Summer Fun

Wow...what a difference a month makes.  I am really late posting this so Caden will actually be four months old this Saturday.  This past month went by so, so fast.  I can't even imagine how quickly the time will fly from this point on since we only have one month left before school starts and then I'll be so busy at work.



Mr. Caden is definitely growing.  I was going to change the two month picture because it is a little funny looking (Chris can't stand it) but his face looks like a little elf haha :)

Caden's all time favorite thing to do these days is stand up.  If you're sitting down holding him he wants to be standing.  He's been loving hanging out in his exersaucer, although he's not quite tall enough so we stacked some chopping blocks underneath so he could get some good leverage and bounce.  It took him two days, but he also figured out how to push the buttons to get the music and lights to play on his own.  It's so fun watching him concentrate and try to figure stuff out.  He gets better every day with his hand-eye coordination....and he's usually got his eye on either his bottle, the TV or my phone...uh oh.

Caden is a really easy baby I have to say.  He doesn't get upset all that often and is smiling most of the time.  He sleeps anywhere from 8-10 1/2 hours every night so I think it's safe to say that we are pretty dang lucky and have a good routine going.  Now we just have to figure it out once school starts and we're both working everyday again.

At the beginning of the summer we took our first trip with Mr. Caden.  We went to Oregon to see his Aunt Katie graduate from college.  He was a trooper for that long drive.  On the way home we stopped at Crater Lake.



And Caden saw (and touched) snow for the first time!  Daddy is so mean! :)


We spent the 4th of July up at Lake Tahoe.   Caden entertained himself with his monkey who he found hysterically funny.


And then he dipped in feet in the lake for the first time.  (Mean Daddy again)


He's so happy and he has no idea what's about to happen... and then....


He wouldn't make eye contact with Chris for a while after that.

The warm temperature of Aunt Lebe's pool seemed to be more his style.




We had Caden's three month photo session with his cousin Erin from I Spy {Photography}.  He was having kind of a rough day and had gotten woken up from a nap to have a camera shoved in his face.  He would not smile at all which is so unlike him.  But we were able to get some good shots and some pretty funny ones with him being Mr. Serious.










And finally....a smile peeked through...





I imagine that it will only get more and more fun from here.  I know sitting up and real food are right around the corner for my little man. <3
