Today was Caiden's first stint in daycare. It was only 3 hours, but went pretty well. He had a weird morning, waking up before 6. Usually he sleeps in until 7-7:30. He must have known changes were coming! Having him up that early threw a little kink in my plans for the morning, but we made it out the door with time to spare. The daycare people said he did very well. Hopefully he keeps that up! Tomorrow he goes for 5 hours, and then it's full time from there. Nana Nan will be taking him on Mondays though. As for me, it was a bummer heading back to work, but I am so glad Caiden is right across the street and that I'll be able to spend my lunch breaks with him when he is there.
No pictures from daycare, hopefully soon!

New Years Eve
What a fun New Years... a sleepover with Grace, Tony, and Ian! They came over in the afternoon, we had some fun play time with Ian, then we had a fun adult dinner when the kiddos went to bed. Ian is teaching us how to baby proof our house. We have some work to do before Caiden starts moving!

End of 2010
We had a fun couple of days between Christmas and New Years. A big snowstorm, some visits from friends, and fun around the house. We're also getting ready for daycare starting next week. It'll be a hard transition (hardest on me, I'm sure), but I think it will be good. Caiden will be going to daycare across the street from my office, so at least I will be able to spend lunch breaks with him.
Hanging out!
Visiting with Grace and Ian. Ian will be showing Caiden the ropes soon. Future partners in crime, I'm sure.
Caiden is getting much more observant. He enjoys his new "friends", the animals hanging from his bouncy chair. Sometimes I catch him smiling and chatting with them
See you next year!!

This fun toy has music and flashing lights that can turn a cranky baby into a happy one
See you next year!!

First Christmas(es)
Christmas #1 took place at our house on Thursday, with my mom, sisters, and significant others. We had a yummy meal and lots of good presents. Caiden had a hard time going to bed with all the fun activity downstairs! He wanted to be in on the action.
Christmas #3 with my Dad, Grandma, and sisters was thwarted by snow. The Boston area is supposed to get 18+ inches today and tomorrow, so our plans to have a turkey dinner and more present opening
are postponed. We are sad to have missed Great Grandma's trip to Boston, she was on her way back to Connecticut early this morning before the snow and traffic got bad. So instead of putting the turkey in the oven we are getting prepared for a big snowfall and possible power outages.
Then on Friday we headed to New Hampshire to have Christmas with Dan's family. Caiden made out like a champ with lots of cute outfits. Unfortunately Christmas dinner plans with Dan's cousins were thwarted by illness. There were some fevers going around, and we weren't comfortable having Caiden around that. We still had a nice Christmas dinner with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Hank and had a visit from Aunt Barb.

Gotcha
Caiden has started to have big throw-ups. Sometimes he eats so much we can hear all the milk sloshing around in his little belly, and we know to be careful and keep a rag handy. But sometimes he still nails us (or the couch... or the floor). Here he got Dan pretty good. Hehe.

Christmas Trees, Drool, and Duck Face
Caiden is enjoying his first Christmas Tree (well, he enjoyed the lights for about 5 minutes, then he got bored with it)
The drool level is slowly increasing. Poor guy always has a wet chin and shirt!
He has started making a duck face, here is my best attempt to catch it on camera
He has begun to take more notice of the world around him. He will stare and stare at the mobile over his crib, and at the toys dangling off of his play mat. He is beginning to pull things into his mouth. I'm not sure whether it is intentional or not just yet though!
Today we went to a baby friendly movie in Arlington, which was fun. We met some of the moms from my moms group, it was nice to catch up with them.
