Caden Is 4 Months Old!!

Today, July 18 means that  Caden is four months old! We can't believe it!! He is growing up before our eyes. David and I are both very fortunate in that we are home most of the summer to watch this take place! I think he changes every day. He is so curious and loves to explore everything! Here is an update on all that is new with Caden...

He is already working on sitting up in his bumbo seat! We put some toys on the tray and he works on grabbing them. It is more like slap-stick grabbing right now, but he is definitely focused on grabbing his toys! We have noticed that most of his actions are very intentional. He has a mission and works at it until he has accomplished it...or gets frustrated! He loves to roll from side to side. He rolled over in his crib on July 10, but not again since. We've been working on it. Some days we roll him all the way over onto his tummy (his least fav) and I think he is so shocked at what just happened that it takes him a minute to realize he is on his tummy!  He talks up a storm! We have 5-10 minute conversations filled with smiles, giggles and some facial expressions. We keep trying to get it on video tape, but he loves to look at the camera and try to figure out what David or I are holding and usually stops talking at that point! What a stinker! He hates tummy time but we practice a little each day. He has really discovered his hands and LOVES to suck on his WHOLE fist! He has started to notice his feet when I hold them up but still doesn't know he can grab them. He LOVES reading books and has started trying to read them with me...or tell me what he thinks about each page! He also LOVES bath time and has started scooting backwards, which makes bath time a whole lot more interesting! He is a big smiling boy right now! My favorite is when he studies my face with a straight face then cracks a HUGE smile! We both giggle!

Well, that is about it! We look forward to watching what comes next!
