Caydence is home..

Okay so I am a slacker. Caydence has been home for a week now and I am just getting around to blogging about it. It is good to have him home, but boy I forgot what it was like to have a new baby!!! The being up all night feeding and all that good stuff. Last night he finally slept for 5 hours without waking up. I was so excited. Since he has been home it he has been up every 3 hours on the dot to eat. Let me tell ya he takes forever to eat to. I don't know what it is about my kids but they eat so little all the time until they get bigger.. What wackos I have for children. So anyway it has been a tired week for me. Caydence is up all night and Payton and Abriee are up all day, so what little sleep I do manage at night keeps me going all day. Now I am not complaining and I love my children. I am just so glad that we are done!!!

Caydence is 2 weeks old today and he had his 3 week checkup. He is now 7.5 lbs and is still 20 inches long.. I have to tell ya I was really surprised that he has gained a pound since being home. Payton nor Abriee had gained that much weight at their 2 week check up and Abriee is a junk!!! Needless to say its going to be interesting to see what happens while they grow up. Payton will be the "runt" of the family.


Payton and Abriee love Caydence to death and its so cute to watch hem hold him.Payton could hold him all day if I let him. Abriee just gets a big grin on her face and thinks that she is mommy now. Abriee is my keeper of the bottles and fighter for the binkies.. She loves to keep track of Caydences' bottles,hates it when he has a binkie. The binkies are only for her!!! What a wacko!!! They are help when I need them to be and more often when I don't need them to be. They have all adjusted very well to Caydence and Caydence does well with them too. I have not had any jealousy issues with Abriee and she has done very well with him home.


I am blessed with 3 wonderful children that drive me up the wall!! Ha ha. I know one day they will drive me completely crazy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything..
Payton is such a big brother!! It's funny that when Caydence was first born and we were in the hospital Payton wanted nothing to do with him. Now he just can't get enough!!!
Abriee was so excited to actually see Caydence and finally know that there was really a baby!! She is just starting to get the hang of holding him. She actually has to hold him. He doesn't hold himself up yet!!
Aren't they just so cute?! One day Payton will actually look at the camera and smile for a picture. He is just camera shy!!

Your kids are so cute!! I am glad that Caydence is home and things are going well. That's funny that Payton didn't want to hold him until you brought him home. That's exactly what Bradley did with Halley. While we were at the hospital, I swear he didn't even want to look at her, but within hours of getting home he wanted to hold her all the time - wierd!
