy time, so when I put him on his stomach he doesn't stay that way for long. He can roll onto his side from his back, but that darn arm gets in the way . I love his cute laugh, and he loves to laugh at his daddy. Caden got to start eating real food this month. He doesn't really like rice cereal, but he will eat oatmeal. He has also tried prunes and pear juice which are starting to grow on him. He loves to stand up (I have to keep him balanced, but he is pretty good at supporting his own weight.)! I try to get him to sit up, but he just wants to stand all of the time. He has also found that he has feet, and he likes to grab them. He sleeps anywhere from 6 to 9 hours a night. We love our little Caden!

Fun With Noah

This picture was taken really fast. Caden can't sit up like that for long. We are practicing though!

Duke Wants to Be the Baby Again

Look What I Did Today!

Now I just need a Christmas tree to put them under!! Matt won't let me get away with that until after Thanksgiving though. I guess that they will have to stay in the closet. At least the cats won't be able to open them yet. (Carrot was already picking out which one he wanted to open 1st!)

My Helpers

Duke and Carrot helped me put away Caden's laundry today.
