A New Way of Life

 

Time sure seems to fly by!  Kaden is already more than a month old and is getting so big!  At his one-month appointment Kaden was 22 1/2 inches tall and weighed 11 lbs 5 oz (from 7 lbs 14 oz at birth)!  He was already wearing 3 month clothing weeks ago, and he only continues to get bigger each day!  He is starting to smile, play, and make cooing noises.  I sat in bed the other night listening to him make sweet noises as he watched the projected pictures on the ceiling from the sound machine. It was also funny to hear Kaden laugh in his sleep the other day!  

Go Huskers!

Thanks for letting us borrow the hat Amy!

Our family of three has already gone on two road trips!  We went to the cabin in the UP with some friends over Labor Day. We also went to Omaha to visit my family, and my friend and her son. We even got to go to a Husker game while my mom was nice enough to stay behind and babysit!  Kaden did awesome on the road!  At first, we were a little unsure about the long road trips with our little one, but as we were told, kids are actually easier to travel with when they are younger.

  It's crazy to think that summer is over... in the school year summer vacation kind of way.  Really, it's just a weird feeling that I am not back at work, and I often feel like I still am on summer vacation.  I am loving my new job!  I know I've said it before, but I am so grateful for the opportunity to stay at home and take care of Kaden as well as my nieces Ellie and Maja.  Some of the fun activities we have done are baking together, playing at the park, going on walks, going to our church's play group, and playing library, bakery, witch, doll house, and coloring etc!  Ellie also goes to pre-school for 3 mornings a week.
