The other day I was just commenting on how our little guy must be big for his age because he's already wearing 3 month clothes... well... not really, he's already 2 months old! It seemed I just blinked and the past month flew by in an instant. He's still my chunky monkey though...
Caden can already do so many new things! He's getting really good at holding his head up by himself for a long period of time, standing on his strong legs, moving his arms all around and kicking his feet when he's excited. He's talking a lot more now too. "Ah goo" and "Ah gee" seem to be his favorite words right now. He's laughing and squealing with delight all the time. I just love this little guy :) We have truly been blessed with such a good baby. He cries when he's hungry, tired, or has a gas bubble. Honestly, I would too if I couldn't communicate that any other way.
We did find out that Caden has "mild to moderate" hip dysplasia in both hips. That just means his hip sockets did not form properly. I had it as a baby and Cameron has it as well. The dysplasia was caught in my hip as an infant and I wore a brace to correct it. Cameron had surgery to correct one of his hips in 2008. From what we have read, the brace is the most common form of treatment in infants and has been 90% effective in the studied cases. We will consult with a specialist on Thursday to see what course of treatment Caden will undergo.
I go back to work on Thursday afternoon, so that may prove to be an emotional day. Just hoping I can keep it together during a presentation I'm supposed to give that day as well. Maybe everyone will listen more intently as I try to talk through the sobbing... We are very blessed that my parents are keeping him during the day. I know that I would be even more of a mess if I had to leave him with people I didn't know. We will all adjust quickly I'm sure - now if I can just get up early enough in the morning...
Here's a few happenings from the past month...
Visit from the cousins! Somehow I didn't end up with a Kendall pic :(

Mom caught a cute pic with Kendall...you'll have to get it from her. Love you, little man!!
I hope your first day back went ok. I cried like a baby my first day back last year. It's rough at first, but it does get better. Hang in there!
