Cade: 2 Months


At 2-months-old, Cade continues to live his life with ease.  Which in turn, also makes life much easier for us!  I find myself hugging and kissing him constantly.  There's a definite different "feeling" with a son.

This boy is 23 inches long and weighs 11 pounds.  He's below average in both measurements, but is a very healthy baby.  Out of newborn clothes and into size 3 months.

It's only been 2 months and it is amazing to watch all the exciting changes happening.  Cade is much more alert.  His senses are in high gear as he listens, watches, and feels the world around him.  He is such a happy baby!  His favorite activity thus far is looking right in your eyes and chatting with you.  Also, he shows great independence when being placed on the rug or his bouncy seat.


I prayed for a better sleeper and I think we got one.  He is awake for about an hour and naps 1.5 to 2 hours.  He enjoys his bed and isn't too difficult to get back to sleep if he gets startled mid-nap.  At night he wakes up once for a feeding.  Good news: He went 8 hours between feedings 2 nights in a row.  Yes, we are getting closer to a full nights rest!  Big Praise!

He likes being swaddled during sleep times with sound (white noise) and a paci.

Cade is really starting to use his voice and the smiles are endless.  Like his big sister at this age, his most common phrase is "ahh-goo".

Cade saying, "Ahh-goo".

No excessive spitting up.  More praise!

A couple favorite activities include: Bath time and interacting with his sister.  He thinks she's pretty great!  (Besides the moments that she lays on him and puts her crazy curly hair in his face).

Halloween was pretty mellow for this 2-month-old.  He hung out in the stroller and a few family members arms as we walked the block for trick-or-treating.


Looking forward to Thanksgiving and spending time with family.  Everyone enjoys his mellow demeanor.  Most common way that people describe him: "Easy-going".

Cade makes my job easy as his Mommy.
