2 Year Old Adventures

Photos from the last 6 months

One day we heard giggling coming from the kitchen. Carson was dipping his head in the running water and thought it was hilarious.

Cory's work (at the elementary) had a party for him on his last day. He brought home what was left of the cookie they had. Carson loved it, obviously.

We ran through the sprinklers with our clothes on.

We moved to Arizona!

Here are some pictures of our new house.

I actually moved his bed to be perpendicular to the wall with his name. I like it a lot better. I need a new picture.

Caden's baby blessing

Caden was blessed on February 16. He was exactly 1 month old. His dada gave him a beautiful blessing. Thanks Jimett for writing it down for me!

A lot of people came! Jimett and her family. Tyler and his family. Marci. Ryan and Annie. Darin and Rachel. Caden is very loved! It was so fun to have so many cousins to play with.

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!
