truck!

February 4th, Caden turned 28 weeks. It was a fairly busy week, and I hardly took any pictures! He did go through a serious feeding frenzy for about 36 hours though. He was already growing fast enough!

Our new neighbors moved in next door on Wednesday, so we got to ogle the moving van before and after school. I had a tough time getting Zane to walk away from it in the morning. In the evening, Zane sat at his little table by the window so that he could watch them finish unloading and then drive away while he ate his dinner. It was a big compromise to get him inside, and I was lucky he was hungry, otherwise we would have been standing out there much longer!

Zane started saying, "NO! I don't want to!" much more often both at home and school. I think he was preparing for turning 3.

We had quite the adventure one morning when our printer temporarily broke, just while I was trying to print out invitations for Zane's birthday party. We managed to swing by the UPS store with our bright card stock in hand on our way to school. We put an invitation in all of his friends' cubbies, and from that day on, Zane asked me if today was his party at least twice a day.

Caden moved into his own room at night and out of the pack 'n play. It didn't make his sleep any more or less predictable! He also tried out apples and green beans for the first time.

We wrapped up the week with a play date with our new friend Nataly on Saturday, and on Sunday the three boys spent some quality time together while I finished up the rest of the touch up paint and little projects at the old house to get it ready to lease. So Caden got to nap on the couch:
