The Fredrickson Family Fanfare

Routine??

What's a routine? Everyone keeps asking if we have a routine. Uhhhh...no.  Every time I think we may have one, we don't.  Enough said.  Dare I say that Caden has been getting a little bit better about sleeping in longer increments at night.  However, now that I  mentioned it I'm sure it is either just a fluke, not a routine, or that I have just jinxed myself.

Here is his two week old picture.  I'm a little late.

Here are some 2 week old picture outtakes.  He wasn't really feelin' having his picture taken that morning.

I love this picture of Caden and the way that the sunlight is hitting him.

After bath time.  We used the Tummy Tub for the first time this week.  He loved being able to chill in the tub for  a few minutes.  I'm sure his little red, diaper-rashed bum loved it too.

Charlotte and Caden bonded this week.  These days you won't find Charlotte far from him.  If Chris or I is not within immediate proximity of Caden, Charlotte is, guarding him and making sure everything is A-Ok.

Yes!  He is smiling.  I swear it's not gas.  He's GT! :)

This past week was also Easter.  It was fun being able to see all of my family and they were really excited to see me Caden.  Caden was pretty content with Easter overall.  He got his first little Easter basket and since people basically fought over who got to hold him all weekend he was always warm and cozy.

That was until we got home and he was

1. Not being held

and

2. Still had on his bunny hat.

He was not happy.  First he expressed his feelings by flipping us the bird.  When that didn't work...

He begged for me to stop taking his damn picture.

But he finally succumbed to the fact that there was no use and decided to just wipe away his tears.  He was wearing a bunny hat AND a shirt with a bunny and chick on it, and there was nothing he could do about it.  Sorry dude.

These past three weeks seem like they've flown by, and yet it seems like years ago that I was pregnant or that we were at the hospital. 

This week marks the milestones of Caden officially growing out of newborn sized clothes (now that he weighs in at a whopping 9 pounds 9 ounces), of him absolutely HATING being swaddled anymore and the image of Chris blowing on Caden's little, red, naked, Desitin-covered bum...an image I thought I'd never see. :)
