It's so hard to believe that Caden is already 6 months old! Spencer and I have had so much fun getting to know our little man and he has brought so much love, excitement and joy into our lives!We took Caden to see Dr. Bob yesterday and he is already weighing in at 19.5 oz and 26.5 inches long. He got 2 shots and we will go back for the other 2 in a couple weeks. He also got an oral vaccination which he seemed to enjoy....Dr. Bob was surprised by how much he liked it because he said babies at this age usually try to spit it out :) Caden has been doing great job eating, if you can't tell from the pictures ;) From month 5 to month 6 we stuck to cereal and vegetables and by the time he was 5 1/2 months he was eating 3 meals a day, 4-6 oz at a time. The only vegetable he didn't really love was asparagus (which is funny because I couldn't even stand the smell of asparagus when I was pregnant!). We started fruits a few days ago and so far he has enjoyed peaches and apricots!
Spencer and I have been busy with the end of classes and the end of racing season around the corner but we try to spend as much time outside as possible which Caden, Gracie, and Rig all enjoy. We bring a blanket to sit on and a bunch of toys out to Center Campus but instead of playing with his toys Caden prefers to watch the kids playing frisbee, or he watches Gracie run around like a nut. It is so cute to see how much he loves her!!
Caden has been doing much better at night....he goes down between 7 and 8, then he is up around 11, 3 and then up for good between 6 and 7. He's been taking 3 naps a day, anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. We've been listening to the Unicorn story on CD while falling asleep which we all enjoy :)
