Our little Cade has been doing very well. He is proving to be a very easy, very mellow little fellow. He still spends a lot of his time sleeping, but is slowly transitioning into a 3 times a day nap schedule. It is hard to believe that he has been home for 2 months. The time has really flown! He went in for his 4 month check up, and now weighs 11.2 pounds and is 22 inches long. Since he was born, he has already tripled his weight and grown 6 inches. No wonder he is so sleepy! They tell us that we are supposed to look at his milestones from his actual due date- June 15. This puts him at roughly 7 weeks old, which is exactly how he behaves. He is still working on holding his head up, but he gets better each week!
The one place that Cade acts older than 7 weeks is sleeping- he is a champion sleeper! Most nights he feeds around 9 pm and then sleeps till 6 am. It is wonderful to get a full night sleep! A lot of nights Sophie still wakes up in the middle of the night and wants me (she has regressed a bit since Cade was born), so to have a newborn sleep better than my 3 year old is amazing! Now I just have to get Soph's back on track...
Cade is now off all of his oxygen and monitors. The company came and picked it all up last week, so now Cade is a free boy! It makes life a lot easier now that he is not tied down to a 5 ft wire. I can now pick him up and go upstairs with Sophie, bring him into the kitchen with us, go for walks and to the park. It's great not to have to carry everything with us when we go to the cabin on the weekends as well.
When we do go to the cabin, Cade and grandpa have fallen into an afternoon routine- taking naps by the lake. Cado loves his nap time with gramps.
At the cabin, grandma and grandpa spend lots of time giving our cado some lovin'. They help out tremendously, which makes coming out there so much fun!
