Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday we took Kaden for his 4-month check up. We're a little behind on that. The doctor said that developmentally he's right on target. However, his food intake is needing to be increased because he hasn't gained that much weight since the last time I took him in. He is currently below the third percentage for his age, which means he's a tiny little guy. But, we go back in two weeks for a weight check. Hopefully then he will have gained at least a few ounces if not a pound or two. Currently he stands at 11lbs. 4oz. Tiny, I know. So we're bumping up his formula from 4oz to 6oz a feeding along with cereal/applesauce.

Some new things with me as well. I am currently filling out job applications in the area for a part time job. So far the candidates are Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Family Christian Store, Old Navy, Target, and Best Buy. The only reason I want to get a job is so that we can have a little more cash in hand. We are making right now just on Jimmie's job, but I think that we would both feel better if we had just a little more to help. With that comes the part about what to do with the baby. Well, Jimmie's mom, Debra lives about an hour away from us and has agreed to watch him about once or twice a week. Jimmie's step-mother's mother Marilyn has also agreed to watch him whenever it is needed. And Jimmie can watch at night when he comes home from work. At this age we are still skeptical about putting him in a daycare center. You never know if you can trust those kind people.

I just pray everything works out already for everyone!

Catching Up

Wow, I am not really good at keeping up with this blog. But I promise I'll try to do better in the future.

The holidays were great. Kaden and I were able to spend a week in San Antonio to visit my family down there. It was so great to be around them. They were also excited to see him and how much he's grown.

It is so exciting that Kaden is now 5 months old. He seems to be showing signs of getting ready to crawl like this picture here.


He's been sleeping this way ever since he could turn himself over in his cradle. It's so cute!!!!



Tuesday, we are taking him to the doctor for his over due shots from last month and of course a regular check up. Hopefully it won't be as bad as the last time he got his shots and that Jimmie will be able to go with us.

I have also recently found a La Leche League group in the area that i hope with be helpful in getting to know some people and also with this decrease in milk supply issue that I've been having for about a month now. I am not willing to give up on it yet, even though I have had to supplement him everyday except morning and evening feedings. Hopefully this group will be able to give me some pointers and some support.
