6 month update

Guess the best of intentions don't keep a blog updated so I'll have to start doing it. (grin) I can't believe that it is already the end of September and Kaden is almost 7 months!!! He is growing so fast, today at the doctors he weighed at 19.2 lbs and is 27 3/4 inches, that puts him in the 75% for height and 61% for weight. His smile melts my heart and those blue eyes get more amazing every day.
Although he is not crawling yet he manages to get himself from point A to wherever he wants to Be. He's become very proficient in turning himself in circles to play with the toys all around him which is very entertaining and amazing to watch him develop and learn how to get around. Sunday he was playing on the floor next to Aaron and managed to scoot himself under Aarons legs and next to him on the other side!
Even though he hasn't met his Uncle Buddy they share many traits... that high pitch screech and squeal is mellowing out for the most part but is still very much a part of his communication. There is a good possibility that he'll be left handed, and when he doesn't smile they share the same "look". He's babbling, mama and baba are starting to make their way out. Aaron tries dada and gets laughs so we'll see how that one works out.
Yesterday we took him in to get his 6 month pictures. Oh my gosh he looked sooooo cute!!! His hair has curl to it and between his blue shirt bringing out his already beautiful eyes his little brown shoes topped it off. (Not that I'm partial or anything) We got a family picture done which was weird to see, only grown ups get those and I don't think we qualify yet.
Last week Kaden had his first friend over, it was so fun watching them interact. The little boy is about 10 months so Kaden watched him crawl around and they'd pull on each others long sleeves then reach for a hand. Every week we get together with the ladies from the ward and their kids for a play date but one on one they were sure cute.
We found tooth number 5 last night! So far the two bottom are in, the top middle on the left side, and the two right next to the middle teeth are in. Hope that other middle tooth comes in soon so he's not lopsided for long but what can ya do?
Aaron and I are loving watching Kaden grow and are amazed with the changes that come from day to day.
He's loving the solids, his favorite are squash and bananas and doesn't like peas(how does that work) carrots and peaches. He loves to drink water from his cup and is taking his bottle like a pro. Still working on having him hold it all his own, which he can just chooses not to when he finds his hands.
The little man is waking up from his nap so I'll be posting pictures and a few more stories later.

2 1/2 Weeks

Kaden had his second check up today and everything is looking great. He now weighs 8lb 6oz and is in the 27/28 percentile for weight and height! We had to laugh because his cheeks are looking a bit more full but I guess thats what happens when you eat every two hours (wink)
The first visit he didn't mind being stripped down to be weighed but today he was not so happy about it. Thank heavens for pacifiers!!! Next visit is the two months and shots so Aaron is the man for the job but we've got a bit before we have to think about that one.
Tomorrow Kaden and I are going to go stay with Mom and Dad and Aaron will come Friday after work. This will give Aaron time to get caught up, not to mention good, sleep and get me out of the house without being alone. Kaden might get a little extra love too....
