More high chair time

Caiden was having fun the other day playing with toys in the high chair. I think he really likes being able to sit but be at eye level with us.

Sophie has become the favorite chewing toy around here.

Outside time

Now that the weather is getting a little better it's easier to get outside with Caiden. The ground is still wet, so we set up on the driveway for some play time. We've also been taking him out in the BOB stroller for walks and runs more often. He can sit facing front now, which he likes.

Bounce Bounce

Caiden is starting to get how this thing works!

Goodbye, Arden Street

As of yesterday morning we no longer own the Allston condo. We are SO GLAD to be done with it and learned a thing or two about the home selling process (avoid it at all costs) (just kidding).

We made a quick visit over there this weekend to do a final once-over. We had some serious grievances about that place and selling it was a nightmare, but it was a little sad saying goodbye. At the end of the day it was our first house purchase, it was where we lived when we got married, it was where we brought our baby home to, it was Caiden's first home. There were so many good memories there, and hopefully now that the sale is done those are the things we will remember.

Caiden says goodbye to his first bedroom!

 

Family Man

What a fun weekend- lots of family time! My Grandmother and Aunt Dana came to visit from Pennsylvania. We spent lots of time with them and the Keery family (who live nearby in Weston).

On Friday Caiden spent the day at the Keery house with everyone, I joined them after lunch

On Saturday everyone came over to our house for dinner. Caiden loved all the attention.

Here is our "4 generations" photo

And on Sunday we spent a few hours back at the Keery house. Caiden already misses everyone... come back soon please!!

High baby

We made a stop at Chipotle on Saturday and decided to try Caiden out in a high chair.

It was a hit, so when we got home Dan assembled the high chair that Grandpa Jack and Grandma Madeline gave us at our baby shower.

He had fun playing with his toys while I had breakfast. In a few short weeks he'll be sitting in here to eat!

Teething?

Caiden has been a little grumpy for a few days. Just about a week actually. He had a cold over the weekend but we think maybe something else is going on because he is extra fussy right now. He is not drooling very much, but we're thinking it might be teeth. Actually, we are just hoping it's teeth. And hoping that it breaks through soon and that our little guy goes back to his happy self.

He is so close to rolling over from back to front. If he is lying down and hears something behind him he will arch and turn and gets so close to flipping over. Here we were trying to coax him by putting my phone within view. Electronics trump all toys, but even the coolness of the phone did not motivate him enough.

We don't swaddle him at night anymore. Over the last month we've been weaning him from it, going from full swaddle to single arm swaddle, to body wrap with free arms. Unfortunately free arms mean face scratches, as he has a tendency to bat at his face during the night. It's getting better though as he gets used to sleeping swaddle free. We also stopped giving him a pacifier at bedtime. He chats to himself for a while, sometimes cranks for a minute, but falls asleep by himself easily.
