little penguin

kaden loves to hear aaaahoooo noises and we were trying to caqpture his penguin dance that he does when he hears it! He was of course doing it full force before the camera turned on, but I still think it's precious to see his precious little self get all giggly!



Not only is he my little penguin, but he also seems to be my little night owl lately. We were spoiled with his ability to sleep so soundly through the night, and now he seems to think there are better things to do than to sleep during the night! I have spent the last 4 days ocking him and attempting to put him down in his crib for 4-5 hour stretches at night. Most people would suggest sleep training at this point, and although I still feel he is a little bit too young for that, I will admit I am pondering the idea for all our sanity. I also have been reading about the 4 month wakeful, and I'm wondering if maybe he is getting to it a bit early because he is just so gigantic!

We spent yesterday spending some time at Margarets, the lovely woman who is going to be watching him him two-three days a week when I go back to work. He was so happy to meet his new little friend Noah, who is 8 months and seemed to really adore kaden! Margaret is wonderful, and we are so happy to have found her! After spending some time with the two of us, she commented that she is grateful Chad will be the one dropping him off in the morning as she can't imagine what a mess I will be when I have to say goodbye to him! Just the thought of it makes my tummy hurt! I know it will be good for him, but will it be good for me?


he is so in love with this new toy ball! He holds it wherever we go and it seems to calm him!
