Kade Smiling

Kade is now 7 weeks old. He has been smiling more regularly which has been awesome. It honestly melts my heart every time I see him smile. Kade is still waking up every 2-3 hours at night, making me delirious at times. Last night Tyler fed Kade so I got a 4 hour stretch of sleep. I never thought I could be so happy to get 4 hours of sleep.

I borrowed a swing from my sister that goes sideways and Kade loves it. When he gets fussy and it's time for a nap it works wonders.
Kade has started smiling regularly. It seems like he is trying to talk back to Tyler and me, but of course we can't understand him. It's just nice to see him smile at us and it not be due to gas.
Last night was a good night. Kade slept 2 hours after each feeding, which means I got to sleep for 2 hour chunks. I hope that time increases....
Kade is also over his first plugged/infected tear duct. I am happy to stop rubbing ointment into his eye lid (he took it like a champ).

It's hard to believe that it is half way through the month. Hope everyone is doing well. Soon spring and summer will be here. I am looking forward to the warmer weather.

Kade Pictures at One Month

January 30

Time does fly when you have a newborn. Things are going pretty well. Kade is a thriving little boy with very healthy lungs :)

We took Kade in to be weighed today and he is up to 9 lbs (so he is passed his birth weight).

Tonight he will go to his first home basketball game (Nooksack vs. Burlington). He made his first game appearance vs Sehome over a week ago and he did very well (slept the whole time).

Back to Work for Daddy

Well, after a very exciting week its time for Daddy to go back to work and for Mommy to keep on caring for Kade.

Yesterday was a little rough trying to get back on schedule even though Kade has been Sleeping better at night. He has only woke up 2 times the last two nights.

Last night was a little rough becuase Kade got circumcised, but all seems to be going well. Kade is feeding well and seems to be gaining his weight back ok.

Here are some more pictures!!!!

Home Sweet Home!!!!!

We are home!! We arrived home at about 1:00 this afternoon.  

After unpacking Daddy had to go brave the flood waters to get some prescriptions for Alli.  

Kade slept all the way home, while Daddy drove 10 mph below the speed limit.  

As far as visitors go for the weekend, Alli and I welcome visitors, but would like people who plan to stop by to call ahead to make sure we will be here and can plan for your arrival.

Alli gets her staples out tomorrow at 2pm and we have a nurse coming out tomorrow morning to check on Kade.

Hope everyone is doing well!
