Kaden is 4 months + old! He is still a big boy! When we went
to the doctor for his check up
he weighed 19 pounds 2 ounces, which puts him up in 96% for his
weight and was 26.5 in. and still in the 91% for height. The
doctor said that Kaden can start solids any time now to 6 months. I don't
know if I am ready for him to start solids yet. He probably is more ready
than I am though.
Kaden is drooling/spitting a lot
again! He took a break for a week, and I thought that he was done
with that stage, but nope. The drooling/spitting is back which means
the bibs probably need to be too. The past few weeks, Kaden hasn't
been taking a bottle. We have tried many times, and with other family
members, but he refuses. My mom and aunt were successful and
got him to take a bottle after 6 hours. Any suggestions you
have are welcome! Kaden's doctor recommended trying a sippy cup.
Her son wouldn't take a bottle from 6 weeks old on, but would take a sippy cup
-interesting! We have tried different positions, areas in the house,
a couple different bottles, and nothing has seemed to work. Kaden used to
take a bottle just fine when he was younger, but we didn't give him a bottle
unless someone besides me was watching him. I guess he got smart.
Play Time: Kaden loves to play
in the play/activity mat. He especially loves looking at himself the
mirror, and the play mat has one. Kaden also has been playing a lot with
his little football and orange oballs. He can easily grab and put
them in to his mouth. He tries to put most things in his mouth including
toys, blankets, his fingers, and even our hands/fingers. Kaden still
loves his swing, and the mobile that is attached to it. He is going to be too big for it soon, which will be a sad day for him. He recently
showed interest in the exersaucer we got from friends. Tummy time is
still not his favorite, but he is doing sooo much better and will stay on his
tummy for several minutes without fussing...which is a huge step for us.
He hasn't rolled over, but we are working on it, and he is sooo close!
Kaden can roll over with some help from us, but he still hasn't figured it out
on his own.
This Thanksgiving, we traveled
to Omaha. It was fun because a lot of my extended family
was there. We were able to go to the Husker game while my mom and
aunt watched Kaden. It was very fun, but really sad that we lost to
Iowa. We also played games, went in the hot tub, visited friends, and ate
delicious food which included Swedish pancakes, DQ ice cream cake to celebrate my uncles birthday, and of course the Thanksgiving meal was very yummy too!
I still can't believe that it
is mid-December! Fall just flew by! John and I had fun
decorating our house for the Christmas season and trying to remember how
we decorated it last year. We bought a new artificial tree since our old
one was way to small. John was excited to put his
train around the tree. It still works! He got it from his grandpa
who had it when he was a boy. This year we are celebrating Christmas with the
Lindahl family. The extended Lindahl family is coming here to the Chicago
land area. Merry Christmas to you! I hope you have a wonderful
holiday!

Random Side Note/Question: Does anyone know how to organize pictures easily on this kind of blog?! I always have so much trouble placing the pictures how I want them. I want to have a few pictures on the same line so it doesn't take up so much space. Plus my blog page always looks different when I preview it!
