June is going to be Busy...

Caden is doing well. We are looking forward to many event things this month!! She is going to meet her Grandpa Roger, Grandma Maria and Uncle Michael for the first time (visiting from the East Coast)! On Father's Day she is going to be Baptized; she will meet her Great Grandpa Dick for the first time on this day as well.

I could not be happier with Caden. We are starting to have a routine! I love her smiles, even when they are at 3am! Since I am not working, Caden and I share many special moments throughout the day; we water the plants together (she LOVES to be outside), pet Ziggy, go to the gym, nap, have skin to skin time and of course feedings. I have become so used to holding her that when she sleeps or others hold her, I begin to miss her.

Here is one of her photos we took recently~

Bath time take 2

This went a lot better then last time!!

1 month

There are a few things I never thought I would do when Caden came along...

1. Miss so many days at CrossFit.

2. Tell myself "that wasn't ENOUGH puke/spit up for me to change" (who wants to do more laundry?)

3. Pee with her literally attached to me.

4. Breastfeed in a parking lot (and to top it off I wasn't wearing nursing appropriate attire...GET IT?!)

5. Sing in public (yes, I know it's bad and I don't care as long as she stops crying).

6. Dance in public (no music needed).

It will be one month tomorrow- Do I dare dream of what is to find it's way on my list?

Tomorrow Caden will be one month old. She is now sleeping between 3 and 3.5 hours at a time during the night, which is WAY better then the 45min/1.5 hrs she was giving me last week. I am sure I just jinxed this and she will be back to her old ways. I believe she takes over the house the most during the night- change her in the kitchen (she loves to hear water running and it keeps her somewhat sleepy and puts us back in bed quicker), nurse on the couch and then rock her if she still fusses in her room all to end with her sleeping in her bassinet next to the bed in our room! There are times when she doesn't go right back to sleep after this circus and instead fights sleep for up to an hour.

We have finalized her Baptism! DJ and I are both very excited. Plans seemed to fall into place, she is going to be Baptized on Father's Day, one day after DJ's dad arrives here from the East Coast.

And lastly, we took some 1 month photos today. This was WORK! She soiled 3 diapers, screamed until the photographers begged for breaks (yes, more then one) and nursed 4 times (all very quick; with so much stimulation she never completed her meal until the 4th time)...I am curious as to what we will come up with. I am hoping to have shots good enough to have invitations to the Baptism made plus announcements to send to family out of state. All those pictures and the DIVA is now napping :)
