Caden's Fourth Month

October was a busy month!  It's hard for me to believe my baby is already 4 1/2 months old.  We are having the best time and are blessed with such a happy baby. Big news for Caden this month. No more harness! We went back to the orthopedic doctor and had new x-rays taken. His hips have shown improvement so we ditched the harness and wear a new hard plastic piece at night to keep his hips in that abducted position. He is so happy to be able to kick around during the daytime. 
Below is a picture from the beginning of the month when he still had his harness. He started drooling like crazy so we think he might be starting the teething process. We went and got his Sophie giraffe and he loves it! 

Caden loves to go grocery shopping with us! He helps keep our coupons super organized (yeah right...)

"And I've had enough now."

Caden is such a happy boy. He loves to giggle and laugh as much as possible! His new favorite noise is to blow raspberries all the time. We have not rolled all the way over yet, but we know that's close! Caden loves to stand up and use his strong legs. He especially loves to lay under a mobile and move his arms and legs as fast as possible! (We're making up for lost time now that we don't have the harness to keep us tied up anymore.) Caden is already a sports fan. He LOVES to watch football and baseball. We've watched lots of games this season outside on Poppy and CiCi's new deck. 

Sometimes he gets VERY focused on the game and does not want to be bothered. 

I've also had some good quality time with my cousin Lainey this month. Now that I don't sleep all the time and I can actually give her some attention too! We watch football together, go to Bible class together, and dress up for Halloween together! We took our 4 month and 7 month pictures at the pumpkin patch at the same time and Miss Lesley took some of our pictures together too. Can't wait to see how they turn out! 

 Notice the drooling I mentioned earlier... :)

Caden kind  of runs on his own schedule right now. He's pretty predictable, but sometimes he throws us off a little. He had an early evening nap that went longer than usual, so he ended up staying up late that night. I think he knew the Cardinals were about to win the World Series! Go Cards!!!
