Caden 90 Day Update

It has been a while since the last Caden update, and since today is his 90th day with us I figured it was a good day to put something up. All and all everyone is doing fantastic! Caden is getting bigger and bigger everyday. At his last doctors appointment they said he was in the 97% for height and weight! They also told us to start planning on getting a different car seat since he will outgrow his current one very soon. Right now he eats eight ounces every four hours which is a lot for three months. But he usually only eats four times a day since he has become a RockStar sleeper at night! He usually goes to bed around 9:30 at night, and doesn’t get up to eat again until 8:00AM the next morning and we are all loving that! He is very talkative and smiley, and likes to hang out with his Mom and Dad. It is fun to watch him discover and learn new stuff. Recently he has discovered television and seems to enjoy watching cartoons. Hard to say if it beats his current favorites of ceiling fans and windows, but it is up there. He also seems to really like going to the grocery store. Typically he will sleep in the car, but as soon as we get into the store he is wide eyed and checking everything out.

As I am sure you can guess I have been taking about a million pictures a day of this kid. I have been able to stick to my Caden – 365 plan, taking and posting a picture of him every day. It is crazy to see how much he has changed in just 90 short days. It will be fun to see all 365 when I’m done. If you haven’t been checking you can find them via the link at the top of the page marked Caden – 365. I have also been uploading a ton of them to the Greatlandings Photo Site. So far I have just been adding a couple pretty much every day to the Caden Christopher Carlson album. But since we are approaching 600 photos in there I may have to start another one soon! I have also put a few on Facebook, but they are just a couple off the photo site.

Well that is about it. We could not be happier with our little man and can’t beleive it has been 90 days already. I’m very excited for the next 90 days, and the 90 days after that, and the 90 days after that, etc. Happy 90 day birthday Caden!

Riverfest 2010

Erin, Caden, and I went out to the Scherz river house yesterday for Riverfest 2010! The weather was HOT HOT HOT but we had an awesome time anyway. Good friends, cold drinks, and the Ohio river made for an great day. We played some games, and the kids had a water balloon toss that was a lot of fun. Towards the end of the night Caden let us know he had had enough of Riverfest and was ready to go home so we were not around for the evening festivities. But I understand the party carried on including a nice bonfire, and more cold drinks.

If you can beleive it I brought the camera and took a bunch of pictures. They are mostly of the kids, but you can find them in the usual place on the Greatlandings Photo Site under the Riverfest 2010 album. Thanks to the Scherz to having us out, and thanks to everyone for a great day! We are looking forward to Riverfest 2011!

Lake Trip 7-17-2010

Erin, Caden, and I spent this past weekend at Tom and Kathy’s house on Norris Lake. The rest of the family was busy so it was just the three of us, but we had a great time and had a few friends and neighbors stop over. The weather was hot as all get out and even with a forecast for 50% rain and thunderstorms all weekend it only rained 20 min right before we came home on Sunday. As usual I took some pictures. They are mostly of Caden, but there are a few of Erin and I as well. You can find them in the Lake Trip 7-17-10 album on the Greatlandings photo site.

July 4th, 2010 at Norris Lake

Erin, Caden, and I spent the holiday weekend at Tom and Kathy’s floating house on Norris Lake in TN. The weather could not have been more perfect. The entire time we were there it was hot and sunny! The fireworks were great and Caden slept through the whole show without incident. We even had a cool boat parade where folks decorated their boats and rode around the marina. Afterwords we all went over to Howard and Sandy’s house to give out prizes and celebrate. All and all it was a great weekend and I can’t wait to go back!

As usual I took a bunch of pictures and have uploaded them to the Greatlandings Photo Site. You can find them in the July 4th 2010 album. Thanks to everyone for such a fun time!

Fathers Day at Norris Lake

Erin and I went down to the lake this weekend where I got to have my first Fathers Day ever! It was awesome and I got lots of cards and love from little Caden. He even spent his first night sleeping on the boat with me and really seemed to enjoy it. The weather was great too, it only stormed one time and the rest was 90+ degrees every day. Tom took Karen and Tom fishing on Saturday morning and and they caught three real nice fish. All and all it was a great time and I am looking forward to going back for Fourth of July weekend. Thanks to Tom and Kathy for having us!

As always there are pictures, you can find them on the Greatlandings photo site in the Lake 6-19-10 album.

Photo Tips – File Management

Since I don’t have the Baby Updates to do any more I have been thinking about something new I could write about. One of the things I get a fair amount of  questions on is cameras and photography. Factor in that it is obviously something I personally enjoy (both doing and talking about), and you can see why I thought it would be a great subject. I have a bunch of ideas for some of the posts, which will probably get us going for a little while. But I also think it would be cool if there was some group participation as well. So if there is something you would like to see covered, or you have a question on a topic feel free to email me or post a comment and I will do my best to work it in. One thing I’m not sure I even have to mention is I am going to be talking about digital photography, not film. If you are still using a film camera then much of this will not apply. Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy the new feature. Now on with our first subject!
