Caden's 1 Week Update

Since I have a baby in my arms, I'm not going to re-arrange the pictures around the blog post... so pictures first, update second! :)
 Pretty blue eyes!
 Quite a perplexed look!
 Caden's first bath at home!
 At first, he wasn't too bothered by it..
 And then he started fussing...
 Time to wash legs & feet!
Little peanut after his first bath!!!


Believe it or not, Caden is already a week old! It just boggles my mind!

Here's a few updates on what life is like with Caden:
  • He weighs about 7 lbs (our digital scale only weighs in 1/2lb increments so he may weigh more/less). He was born at 6lbs 8oz and weighed 6lbs even on Monday at our postpartum visit.
  • Mommy is down to 5lbs away from her pre-pregnancy weight! WOOHOO!
  • He eats about every 2 - 2 1/2hrs during the day.
  • He eats every 4 hours at night. Mommy is LOVING that! He eats for 25 mns and then sleeps for 3 1/2 hours. :o)
  • He's such a great sleeper. He'll sleep in his bed, next to Mommy, in the swing, on the couch... anywhere!
  • He's a bit of a Mommy's boy already! hehe He LOVES his Mommy and I'm lovin' every minute of it!
  • At any given "diaper check", he's probably poopy and you'd never know b/c he doesn't fuss about it.
  • He's finally fitting into newborn diapers.. speaking of, we're almost out! YIKES!
  • He's a wonderful eater.. a couple minor latch issues, but other than that, I have NO room to complain.
  • So far, we haven't had any "blow out" diapers, however, I'm sure those days await us.
  • His umbilical cord fell off on Wednesday... still appears to be an "inny". It's still not healed all the way so no bath yet.
  • He's still a tad bit jaundiced. His coloring looks good but his eyes are still a bit yellow.
  • He loves to sleep with his hands all balled up by his face.
  • He's starting to make little noises here and there which can be pretty funny!
  • Just in the last day or so, he's been alert for longer periods of time. It's great to see those cute blue eyes.
