Healthy Happy Boy!

Caiden had his 1 month check up today at the pediatrician's office. Well, more like 5 1/2 week check up, but close enough. :) Anywho - Dr. is thrilled with his progress and told us we're doing a great job! She was even impressed that we didn't look completely haggard and worn out. Amazing the difference having a good baby can make! :D

Updated stats:
Height: increased 2 inches to an even 2ft.
Weight: gained 3lbs to put him at 12lbs 5oz and is perfectly on track.
Received the 2nd shot in the Hep B series. (Poor kid - I hated seeing him cry for that.)

Another "first" - Dad feeding son:



Yes, we also introduced him to the bottle (filled with breastmilk) this past weekend, and he took to it really well! This is a very very good thing as it means I can leave the house for longer periods of time without worrying about rushing back to feed him. Perhaps Brian and I can manage a date night sometime soon? Any volunteer babysitters? :)

Has it already been a month? Tony Austin's wife had her baby yesterday (5/14) and all seems well for them too. I'm so happy for you guys!

You'll have to tell me what you wish you would have done the last couple months before having Caiden. I keep wishing and hoping to have my baby that I feel like I should be enjoying the 'now' more.

We live right by the Alderwood movie theaters if you guys want to drop off Caiden and hit the mall or movies for a date night.
