Kaden, Happy 4 months!

Dear Kaden,
You are officially 4 months old! I no longer consider you a newborn.  (Sigh) :(

1 hour old....

1 month old...

2 months old...

3 months old...

4 months old!

The first 3 months were harder with you (since you had reflux). BUT once we got you on medicine and a good schedule you were a MUCH happier baby! We are SO happy that you are growing (and that is an understatement)! You LOVE to nurse and would take it anytime over a bottle. However,Daddy has the magical touch for sure when it comes to bottle feeding.
I took you to see Dr. McGee on Wed. She was thrilled with your progress! You are 17lbs even (and in the 75 %) and you are 25 & 1/2 inches (75%). I am SO happy that you are not to big for your age-I was getting worried for a while when you wanted to eat each hour at the beginning! The last 2 weeks you have discovered your hands and I am convinced you will be a thumb sucker :) Your personality is coming out more and more each day. You have the biggest grin and love to smile at us when you see us!
Parker LOVES to giggle at you when you are down on the floor playing. You LOVE to talk each morning around 7AM. You just started sleeping 9 hour stretches about 2 weeks ago! Mommy is forever grateful for sleep again. Some nights you still want to eat around 3 AM and that is fine with me. I know you won't be little forever.

Your favorite time of the day, besides being in mommy's arms~ is definitely BATH TIME! You just LOVE to kick your feet and stare at your hands. You melt mommy's heart when I see how happy you are laying in the tub.

Last week you had your first food! We introduced you to Rice cereal and you LOVE it. We have found that 6:30 PM works wonders for you~ and you sleep till 5 AM!

Today we will always remember~your future playmate, Brady Foster is due to arrive very soon! He is being born today! We can't wait for you two to meet!

We are so happy to have you in our family and can not wait to see you get more mobile and explore your surroundings.  God has blessed us with you and we are touched that he chose us to be your mommy and daddy!

Huggs and kisses....we just can't get enough these days of those sweet chubby cheeks!

XO

Mommy and Daddy
