A place to call his own

Well, Caid officially has a place to call his own!

He spent his first night in his crib and did awesome!  I even managed to make it through the night without worrying about him the whole time!  Granted, we did stay up much later than usual to make sure he was settled in okay, and I made Jon go check on him one last time, and then one last time, and then for real one last time :)

He also must have gotten his dose of wheaties this morning because look how big and strong he is this afternoon!! This is a recent development in that it's the longest/highest we've seen him hold his head up!

Tough Day at the Office

Well, it's hard to say whether Caid has settled in to his new environment!  

You take a look and decide for yourself!

I think he is definitely cozy in his new home away from home!  I sure love having him with me all day long, and he is getting lots of love from my coworkers!  It's so fun having two new babies in the office and they've already brightened the mood!  The other baby, a little girl, is 4 weeks younger than Caid, and is super cute as well! I'm one blessed momma to get to see my guy all day even if it does create more work or stress at times!

Here is Caid and his Papa on their first day to work - Monday, August 20.   

Love these handsome fellas!

Camping with Caid!

This weekend, we decided at the last minute to join my mom/John at Lake Wilson.  We'd thought about heading down there Friday evening, but with cooler nighttime temps and a good chance of rain Friday evening and all day Saturday at Wilson, we decided that would not be ideal weather for Caid!

However, Saturday came, and the weather was beautiful in Stockton.  After a morning of birding, Jon got home and immediately said, "call your mom and ask what the weather is doing!"  Turns out, after a raining morning at the lake, it had turned into a gorgeous day there as well.  So Jon and I packed up our gear and headed out!

Mom and I had decided that 4 adults, a 2 month old and 4 dogs were just too many beings for a camper, so Jon and I, without hesitation, decided to tent! It was going to be awesome!

So, remember I said we were just SURE it was going to be awesome to tent with a 2 month old??? well.... that was before I remembered how WINDY it usually is in Kansas, and before I realized how COOL it was going to be at night!  BUT, despite the wind trying its best to keep Caid awake, our family prevailed!  We lulled Kincaid to sleep in his car seat after he decided 10pm was a good time to be wide awake :) and, not only did he happily fall asleep around 11, he also slept until 6:45am!

Kincaid - well rested and ready to go at 6:45am!
