Where Has the Time Gone ...

Oh my gosh, it's been almost a month since I've added a new post and that's certainly not because we haven't had anything to talk about. Since my last post on October 3, we've had to pack up our house on Wilderness, move everything to Brad's office, take 1/4 of that stuff to our new duplex on Wade Avenue, stay at hotel Lizotte for 4 days, unpack and settle in at the new duplex, and through it all, watch little Caed grow and grow and grow! What a month it's been, but I'm happy to say that we made it through! I have lots of pictures to share, but I don't have a way to transfer the pics to my computer right now, so they'll have to come at a later date.

Other news ...

We took Caedmon in for his 2-month check-up yesterday. (I can't believe he's 2 months already, where does the time go! He's smiling a lot these days, couing and moving his arms and legs all over the place. He even loves the bouncer seat now and will hit the little rings in front of him for quite a while.) Anyway, at his appointment, we discovered that Caed now weighs 13 pounds and is 24 inches long! He's in the 70+ percentile for weight, length and head size :). That's our boy! What a difference a month makes! And unfortunately, he also had to get 4 shots and an oral immunization, but he did really well after the initial scream and 2 doses of Tylenol. Cherry flavored Tylenol was a genius idea ... Caed loves it!

We also decided to take a visit to Charlotte this weekend and even after Caed's shots, he did really well in the car. (This was actually his first long car trip.) He slept the majority of the way to Greensboro and then was able to meet his uncle Glenn, aunt Christina, and cousins Cyrus (3) and Lucia (6 months). Lucia was so happy to meet Caedmon that she even puked up her grape applesauce on Caedmon's carseat. What great visions of the fun they'll have as they get older :P. Now that we're in Charlotte, Caed will be able to see his other cousins again tonight when they're all dressed up for Halloween. If we're lucky, aunt Michelle may be able to find Ryan's old superman costume and Caed will be able to dress up as superman for Halloween. If she finds it, we'll definitely post the pictures.

Scheduling

Oh the joys of scheduling! Now that we've hit week 5, we're taking a stab at developing a schedule that's conducive for Caedmon's large appetite and mom & dad's sanity. Today is day 4 of our schedule and like everything else, we've had our ups and downs. Monday was very rough -- full blown screams at naptime and the feeling like things would never get better. Monday night rolled around and it seemed as though things were on the ups when Caed slept 4.5 straight hours and we were able to begin a nice routine the next morning. And then Tuesday prooved to be pretty good. Naptime in the crib was still painful, but Caed was an overall happy baby during the day. But once bedtime hit again, sleep for all of us was non-existent, so when Wednesday rolled around, I opted out of the schedule for a few hours in the morning so that Caed and I could catch up on our sleep and that made the day much more enjoyable. However, by 11:30pm -- Caed's last hoorah for the day -- I could barely keep my eyes open. (We did go to Community Group and maybe the extra socialization wore me out -- but I was exhausted and used every last bit of energy to stay awake.) But now that Wednesday has passed and Thursday is here, I think we're slowly getting the hang of this, Caed is just not very predictable yet, so I imagine that only time will tell now.
