Caden 2, 3, 4, and 5 months

I've been awful at updating Caden's baby life. So here are months 2-5.

March 7th. He really started smiling around this time.

First park trip in AZ

One day I put Caden in his bouncer in the bathroom so I could shower or something. As I was getting up, I bonked the bouncer then tripped over it. Caden's buckled self got a good bonk on his head. I felt SO bad. I cried with him. Worst mother moment ever.

His little swimsuit was so cute!

4 month picture!

He's got this mad-scientist hair. He had a couple of days where I thought he was teething. I don't know what it was, but it was the worst couple of days. Nothing ever came through, either.

During months 4 and 5, Caden and I went through a major biting problem. He bit me so hard one day, that I bled. And it wouldn't heal. And it was extremely painful every time I nursed. Like the worst pain ever. Then I got mastitis from not nursing on that side. It was bad. I had to do saline soaks and pump to get it to heal. And even pumping killed. But a week or so later, it finally started getting better. 

A month later, he bit me again really hard in the same spot. It opened back up and I had to go through the whole process again. Luckily, I knew how to get it to heal. But unfortunately, he wouldn't take a bottle this time. So I suffered through it. ( No mastitis this time, so the pain was a bit better). But I literally had an open wound on my nipple for another week! Not fun.

He knows he's not supposed to bite me and has stopped. But I almost gave up nursing. I went through a little biting phase with Carson at the same exact age. It wasn't nearly as bad. But he learned not to do it. That was the only thing that kept me going.

Since the day Caden started smiling, he's pretty much been doing it. He is such an easy baby. Love him to pieces.
