A Good Weekend!

 Kade has been doing well.  The nights are very hit and miss, but there are more hits than misses these days.  He has had a couple of 5-6 hour stretches at night which has been nice.   Here are some fun pictures we just took this weekend!

10 Weeks

Kade is now 10 weeks old. The milestone for Kade is sleeping 5 hours straight! Last night was the second consecutive night that he slept for a 5 hour stretch. Awesome! He is also finding sitting and standing up (with our help) to be fun. He is very interested in the world around him, constantly moving his head from side to side and following noises with his eyes. It has been incredibly fun getting to see Kade's personality come out.

March Update

Just hanging out at home.  Tyler and I were trying to get him to smile at the camera.  He is smiling and talking to us much more these days, which is awesome.  
All bundled up ready for a walk outside.  The swaddle (with legs) is awesome for use in his stroller and it keeps him very warm.
His neck is getting stronger.  The picture is a little deceiving, he is on a slight incline :).

Kade meets Lucy and Maddie Potts (He wasn't sure what to make of the situation)

Kade is doing well.  He is now 12 lbs and 24 inches long.  He has been sleeping better meaning he has been sleeping about 3 hours between feedings with a few exceptions.  

Here are a few new pictures!!

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.

Visiting the Washburns (February 15)


Rylie and Kade


Mom and Kade (The first picture of Kade and myself besides those lovely hospital pictures)

February 17
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.


Tyler and Alli Mitchell

Tyler and I met in July 2005 were married August 4, 2007 and welcomed our first child, Kade Allen Mitchell on January 5th, 2009. It has been a crazy journey, but one that is definitely worth taking. To us, everything Kade does is adorable and our hearts constantly melt.
