Caden 90 Day Update
Jul 27th 2010AdamBaby Updates & Caden
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!

Caden seems to be adjusting to life in the outside world well. When we left the hospital he weighed 8 lbs, 1 oz. At his one week appointment he was up to 8 lbs, 10 oz. And just last week at his one month appointment he was up to a whopping 11 lbs, 2 oz! That is a 30% increase in just three weeks time! Of course all of this weight gain makes sense seeing as instead of eating 3-4 ounces of food like a normal one month old, he likes to eat 5-6 ounces. That is as much as a 6 month old would normally eat! Needless to say, he is taking after his Daddy in the eating department. But the doctor says it is fine, and there is no such thing as feeding him too much at this stage. While I know he is still a little baby, I can’t help but to feel like he is growing way to fast. We have had him for only five weeks and I already find my self missing when he was a “little” baby.
As for Erin and I we too are doing good as well. Erin goes back to work next week and I have no doubt it will be extremely difficult for her to leave her little man all day. We have tried to get into some sort of system the past few weeks, but it has been hard. We take turns getting up in the middle of the night, and by morning we are both usually delirious with exhaustion. But it is getting better, Caden is sleeping longer, and we have had no shortage of advice from friends and family on how to do things. I think before long we will have a schedule and a system that works for us and we can hopefully get back to real life again. Right now it feels like we have been locked up for weeks with nothing but baby stuff going on. Although we did have a great Memorial Day down at the lake last weekend.
