Wow! One month with our sweet Caden Dasil and let me tell you he is an absolute DREAM baby! One thing Justin always gets nervous about with a new baby is the lack of sleep and the spit up. So much spit up haha. But Caden doesn't spit up much at all!! #blessthischild. He's doing as expected with his sleep and is waking up about every 3-4 hours to eat. However, the great thing about him is he usually goes back to sleep pretty easily after each feed. Oh, and I'm glad he's figured out how to sleep on his own and not in the crook of my arm :). We toyed with the idea of swaddling and it seemed to work for a few nights, but after that he didn't seem to like being confined anymore. We haven't swaddled either of his older brothers so we weren't dead set on it.
Speaking of older brothers. Nolan and Branson still love their little brother more than anything. Nolan loves when Caden comes with me to pick him up from school and always wants to "look at his eyes." Branson is surprisingly gentle with Caden (surprising considering he's a bull in a China shop in every other scenario). Still, I don't completely trust that he knows where Caden is at all times so we try to keep him in our arms or in his rocker, especially if we're not in the room.
Just like his brothers Caden has a little hint of red in his hair and most people seem to think he looks like a brunette Nolan. We're still not sure what color his eyes are going to be. He's growing so fast and is already sized up in diapers and clothes. What?! I can't believe how quickly he plumped up and doesn't look so teeny tiny anymore :( Why, oh why does that happen so darn fast?!
I can't think of much else to say besides the fact that this little one is so very loved and I hope he always knows that. We've only had him for a month, but already can't imagine our family without him. I can't believe I have 3 kids! Oh, which reminds me. Apparently 3 is the number of children at which going to the grocery store, or anywhere really, just seems like too much work. Enter grocery pickup. Game. Changer. It is a glorious thing that I'm sure was thought up by a mom. I can sit on my couch (at midnight if I want) and order groceries, then when the order is ready I get the kids in the car (in pjs and without shoes if that's the kind of morning it's been) pull up to the store, call the number, and someone brings my groceries out and puts them in the trunk for me! I know, right?! Sanity saver.

Sleep deprived parents people .
His brothers love him SO much. Sometimes a little too much, bordering on smothering haha.
Caden's reaction when I tell him this family situation is permanent :).
