Adventures in Rice Cereal

So about 2 weeks ago Caden started having Rice Cereal once a day. We got off to quite a rocky start. We put him in his bumbo the first time and he hated everything! So I put my thinking cap on and knew he loooooooved bath time. Soooo he got cereal in his bath the next night and it worked like a charm! He had fun splashing and eating his cereal. The next night was not bath night so I figured I would just hold him and feed him...nope. He screamed and cried the whole time. So now on bath nights he gets it in the bath and other nights I put him in his bouncy, vibrating chair and does great! I have thickened it up now so it's the consistency of baby food. I am soooo glad I took my sis in laws advice and did not just put it in his bottle. He just needed time to get used to the whole process!

It is usually said that the Rice Cereal will help them start sleeping through the night....not with Caden! haha! He usually goes down at 8:30 and then wakes at about 1:30 or 2:30. Well today he stayed asleep until 4:52, so maybe we are making some progress!

I also haven't written about his new "school"...which I LOVE!!! He is at a Home Daycare now with my sister in laws sister. So he also gets to be with his cousin all day! Brit is great with the kids and even has Caden doing crafts! He has been there a week and a half now and I could not be happier with the care he receives! I got so lucky getting that spot!

We miss daddy a lot, as he is still in Texas for basic training. Only 7 more weeks until we get to see him again!!

4 Months!!

Caden is 4 months old! So hard to believe! He started eating rice cereal (slowly but surely lol) he talks all the time and is working hard at rolling over (no quite there yet)

Stats:
14lbs 6oz
24 1/2 inches long

He will be starting a new day care on Wednesday with my sister in laws sister's home day care! Can't wait! He will get to hang with his cousin all day!

Another note, Josh joined the Air Force! He has been working on it for two years now and he left for bootcamp today. We will miss him very much the next 8 1/2 weeks, but it will be worth it in the long run!

3 Months!!

It is so hard to believe it has been three months since we brought this beautiful baby boy into the world! Caden is growing like a weed! Not sure of height and weight but bigger every day. He started day care, or as we like to call it school, this week. It was really hard for me. I would much rather be a stay at home mom!! School is going well though. He is the youngest there so I'm sure he gets extra attention!! ;)
