I can't believe it! Caden is six months old! We had a good report from the doctor. He is 15 lb. 12 oz.and 25.75 in. long. This puts him in the 25% on the growth chart in both catagories. This is good because at his last visit he was 20%. He's still making good progress! The doctor also said he is above average in development. This makes me happy because 12 weeks in the NICU has not caused in developmental set backs. Nathan said that Caden did 5 of his "tricks" all in a row for the doctor right at the same time he had started asking Nathan questions about Caden's development. He said, "Daddy," clapped his hands, waved, sat up by himself, and grabbed a paper and pulled it towards himself as if he was showing off for the doctor.
It's amazing how quickly he changes and learns. Just within the last couple of weeks I can tell a difference in the way he plays with his toys and "travels." For example, he has some little stuffed fishes that he likes to scoot around a gather up. And he is getting on all fours now and rocking back and forth. He'll be crawling in no time!
The first picture is of the first time Caden sat up by himself while playing with a toy about a week ago. This is his favorite toy for the past month. The second picture is of him sleeping with his bottom in the air in his robot pj's. He loves to sleep on his tummy even though I try to keep him on his back.
