First Bath! He obviously was not a big fan! It will be nice to have his umbilical cord off so he can be all the way in the water!
First time out on a walk! So nice to get out of the house!
July 4th:
Happy 4th of July! We had some friends come over for a little BBQ but mostly just kept Caden away from others. Just a little too soon!
July 6th:
Kathy Fly in! Kerry will come on the 10th and they will both stay here until the 17th! Kathy has been such a blessing! She takes care of Caden in the early mornings so I can get some sleep. It will definitely be weird when she is gone.
Caden Loves to snuggle with Dad!! He falls right
to sleep in his arms!
to sleep in his arms!

July 13th: Chris, Caden, me, grandma/grandpa Huntington and our friends did the kirtland 5k. I walked of coarse! I can't wait till I can start exercising again! Later that day we took Kathy and Kerry to the Amish country and then they took us out to eat. On Sunday we took Caden to church for the first time then we took Kathy and Kerry to the church sites.

July 19th: Becca and Andrew came and stayed for the weekend. Super fun to see them and catch up with them.
July 21st: Chris left for his work Lean Emersion trip! SO SAD! I cried off and on that first day! Even Chris was crying as it was time to say our good byes! So hard, especially now that we have a baby. The next time I will see him will be at the airport on our way to Colorado! So grateful that Jenell is coming in a week! I have been so blessed with great friends here. Christine has been so much help to vent to and last night Kayla and Jeremy came by to do FHE with me and brought me a meal as well. They gave a great lesson on Motherhood! Lots of pictures to come with me being all alone with Caden and Chris wanting a bunch of pictures sent to him every day!
Caden is 1 month old! WE Love YOU CADEN!!! Time is Flying!
I can't believe four weeks has already gone by!! Caden is a joy to have in our lives! There are so many things about him that I just love. I love how he will hold me hand when he is fussy and calm right down....usually! He is such a calm baby, he hardly cries. When he does cry it isn't a loud piercing cry. He usually just grunts. This boy is a growing boy and eats a ton!! We just can't seem to get it to him fast enough. He has been eating usually around 4 oz. sometimes even 5 or 6. I wish formula wasn't so darn expensive! It is funny to me to see the face he makes when he is trying to pooh. He will start grunting a lot and his legs will go straight out. This boy is really strong too. The day he was born he has been able to lift his head up. Sometimes it makes it a little more difficult when I am trying to burp him. He has been looking around a lot more lately. He tends to look at our wedding pictures on our wall most of the time. I think that it is the contrast of my white dress and Chris's black tux. He also has been smiling quite a bit, but not intentionally...it is when he is sleeping. I am excited for when he starts to smile at us. Caden has been sleeping so good lately, which makes me so happy. At night I will feed him at 8 pm and he will be sleeping by 9. The next time he usually wakes up is around 1am and is usually back to sleep within a half hour of feeding and will wake again at 6 am. and goes back to sleep fairly quick again. From there he will wake up about every three hours!! I love this. I was able to get four straight hours of sleep for the past couple of nights!! I hope that this either stays like this or gets even better! Either way I am just grateful for the sleep. He is such a good baby! We love him so much!
So Chris and I have had some weird nights. For those who know Chris, it is not uncommon for Chris to do weird things in the night while sleeping. One night Chris was dreaming that Caden had crawled under the bed. So Chris got up to try to find him. He literally looked under his side of the bed first, then came to my side. After not being able to find him under the bed, Chris woke me up and asked where Caden was. I told him that "he is in bed sleeping and he is fine go back to bed". I think Chris snapped out of it then, checked on Caden and then went back to sleep. haha Another night Chris was dreaming that I was Caden. TWICE in the same night he started rubbing my face, I guess trying to calm "Caden" down. The first time it scared me and I asked "What's wrong"? He snapped out of it and said "Nothing" and went back to sleep. The second time he started rubbing my face I just let him continue to rub until he went back to sleep. haha I thought it was so funny!! Now for my experience, I usually don't do anything weird at night but I did this one night. Caden was crying so I woke up to go feed him. His bed is right next to our bed and instead of picking Caden up, I picked up my pillow. I was so confused why he wouldn't stop crying when I picked "him" up. So I tried to find his face and couldn't find it and that is when I finally realized that I was cuddling the pillow instead of Caden!! haha Nights are never dull at the Huntington house!! haha

July 27th: I am so grateful for the wonderful friends helping me out while I go pick up Jenell. Jenni is coming over to watch Caden while Polly comes with me to pick up Jenell from the Air port. We left around 8:30pm to pick her up!
Yay Jenell is Here!! With a long night we still had to get up early for church! So glad she is here though!
