4 weeks old!

I can't believe how fast time goes! Wishing it would slow down doesn't help at all in fact I swear it only makes him grow faster! Kade is getting more and more fun. He is becoming so aware of things around him. He will follow us with his eyes when we move its so cute. I love it when he looks at me. Sometimes it seems like he wants to say something. Boy he is the cutest boy ever! He has been such a good sleeper! We have been working on a schedule a little bit. Not to the point where we don't feed him if he is hungry but we just try to be consistent with him and the schedule just kind of works itself out. I don't know how to explain it but the book baby wise sure is amazing! Anyways, the last 4 nights he has only gotten up once to eat. It usually is around the same time. Last night it wasn't so I thought he was going to get up twice but he just slept extra long after he ate. He is such a good boy we are so blessed to have him!

So I have mentioned before that Kade sleeps with his arms up like this. My sister in law said that she heard that meant babies are secure when they sleep like that and really that thrills me to know that he is secure. But his hands and arms are always ice cold! We put him in long sleeves at night but his hands are still cold. Its not that he just likes to sleep with his hands up, he cant stand having them in blankets. We have tried putting little receiving blankets over his arms when they are up and he gets his arms out. We have tried wrapping the blankets around his arms, he gets them out. We have tried putting socks over his hands, get gets them off!! He just hates having his arms and hands covered silly boy! Sometimes he even kicks his blanket off like in the picture above. But I think that is just from his usual kicking. We have a space heater in there but the rest of him is warm its just his hands. I figure if he was really that cold he would wake up right? Anyways I just wanted to share that because its so funny how much he hates his arms in.


Kade also loves his bath time! I have video of it but I don't know how to put it on the blog yet. He usually plays in there for about a half an hour he loves it so much. But he HATES the lotion part! He screams harder that ever when we are putting lotion on him.

Sometimes when Kade is sleeping he makes these hilarious faces! HE looks all scrunched up like he is about to cry and then goes suddenly relaxed. It is so funny! It doesn't sound funny but when we get it on video I will have to prove it to you ha! Its hard to get it on video!

We just love this little boy so much! I love being a mom! It really is the most rewarding thing in life! I know I don't have much to go off of yet but I love it already! I know it will be challenging at times but that's what makes it so rewarding right? I have always wanted to be a mom. Its always been my dream. I was thinking last night that all I care about it being a good mom. I don't want to let my projects or a dirty house take priority over my kids. I know that is so much easier said than done and you have to find balance in everything. But I always want my kids to know that they are the most important thing in my life. Family really is all that matters. Everything else in life is for family. We go to work to provide for our family, you go school to get a good job to provide for your family and so on. I know there will be times that I will get overwhelmed and say what was I thinking! But hopefully I will always remember how I feel about the importance of family and I wont put anything else first.
