Hello, Feet

I think Caiden's been noticing his feet for a few weeks now, but last night when I was changing him he got those toes into his mouth! A new fun thing to chew on.

Another road trip

We took another road trip this weekend to visit Great Grandma Esther. We timed the trip so that we would drive down during Caiden's morning nap and drive back during his afternoon nap. Grandpa Jack drove so that I could keep Caiden entertained in case he didn't sleep the whole way. I had a bag of toys handy.

Ready for a road trip!

Caiden has grown a lot since Great Grandma saw him last!

Caiden was very cute in a new outfit from Uncle Pat, Dan's cousin

With Grandpa Jack

Caiden started to show hints of fussiness at Grandma's. Luckily he napped the whole trip home, but once we got home- disaster struck! I think he has some tummy troubles going on, Saturday night and into Sunday he was very fussy. Very strange for him. None of our usual tricks worked. He was still acting strange this morning, I am hoping he doesn't give Nanna Nan a hard time today!

On Sunday morning we hosted our first BTT SGR (Sunday Group Run) in Acton. Caiden held it together while everyone was over, and loved the attention. Once everyone left though, he was back to being grumpy. Feel better, little man!

Ready for summer

It's March... warm weather is around the corner! Can't wait to spend more time outside with the little man. Caiden is ready and has even been seen sporting sunglasses and his beachy shark sweater.

 

Yesterday evening Caiden had his 4 month shots. I held them off for a few weeks since he was still a little sick around his 4 month checkup. I was dreading the return visit to get the shots, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. He cried while getting the rotovirus drink which was weird (it's just a sweet drink), I think she gave him the dose too quickly. He cried hard while getting the two shots also, but calmed down immediately. He even gave the nurse some smiles as soon as I picked him up. What a good boy!

Weekend visitors

Caiden got a visit from Grandma Judy and Grandpa Hank this weekend! Grandpa Hank helped Dan with a lighting project in the basement while Grandma Judy spent time with Caiden. Nanna Nan came to visit for a while too... Caiden got to see both Grandmothers at one time, what a lucky guy!

We tried Caiden out in the jumper. He doesn't quite get the jumping yet, he just twirls around on one foot

Caiden got some great new clothes and some hand-me-downs, including some of Dan's old baby clothes! Here he is trying on a Red Sox hat.

Caiden with Grandpa Hank

Caiden's favorite new toy, my water bottle. An empty water bottle is of no interest to him, it has to have water in it. It's clunked him on the head a few times but that doesn't seem to deter him.

Judy found this bottle of wine at the store near our house! Check the label...

Squealing

Caiden has picked up a new sound, squealing. He has been trying it out quite a bit, especially when on the changing table (which is, for some reason, a favorite spot of his)

Just hanging

Caiden was just hanging out at one of his favorite spots when I picked him up from daycare last night!

Birthday Fun

After our fun Friday we had more fun over the weekend! February is a big birthday month with Grandpa Jack, Aunt Margaret, and Doug all having birthdays within one week of each other. So we had a celebration with Nana Nan and everyone on Saturday night and another celebration on Sunday afternoon with Grandpa Jack. Caiden got lots of good family time! Unfortunately no pictures from either event.

On Sunday morning Caiden and I made a trip into Boston to watch some of BTT's 3rd annual Indoor Time Trial. The last two years I was very involved with this event as BTT's president, so it was nice seeing how it turned out. We had a fun time spectating and catching up with some triathlon friends. Caiden sported his team colors and everything.

And later I got Caiden a few new shirts since he is getting so big so fast! Here are some of his new outfits!

And last but not least, some giggles!!
