Our Baby is 5 Months!

I can't believes Kaden is 5 months! Time has flown by, I know that I probably say that every month but I just can't believe that he is almost 1/2 a year old! He has been so much fun this last month! He is learning how to sit up, he can do it for a few minuets or until he realizes that nobody is there supporting him. He is still Mr. Smiley! He has such a cute personality, as well as a strong willed personality! We have been trying to get him to sleep in his pack & play vs. the swing (we were going through a pack of D batteries from Costco about every other week, and let me tell you that those things are not cheap!), this has been such a challenge. The first time that we put him in the crib he cried for exactly 1 hour and 50 min! Let me tell you how heart wrenching it was to hear him cry for that long. The next night it only took him 40 min. after that he would go down and would just talk to himself until he fell asleep, and let me tell you it was wonderful to not hear him cry. Well he did great for about 2 weeks, and now all of the sudden he is back to crying him self to sleep. He doesn't cry as long as the first time but he cries for about 20-40 min. if Jake doesn't give in. Jake is such a softy and can't stand to hear him cry. I keep telling him that he is never going to get better if he knows that his daddy will just come and get him. Well, other then the whole sleeping in his bed he has been so good, he is so fun to be around and will lighten up any one's day! I can't say it enough- We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little boy!

And we are so excited to announce that Kaden has his first cousin! For all of you who know my brother Jay and his wife just had their first little boy! He is healthy and Nicole is also doing great! His name is Olen Jay, he is adorable. We can't wait to be able to go and meet the little guy!
