"If I were your boyfriend..."

I always laughed when I heard parents setting their babies up with other babies... planning their wedding before they could even talk...

Well...

Meet Daveena. 

Kaden's future girlfriend.

Our future daughter-in-law.

Don't let her fool you... she loves him.  I had to get in the picture with them because she's playing hard to get right now.

first sick doctor visit

At 5 weeks old, Kaden went to the doctor for what we thought was an eye infection.  Come to find out, it was an undeveloped tear duct.  The doctor prescribed him some eye ointment and it's supposed to help.  We hope it does because the poor guy has a swollen, goopy eye until then.

Other than that... he's a healthy boy.  He weighed 9 pounds 12 ounces!  That's a big jump from a few weeks ago.  He's finally starting to get some meat on those bones!

mom or dad??

We still can't figure out who Kaden looks like.

A lot of people say he looks like Kirby because of the hair.  ...but what do you think?

another first- WalMart

Woot! Woot!  The other day we had to go to WalMart and b.k. (before Kaden) we'd jump in the golf cart and ride over together.  Now that we have a little one, it makes the process a lot more complicated.  Sooo... after packing the diaper bag, getting the Moby wrap ready (in case of a "crying his eyes out" emergency), and mentally preparing for our first big public trip out, we headed that way... in the car, not the golf cart of course.

He wasn't too sure what to think as we walked in, but after a few confused looks and some whimpering, he closed his eyes and made the best of the bumpy, noisy ride in the cart.  Half way through the trip, some ladies in the freezer section suggested we put a blanket on him.  I knew in my head we didn't need to since we were leaving that isle soon, but I did it anyway.  He continued to sleep until we were just about to walk out (in the hot and humid temperatures... blanket still on him). He gave us just enough time to ask a random lady to take a family picture of us and then he, understandably, let loose and wouldn't stop crying wailing.  After doing everything we could to console him, he finally calmed down when we got home and took his clothes off of him to cool off.

We did however get everything on our list and he seemed to get a little snooze too.

Again... success.

brunch & babies #2

Kaden's first outing with Mom was on Friday, July 20th.  We went to the 2nd annual Brunch & Babies at Miss Linda's house.  This time I didn't need a stand-in baby... I had a real one!  I only pulled over one time to check on him and had just a bit of anxiety when he cried around everyone.  Kaden had a good time & Mom was able to try to relax.  Success.

Wordless Wednesday

Just a few pictures that I couldn't wait to share :)

first real bath

First real bath was a success!

It's a good thing he couldn't tell mom and dad had no clue what they were doing!  We got him in the tub and that's when Kirby asked me... "so how are we supposed to do this now?"  We figured it all out though and in the meantime Kaden just chilled out.  He was lovin' the warm water... so much that at one point he fell asleep!

Since the first bath was such a success, we have high hopes for all the fun baths to come!
