4 Month Doctor Visit!

Auntie Beck came to visit last night and she couldn't believe how much Caden has grown since December. She is doing really well and we are all really excited for her as she gears up to start her new job in DC! Speaking of jobs, today was my first day back in the classroom and it went smoothly! It was great to see all my kiddies and they seemed excited to see me...although they were probably just pretending so I'll give them good grades ;) Caden spent 2 hours at Amanda's house and he was exhausted but didn't want to take a nap. It might take him a while to get used to napping somewhere else. I teach 2 classes tomorrow but lunch is between them, so I'll get to hang out with him slash nurse him during lunch.


The Peddie community has been so thoughtful and generous since Caden arrived. We got this gift basket from a student I taught last year...his mom is very talented and she made all the beautiful, and delicious, cookies! AMAZING!!


Caden is really starting to develop a relationship with Gracie and Rigger. He smiles at them when he sees them and laughs when we chase them around the house. That was Grandmom's idea and he loves it!


Caden had has 4 month doctor visit yesterday with Dr. Bob who we absolutely LOVE. Caden weighs 16 pounds, 9 ounces, and he is 25.5 inches long, between 75th-90th percentile for both. Caden has been taking medication for acid reflux for about a month and a half and Dr. Bob said he may be growing out of that so we could stop the medication for a couple days to see how he reacts. So far so good! Dr. Bob took a look inside Caden's mouth and saw his tooth buds and said, "oh yeah....they'll be here in less than a month!" Then Caden got his vaccinations :( There are 4 vaccinations so we decided to break them up and we did 2 yesterday and we'll do 2 at his 5 month visit. Caden was great and only cried for a couple minutes.

We're looking forward to having Gammy, Aunt Summer, Uncle Chandler and Uncle Kiefer visit us for a couple of days this week. They are all coming down on Thursday and will be watching Caden on Friday while Mommy and Daddy work. Then, they'll get to see Walker when he comes up to Princeton to race the Tigers. It's going to be an exciting week!
