big big...

The week of January 28th, Caden turned 27 weeks old, and that Monday he had his 6 month check up. He weighed in at 18 lbs 6 oz and measured 27.5" long. That put him at the 62nd % for weight and 82nd % for height. He's tracking at the same height that Zane was at the same age, but 11 oz heavier. I'm curious to see how long their heights will match like this! Everything else at his check up was good, and his doctor said she expected him to go 6-8 hours for his one long stretch, but his colds could very easily throw that off. So Caden's varying sleep pattern wasn't a concern to her... Just his sleepy mama :)


He got one oral vaccine, and that offends him way more than I expect it to. He was appalled again about the rest of his vaccines, including his very first flu shot, that went into his sweet chubby legs. He recovered relatively quickly and was snoozing by the time we made it to daycare. I'm pretty sure he told Miss Brenda about how I held his arms down while the nurse poked him with needles once he woke up though!


Caden also added pears and bananas to his expanding food repertoire.


At dinner one night, Zane announced that he is a dancer. We had a fun conversation about dancing and arrived at the conclusion that we needed some tunes while we ate. I found out the next morning that they'd had a big dance party, and Zane broke out some awesome dance moves. I'm taking credit for that because of our weekend (and occasionally weekday) morning dance parties!


Over the weekend, we got Zane's big bed ready for him. It has cool new vehicle sheets and the guard rail is up! He took a nap in it on Saturday before we went to have our family pictures taken and slept in it again that night.


The boys did great for the pictures, and its great to see that a professional can't get them to both look at the camera at the same time either. :) one advantage to being so behind on posts is that we have the pictures already to include!


Due to a recruiting trip and flights scheduled around the Super Bowl, it was just the boys and me that Sunday. We ended up skipping soccer that morning for a Caspar Babypants concert with some of his friends from school. Zane was oh so excited about it!


Later on, we went by the old house to take down all of the blue tape I had put up when painting over the stripes in Zane and Caden's old room. Zane had fun with the big balls of tape and had Caden laughing hysterically by tossing them around.
