First Fire Pics

So here is Caidan at 8 months! I know I know too cute... you can tell me all about it! :) He is growing faster than I know what to do... its kind of sad!

Leap and bounds!

We had fun with Photobooth!!! :)

My son is growing by leaps and bounds and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!?

Caidan can do all the following:

Rollover (front and back)

Hold his own bottle

Eat Cherrios whole and by himself

Crawl (like speed racer)

Pull himself up on anything (even a wall)

Stand for a few seconds by himself (only if he does it)

Sleeps ALL night! (Thank you Lord Jesus)

He pulls his legs to his chest in his play pen

Smiles uncontrollably

Knows the word NO (and chooses to ignore you)

Climbs the stairs

Trying to be sneaking and feed the dogs cherrios 

Waves Bye-Bye

Sits in a big boy carseat

Wears a size 4 shoe

Says Mama and Dada and a whole bunch of other things I'm sure mean something

Sometimes I miss those moments where they just don't do anything but I really love to watch him grow but its just sooo fast!!1

13 weeks!

EDIT: I know everyone wants to know if we are having a boy or a girl but we have decided not to find out. I was not to excited about it at first but now I am excited. I don't care wether its a boy or a girl. I want a boy for a reason and I want a girl for a reason but either way I don't care. So we will wait and see....


Don't they say when you get to the second trimester that the "morning sickness" is supposed to go away??? I beg to differ! I am actually getting better. Each day is different- I still vomit every morning- I still can't eat ice cream, cookies, pop, anything with a lot of sugar- I'm still on medicine. I am trying to get myself off but I know I still need it- I am still going to the doctor every two weeks. Last doctor visit I found out I had a some sort of bladder infection. They gave me medicine but I decided not to take it because I feel like I am on so much medicine already (and it made me vomit A LOT!) I am in bed every night after I put Caidan to bed (7:30). I wake up at 3:30am every morning and toss and turn for 2 hours until I finally get to sleep and then Chris' alarm goes off and for the next hour I am pushing the snooze button and by the time he gets up Caidan is getting ready to wake up.

This pregnancy doesn't even feel like I am pregnant maybe its because I have Caidan to think about and handle every day and it feels like its going so ssssslllllloooooowwww! I am looking pregnant- when you have your second one you just pop out all of a sudden. But who cares?? Here are two pictures since you asked- you an see my lovely stretch marks from my son... :) YUM!

Giggle boy!

I started squirting Caidan with this toy tonight and he just started giggling... I had to share!!!

Caidan Kisses!

Caidan learned how to give kisses and it is the cutest thing in the world!

Caidan at Easter

I know he was cute a little bit ago but look at these.....

What have I wished for?

So this week Caidan learned to sit up on his own and pull himself up on EVERYTHING. Now I really wanted him to do both of those things... and now i wish he still just rolled and kid of crawled. Typically  our playtime involves Caidan climbing on the couch, falling on his head (he doesn't understand that he has to balance himself), crying or screaming, me telling him he is okay, and him doing it all over. And he has to be going every minute of every day... unless he is sleeping. And with learning to pull himself up he has become an excellent crawler- which for a parent involves the word no a million times  a day. But I am learning to pick my battles. If its something that I don't really want him to have but its not going to hurt him WHY NOT? He's not screaming and its quit in the house. 

I also told my job today that I won't becoming back. Being pregnant and sick I couldn't imagine working and even the thought of Chili's food just makes me want to vomit. And honestly these past 5 weeks that I have been home all the time with Caidan has made me realize that I don't want to miss out on all the things he is learning. He is talking so much more. Just a week ago the only thing he was saying was Gagagagaga (which I think was dog) now he says lalalala and Mananama (which we think his Mama) and Nadanadanada (which we think is dad). 

Well here are pictures of Baby #2.

This is when the baby was 7 weeks and 4 days.

This is from last week 9 weeks 4 days!

Baby's due date is September 26th!
