Easter Bluebonnets





Every Easter for the last few years my family has gone to take pictures in the bluebonnets on Melody Lane. The kids get dressed up in their Easter clothes for the occassion. It was even more special for me this year because I had a little one of my own to take to the bluebonnets! Caden did a great job smiling. And sweet little Hope is always trying to give him a hug. Check out the picture where her arm is around him. They are already buds!

Milestones




Wow! It's been a while since I updated the blog. It seems like so much has happened over the last few weeks!

1. Caden finally doubled his birth weight last week! He's 14 pounds!

2. On March 8, Caden starting clapping! Now he won't stop! He claps all day long! I'll lay him down for a nap, and when I go to check on him he's just clapping away!

3. My favorite first happened yesterday. Caden started giving kisses! He grabbed my face and slobbered all over me. He did this several different times. This morning he gave me another kiss!

4. For the last few weeks he has been able to push up when he's on his tummy. He's getting so much stronger.

5. Toys! He is really starting to love toys. He has always enjoyed playing with toys, but now he is taking a more active role. He's learned how to push the buttons and move the parts. He likes anything that talks or sings.

6. We participated in our first CF Foundation fundraiser. Nathan joined the Memorial Hermann Wellness Center's team for a field day where teams competed against each other in games such as tug-o-war. It was a beautiful day! I've included a picture of Caden at the event. Man his hair looks red in the picture! He has some red tones to his hair, but he's not a true red head.

7. Speaking of hair, Caden has already had 3 haircuts within the first 4 months of his life! Tomorrow he'll be 5 months old and he's due for another haircut! His hair has also changed colors several times. It was dark brown, then it lightened up a lot. Then it started looking red, and now it's a light brown.
