Caed Visits ARS

Caedmon got to visit his daddy at work yesterday bearing Chick-fil-a. Prior to our 1 month check-up at the pediatrician's office (obviously it hasn't been a month since we've been to the doctor, but this was Caed's 1 month mark), we decided to bring lunch to Brad at his office so that the ARS guys could meet Caed, and so that we could get out of the house for a bit longer. Roger was especially happy to see Caed wide awake and alert. The other two times he'd seem him at church, Caed had always been asleep. Thankfully, even as Caed was wide awake, he was a very calm and happy baby. (I think we're turning another corner.) Last week at this time, if we would have tried this, he would have either slept through the entire outting or cried. There is hope in sight!!

Caedmon even enjoyed some time at daddy's desk and helped out with a few calls.

At the doctor's office, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Caedmon is now 9 pounds, 7.5 ounces and is in the 50th percentile for weight and 85 percentile for length. Caed, however, was not too thrilled to find out that he had to get his second Hep B shot and at the prick of the needle, he let us know. Poor guy ... we'll definitely have to prepare him for his 2-month visit, which will include 4 more shots -- 2 in each leg. Ouch!
