Cayden 6mo!




6mo specks
*Weight: 18lbs 1oz
*Length: 27.5"


6mo = 1/2 a year closer to one. How are we here? I definitely feel like I've enjoyed the milestones as much if not more with Cayden; maybe I know how quickly the time really does pass with my boys. Cayden is still that sweet, joyful child. He still doesn't cry much and usually sleeps 9-10hrs at night. (This last month has brought a few inconsistent nights of waking at weird times...) It would be easiest to attribute those wakings to the little specks of white on the bottom gums - teeth soon? Our pediatrician said they usually start getting teeth around 6mo but some as late as 15mo! Wow!

He still loves laughing with us or at a small startle. Timothy has been very successful at getting him to laugh a lot! Must be some new brother connection going on that sometimes we (mom and dad) don't get. Cayden is very good at grasping items big or small and even unintentionally throws them. Timothy recently picked up a thrown toy and said, "Now, don't throw it on the floor again." Once it was thrown again, Tim said, "I said don't throw it again Cayden." Oh dear...we're in for some trouble if that's the case. :) His voice continues to mature with lots of babbles and even a couple 'dada's! And he's the kid that screams...yes, we have a happy screamer on our hands. And sometimes, I can't even tell the difference between the boys screams.

Physically, he's all over the place. Not crawling, but he rotates by rolling or swiveling on his belly. And I've thought many times, 'How did you end up there?' Also, we pulled out the jumperoo - he LOVES it! He's been sitting more and more by himself.

We just started solids: he likes pumpkin, he does not like banana.

What a sweet boy we have been blessed with!

Photo Mishaps

We decided that we'd just use pictures we'd taken of the boys for our Christmas cards this year. Since having Timothy, my dear friend Alauna has taken pictures we've used for Christmas pictures. And needless to say, I'm missing them this year. While we have some great pictures of the boys, it's just not the same.

We'll make do; the boys are too cute not to, but here are some...mishaps. (some were taken with the "intension" of maybe using, some are just plain funny)

A bit of Halloween

We weren't able to join our friends from last year trick-or-treating due to timing, but we were able to meet up with a few other friends and had a great time. 

Cayden was the cutest little pumpkin! And while Tim desperately wanted to be a pumpkin like Cayden, he sported a dinosaur costume passed down from my sister. He had a fantastic 'Roar!' that even scared one of his friends. Timothy was a bit resistant to the dino; I'm not sure if maybe he is becoming a little scared of them, but candy was a good motivator for getting it on (and the cooler weather encouraged a warmer costume).
