New Pictures

Kade had new pictures taken a week ago.

Playing In The Floor

Here is Kade rolling around on the floor playing with his blocks. He rolls all across the room. He hasn't started crawling yet, just rolling. That will come soon enough I'm sure!

6 Month Checkup

Kade had his 6 month checkup on Thursday. He weighed 22 lbs. 5 oz and was 27 inches long. This was his 6 month checkup, but it was actually 2 days before he turned 7 months. Look how big those legs are! They say that at 7 months, most babies are 2 1/2 times their birth weight. Kade is 3 times his birth weight!

Kade After His Bath

Here is Kade getting ready for bed after his bath.
He will chew on anything!

Our Morning Ritual

In the mornings Kade and I get up. He eats and gets changed and then swings and watches cartoons while I get ready for work. A lot of mornings when I come back into the living room after getting ready, he has fallen back asleep in his swing. He really loves his swing!

Kade Playing

Kade was playing in his pack n' play. He was having a good time until he noticed that I had walked out of the room.
Then he started crying. When I walked back in the room, he stopped crying but was still pouting until I picked him up. He's good at that!

Kade Napping

Here Kade was napping on the living room floor. I like how he sleeps with his arms above his head!

Happy Boy

While I was getting ready for work, Kade was hanging out in the living room watching cartoons while in his carrier. He's such a happy boy!
Here he is playing before bed!

Silly Kade

Here I was changing Kade's clothes and got his shirt stuck! I just had to take a picture!
Grammy brought Kade an Easter bunny that sings, and his ears move back and forth. Here he was playing with the bunny.

Kade Lounging

Kade likes to sit in my chair and watch TV sometimes. Here he is just hanging out!

Kade's First Easter

Here is Kade before church on his first Easter in his new Easter outfit. He had a camouflage Easter basket with camo Easter eggs. We didn't hunt eggs this year. It was too cold to get Kade outside.
Here he is after church wearing his Easter bib with his new bear that he got from his Bible class teacher. He was in a better mood than this morning. I couldn't get him to smile when he was in his dress clothes, of course!

Kade Sitting

Kade is learning how to sit by himself. He sits really well with support and pretty well by himself. His belly gets in the way sometimes though! Here he is sitting in my recliner.
Kade was in a really good mood today. He was just laughing out loud the whole time I was taking his pictures!

Almost Crawling

Kade is getting close to crawling. He will get up on his elbows all the time and his knees sometimes. He's rolling all over the floor right now though. He can already get into things since he can roll everywhere.
He's getting pretty nosy and always wants to know what's going on. Here he is being nosy with the camera!

Kade In His Highchair

Here is a picture of Kade's first highchair feeding. This was the first time I really fed him anything besides breast milk. I started him out on baby cereal. He really likes it and looks like a little bird opening his mouth in anticipation of each bite!
Here he is making a bit of a mess all over his face! At first he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with the cereal. As fast as I could spoon it into his mouth, he was spitting it back out.
Once he got the hang of it though, he has done real well eating from his spoon.

Kade's Silly Tricks

Since Kade is teething, he really likes to chew on his pacifier. He turns it like that without even using his hands!
He also likes to cross his ankles all the time. I can't keep shoes and socks on him, because he crosses his feet and kicks his shoes off. Then he'll roll his socks off. So I've given up on shoes until he learns how to walk.

I Want To Be Like Uncle Bryan

Here's our future Tumble In delivery man! I think Uncle Bryan is rubbing off on Kade a little bit. Does that look seem familiar? I've had several people tell me that they think Kade looks like Bryan. I really thought that when he was first born!

SMILE!

Kade just loves to smile all the time! Jake & I enjoy watching him play and smile. He's so much fun! Here he was playing on his play mat.
Kade realized he can flip the bar of his pacifier up above his nose. It doesn't bother him at all. He will just leave it up there for a long time. Jake & I will just laugh at him!

Daddy, Mommy, and Kade

Here are a couple of current pictures of Kade with Mom and Dad. We played in the floor a little while this evening when Jake & I got home from work. Kade is really starting to have fun playing! We are having so much fun with him!

Kade's 4 Month Checkup

Kade had his 4 month checkup today with his second set of shots. He turned 5 months old yesterday, so we were a month behind. This was the soonest I could get him in for his checkup. His doctor checked his bronchiolitis, and he is doing much better. He is feeling well now, and I am so glad! It has only been a week since he was weighed and measured, and today Kade weighed 19 lbs., 4 0z. and was 25 inches long. So supposedly he has gained 12 oz. in one week! But the nurses said he probably had a pounder diaper on. We had been waiting for quite a while, and I hadn't been able to change him!

Kade is Sick

Kade has his first sickness. He started getting a cough and runny nose on Saturday evening. His cough has been pretty bad. At first I just thought he had a little cold to go along with his teething. So I wasn't too worried about him. He ran a little fever off and on from Saturday night until Tuesday. So I stayed home with him. He just wanted to sit in my lap all day long. I feel so bad for him. I can tell he's in pain, and I don't like it. Wednesday his fever was gone, and he seemed to be feeling better. So I went ahead and went to work. But by today he was running fever again, and I could tell he was feeling bad again. Jake and I decided since his symptoms weren't getting any better, we had better take him to the doctor. So we did that today. We found out he has bronchiolitis. It's nothing serious, so we're thankful for that. His bronchial tubes are swollen which is why he's coughing. He should be better within 3-4 days. His doctor told us to do breathing treatments with Kade to see if that would help him. Otherwise he just needs time to get better. I will be so glad when he's well! Needless to say, we haven't had much sleep around our house lately. Oh, Kade now weighs 18 lbs., 7 oz. and is 25 inches long. He is now 21 weeks old and will be 5 months old on Wednesday. Time sure flies by!
