Kayden's New Toy!

I got Kayden a new toy today, he seems to be getting a little bored with the few activity toys we already have, so I saw this chair at Babies R Us today and just had to get it. The chair has a tray with different types of toys on it and the tray rotates. He really seems to be enjoying it. I think he likes to be sitting up instead of laying on his back or reclined in his swing or bouncer. Here are some pictures of him playing with it.

4 Month Check Up

Kayden had his 4 month check up today and he's doing well. He's getting so big, he's almost 15 lbs already and he's 27 inches. He's 95% for his height and 50% for his weight. The dr. says he has Psoriasis on his legs and back, so we've got to put hydrocortisone cream on it and if it doesn't clear up in a week or two we'll have to go to the dermatologist! The dr. also said his gums look inflamed and he'll probably be getting more teeth soon. :( I tell ya what, teething is no fun for him or us! The nurse said that Kayden is looking more and more like his dad, which is what so many other people are saying too! Other than that, he's doing well and growing like crazy. Hope all is going well for everyone!

First Tooth!

Well, just one day after his four month birthday, he is getting a tooth. Ok, well, it's been coming in for a while, but I just realized it today. We've had a couple rough days and nights, so I decided to stick my finger in his mouth today and what do you know, there's a tooth popping up! I was shocked and it really took me by surprise, no wonder the poor kid is cranky and very clingy lately. Just another way to prove to me that he is getting older and bigger! I try to deny it, but every time I turn around there's just something else proving to me that he is getting bigger. It's a part of life, I know, but it doesn't make me any less sad to know he won't be a baby forever.

4 Months Today!

Kayden's four month birthday is today! Happy Birthday to him! :) He is pretty close to rolling over from his back to his stomach, probably not much longer before he has success. He doesn't like to be on his stomach much, so he isn't even close to rolling from his stomach to his back, but we'll get there one day! One thing at a time, right? He's also starting to giggle, it's pretty cute. He's growing fast and goes in on Monday for his four month check-up, those are never fun, for him or me! At the end of last year he was 13 lbs 9 oz, so I'm going to guess he's close to 15 lbs now. Here are some pictures taken of him today.

Finally, Success!!!

Well, we had an awesome night last night, Kayden slept in his crib from 10pm - 6 this morning, I couldn't believe it. Kyle and I still woke up and had to check on him, but he was perfectly fine, just snoozing away. I can't believe that we have achieved success. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke and he continues to sleep well in his crib! Hope everything is well with everyone. Take care and check back often!

Sleeping in his crib....well, sort of!

So Kayden slept in his crib for the first time yesterday during his naps. We had tried to get him to sleep in his crib Tuesday night, but he didn't like it so much, so I decided to put him in there during his naps and he didn't seem to mind it. Then last night we put him in there and he did really well, slept in it until 2:30 this morning, it's not the best situation, but it's progress nonetheless. We've got to start somewhere, right? I am hoping to get him in his crib full time by the time I go back to work, which is coming up way too fast. I'll be returning March 1! :( It's going to be a sad and difficult day.

Here are some pictures of Kayden in his crib and just some other random pictures. He's getting so big, almost four months and starting to giggle, it's too cute. He is such a smile monster and is a very happy baby! We couldn't have asked for a better baby!

There's also a picture of Kayden, Charlie and me on New Years Eve! Let's just say, neither Kyle, Kayden or I made it to Midnight! :)
