Caden 1 month

Caden is such a sweetheart.

He hardly cries. 

A week ago he started smiling and cooing when I look at him and talk to him. And every night--in the middle of the night--he will just grin at me. He would much rather smile at me than go to sleep. It makes me want to stay up with him and smile at him back. He is such a smiley baby! I love it.

So at 3 weeks he got what I thought was baby acne. Carson had it around that time. But Caden's wasn't going away with breast milk. Carson's did. A few days later I noticed he was getting cradle cap on the back of his head. I decided to leave it alone. It eventually went away but came back. And his poor face was getting worse. It turns out he had cradle cap on his face. I didn't know that was even a thing. I googled around and discovered you can use Listerine on the head. That did the trick! But not on his face. I used aquafor for a few days. When that didn't work, I resorted to the hydrocortisone cream. We are on day 2 and it's almost gone. Poor guy. 

I'm glad he poops like a normal baby. Carson was constantly poopy for months! And because of that, he always had a diaper rash. We had to use cloth wipes until he was 3 months old. Thank goodness Caden only has 1 or 2 poopy diapers a day. 

We had a dental appointment for his tooth. They didn't know what to do so they sent us to an oral surgeon. He thinks it's his baby tooth opposed to a neonatal tooth (extra tooth.) He said since it's not bothering him or me and it isn't loose anymore, we can just leave it. He said it would be way too hard to get x rays to try and figure it out. So we're not doing anything with it right now. When's he's 2 or 3 we'll look at it again. I think it's a baby tooth. I wonder when his other teeth will come in. 

He still isn't sleeping too great. He has ok nights and bad nights. Carson was a better sleeper at this point. If I get a 3 hour stretch, I'm happy. 

He rolled over today. We kept putting him on his tummy to see if he would do it again. And he did. Over and over. It was way funny. We weren't expecting that!
