6 Months

At his 6 month appointment Caedmon weighs 17 pounds 13 ounces and is 27 and three quarters long.  He is doing really well.  Caedmon is getting more giggly, smiley, and more mobile.  He scoots himself backwards and rolls around.  He can sit up with support or at least for a little bit on his own and then will fall over.  He has been eating solids now for a little over a month.  When it comes to baby food he will pretty much eat anything.  Caedmon is also starting to look at the dog more and smiles at him.  He will sleep at night from about 8PM to anywhere from 6 to 7AM.  Caedmon is generally a happy baby and mommy and daddy love him so much.

Get in my Belly.....

Silly Boy

This post is about some silly things Caedmon has done. First of all he has started rolling around more and being more mobile.  He has been doing the backstroke where he scoots himself backward.  So we are in trouble now. 

He absolutely loves his bouncer thingy.  Here is a video of him in his bouncer.  He doesn't necessarily jump up and down but he likes to go forward in it.

And speaking of going forward in it, more recently he has really gotten into bouncing so hard that in this pic you will see I had to put DVD cases on the back of the thing because he was lifting the back of it off of the floor.  

One time I heard him whining in his crib after waking up from a nap that I found him like this.  LOL!!

Hungry Hungry Hippo

Within the last couple of weeks we have started feeding Caedmon baby food.  We started out by having him eat rice cereal and oatmeal cereal but he really doesn't seem to like the cereals.  And they don't really agree with him because every time we gave him cereal then he would have trouble sleeping.  So we decided to quit the cereals and introduce him to baby foods.  So far we have introduced Caedmon to green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, bananas, and carrots and is eating them all like a champ.  He is definitely a Hatke.  And tonight he had squash for the first time and as usual downed it in no time.  He is so funny when he eats because when he sees a spoonful of food or a bottle he gets really excited and opens his mouth real wide.

The Day of Firsts

Easter day it seemed like a day of firsts.  Or at least I just wanted to call this post something other than Caedmon's first (fill in the blank).  So of course it was Caedmon's first Easter.  We went to Lafayette for the day to great grandma's house and grandma and grandpa Hatke's house.  For Easter they gave him a swing.  Below is a video of him in the swing for the first time.

The other firsts are we found him in his crib on his stomach that morning.  He had rolled from his back to his stomach for the first time.  And he wore shoes for the first time.

Here are some other pictures from Easter.

 Also the previous weekend we attended an Easter "Begg" Hunt for Tyson.  It is an Easter egg hunt for dogs.  And all of the eggs have dog treats in them and a coupon to this dog bakery in town.  It is pretty comical seeing all these dogs there looking for eggs.  Tyson actually finds a couple but mainly we find them for him.  Some dogs actually find the eggs and then paw at them getting the treats out right away.
