Dawson asks about Baby Caden all the time, and we're sure that they (along with the other 2 nephews) will be the best of friends in a few years. Dawson and Owen are both so sweet with Caden, and it is a joy to spend time with them!

Sweet face
Can you tell he's gaining weight? His little cheeks are starting to become chubby...in a sweet-baby sort of way.
Sound Asleep
Caden loves to be swaddled when he sleeps. However...last night, he was out like a light and slept nearly 5 hours with his arms in this position! He also kept his passifier in on his own. Brett took this picture with a flash in the dark bedroom...Caden never moved.

Church Day
Today was Caden's first day at Grace Pointe church of Christ. Everyone oooed and awwed over him. When the announcement was made that Caden was in the audience, Daddy held him up for all to see (think Lion King). Daddy was excited to wear his new shirt which read "Caden's Daddy". We were quite the proud parents today!

Mattie & Caden

The girls & Caden
April's grandparents drove from Arlington, Texas to visit their first great-grandson. This was a surprise visit...even to Caden's Nana (April's Mom).
Our little gloworm
Our precious little boy had jaundice the first few days of his life. We were blessed to be able to treat him with photo therapy at home. Sometimes, photo therapy is given by placing the baby under certain lights to help break down the biliruben. Caden had a light that he wore on his back which strapped to his little body. This allowed us to hold him and feed him. Unfortunatly, it required us to keep Caden close to an outlet, making movement limited. The light let off a "glow" making him look like a gloworm. We also had to suppliment his feedings with formula until my milk came in. Caden had his heal pricked to check his biliruben count until it was down to a safe level. Praise God he was only on the machine for four days.

Caden's 1st Halloween
We never dreamed he's make it for Halloween. We always thought he'd be a November baby. Boy were we wrong. Thanks to Gamma for making him a "Caden's First Halloween" bib. November 1st, Caden will be one week old...they were right, time does fly.

The Proud Parents
This is the first picture taken of our little family after Caden arrived. Could there be a great blessing than the first few moments with your first born child?!
Cuddling with Mommy
Mommy discovered that Caden is the cuddle bug she and Daddy always dreamed of having.
Hands
This picture was taken on the first day we brought Caden home. His Daddy is fascinated by his tiny little features.

Cradle made by Dad
Gran Pa and Mommy stand proudly next to the cradle that will very soon hold a precious little gift. We went to the doctor yesterday and everything continues to be exactly how it should be. My strep-B test came back negative and my blood pressure looks great. Although I feel uncomfortable at times, Dr. Kouri assured me that everything is as it should be.
April admiring cradle
Our baby shower at GracePointe Church of Christ was wonderful! We were loved on and blessed by their generosity. My favorite item of the day had to be a special gift from my parents. My Daddy had worked several months on making this beautiful cradle for his first grandchild.

29 days and counting....
I know..I know...babies don't always come on their due dates, but I have to have something to focus on. I'm reaching that point where I'm ready for this baby to be here. I'm not to "get this baby out of me" just yet, but I am ready to meet the little one...or at least I think I am.
