Just Caden!

Caden is getting much better at holding his head up...Aunt Rissi will be so proud of him next time she sees him!

Caden has already outgrown 2 of his winter snowsuits. And as you can see from this picture, his arms are almost too long for this one as well! Soon he will fit into the white one from his Great Grandma...

We have Caden sleeping next to our bed in a bouncy seat because he doesn't really like being flat on his back, but we decided to let him try out his crib for a few minutes after changing time and he loved it!

This is as close as we are going to get to a smile for now...he was obviously in a great mood!

Family portrait...sorry Rig and Grace...

Countdown to Christmas!

We've had several visitors from the boathouse come to meet Caden already...Kristen just adores Caden, and he is very fond of her!

Caden FINALLY got to meet the one and only Beck Dorey-Stein this week. Unfortunately he didn't get enough of her because she was in high demand Wednesday night, but he liked what he saw!

Aunt Anna and Uncle Nick made the trip out to Hightstown to meet Caden earlier this week. It wasn't the best hour of the day for him, as he was a bit fussy, but it was great to visit with everyone.

Mark and Amy (our matchmakers!) came by last night to see the little guy and he put on his holiday outfit just for them. We had a great time catching up with them, although we're a little jealous of their Christmas trip to Hawaii...

First Real Bath!!

Spence went to get Caden ready for his first bath while I filled up the tub. Spence was walking down the hall to the bathroom with naked baby, and Caden just couldn't hold it...there was poop everywhere! Spence dodged most of it, and managed to only get a little on his shirt.

Caden did an awesome job in the tub...no tears!! It seemed like he really enjoyed being in the water...he didn't even fuss when Mom got water in his eyes.

Caden making a funny face...too cute!

All done...time to get changed...

Tuckered out after bath night!

Weekend Visitors

Caden finally got to meet his Uncle Walker this weekend and he LOVED him! We started calling Walker 'The Baby Whisperer' because he knew exactly what to do, even when Caden got fussy. Very impressive!

Walker spent the night because he was going to the Army Navy game on Saturday. Grumpy was also here visiting because he and Spencer went to the game to watch. Walker looked very handsome in his uniform!

This is Caden checking him out...he agrees...very impressive, Walker.

Mom and Caden went to Grandma Ferrari's house to hang out for the day. We got to see Aunt Rissi between East swim practice and her CBAC swim meet, and Aunt Beanie stopped by to say hi as well!
Caden loves his turtle play mat from Jolly. He is so cute when he watches the turtles swing back and forth...

Monday Night Football and Sponge Baths

Caden had a blast hanging out with Dad and Matt, watching the Patriots play on Monday night. Mom was able to go get some sleep while the little man enjoyed the game with the guys.....so it begins.....

Caden was all bundled up, ready to go to his doctor's appointment today, and he looked so cute I had to take a picture. As soon as I got the camera out, he let loose a big smile in his sleep...perfect timing!!! He must have been dreaming about that Patriots game on Monday :)

Caden was such a good baby tonight during his sponge bath tonight...no tears! Sunday is the first day we can give him a real bath...we'll see how he likes that...

His fuzzy, little bear towel from Grandma kept him nice and warm!

Busy Week!

Caden had his second doctors visit last Friday at 12 days old. He was already 8 lbs 4 oz! The doctor says he's a healthy boy!

Photo shot after peeing all over the wall...oops!

Caden came with us on Saturday to pick out his first Christmas tree! We went with the Keefer family and although everyone was freezing, both families managed to find beautiful trees. Caden was a trooper in the cold, windy weather!

Napping during the day so he can be well rested for party time after the sun goes down!

Aunt Beanie came to visit today...Caden loves being spoiled!

First Week Home

We have been home from the hospital for a week as of yesterday, and Caden is doing great so far! His favorite thing to do during the day is sleep, as you can see from the pictures. When he is not sleeping, he is a great eater and he enjoys every meal!

Tummy-time for everyone! Gracie and Rig have been great with Caden, despite the fact that the little man gets all of our attention these days.

Caden loves his swing...he sleeps in there for hours!

Spencer and I are still trying to figure out where those cheeks came from...they are too cute!!

Asleep in Daddy's arms...I think Spencer was trying to get Boston in his blood by the process of diffusion...
