Caden loves his puppies and the older he gets the more he tries to interact with them. He reaches out to touch them when they are close enough and he thinks it's really fun when they give him kisses!
Caden still loves bath time! He is usually ready for his bath around 6:30 every night and he is then sleeping by 7:30 or 8:00. Caden has been sleeping much better since Friday night. He was at the point where he was waking up every 1-2 hours and Spencer and I finally decided it was time for him to learn how to put himself back to sleep. So for the first time in his little life, Caden cried for longer than 2 minutes and I'm sure it was harder for Mommy and Daddy than it was for him. The longest he cried for was probably 40 minutes, but he would cry and then stop-realize nobody was coming and then start crying again. Today is Monday and he is already at the point where he'll wake up and all we need to do is go in and give him his binky and he goes back to sleep. It's almost like we have a new baby! Call me crazy, but I kind of miss seeing him so much at night :(
Caden was playing in the mirror the other day, and while I'm sure he didn't realize it was his own reflection, it was still really cute! It's also a good shot at the back of his head...he looks like an old man with no hair back there!
Sleeping at nighttime must have been a big adjustment for Caden. Not only did he have to learn to sooth himself, but he also had to learn to sleep in his crib. Until this point, he was sleeping in his bouncy seat, swing, or car seat but Spencer and I decided we were not going to go through a tough adjustment more than once so we put him in his crib on Friday night. He already seems pretty content in there!
I think the most amazing part is that Caden went from eating every couple hours to eating only once at nighttime. The last 2 nights he has eaten around 4:00 and that holds him over until he wakes up for good around 7:00. BIG CHANGES!!!
