He is already a 5 weeks old!!!!

Crazy to think that little baby Cade is now 5 weeks old!! And let me tell you... He just keeps growing faster and faster!

Caren and I went to the hospital the other day and while we were there we weighed our little baby. It turns out that he isnt quite so little anymore! he is now 9.8 lbs! And that was about 5 days ago! But we werent very suprised. He is a hungry boy! He has a cute outfit that says it all... it says "Milk Monster" on it! We always smile when we see him wear it :)

Things are going pretty well for the most part. He is usually in a pretty good mood. We have found out that dairy products make his little tummy hurt. So Caren has to be careful with all that. Mexican may or may not hurt his tummy we havent quite figured it out yet. But hopefully it turns out to be something else (for Caren's sake). He is losing his hair starting in the front and moving back. So right now he has this nice soft hair, but its only in the back of his head :) It looks pretty funny. Its kind of a modified mullet!!! Poor guy! He is also getting a little thicker, not chubby yet mind you, just thicker.

I went back to work last night. It was pretty tough for me. I am excited to be back, but I miss my little family. Caren will be returning to work part time starting in December. She will then be back full time starting in January. Just in time for Tax Season! She is not looking forward to it. I know you all find it hard to believe, but Caren is in "Stay at home mom" mode! But at this point in our lives we think its smarter for Caren to keep working. Our schedules should allow us to only need a babysitter 1 day a week. So keep us in your prayers while we try to figure this out.

So now for a cute story:
Caren had a bowl of ice cream a couple nights back. It upset Cade's stomach and he was crying like a..... well, like a baby! We could'nt calm him down so after about 10 minutes Caren took him into the nursury and started rocking him. A couple minutes later Eisa trots into the room and drops something into Carens lap. It was Cade's pacifier!!!! Eisa just dropped it on Carens lap and looked up at her like, "Here you forgot this!" It was the most adorable thing ever!! The dogs are still doing great with him though. They look out for him and lay next to him all the time.

Well thats it for now. Hope you are all doing well. We have some new pics but I cant put them up at the moment because I am on work. I know I know. I should be out there catching criminals. But it is raining and cops melt in the rain :) Love you all!
