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. 

Easter 2014

This was our first Easter in Arizona! Amber and Warren invited us to have Easter with them. We participated in their ward's Easter egg hunt, which was held at Warren's parent's house. That was really fun! They had games, crafts, and lots of donuts. We had Easter dinner with Warren's family as well. They are so kind. I made the boys matching ties. They looked super cute!

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.
