Kaiden,
I can’t even believe it. You’re 6 months old today. 6 whole months. That’s half a year. Happy Half Birthday!
You are so amazing! This month’s update is a big one…I want to make sure to remember exactly how you were at 6 months. My little baby….*sighs*

Kaiden took a break from solid foods for almost a week because he was all raspy and we were slightly concerned that it might have been a food allergy. But it went away (and we’ll keep an eye for it when we try sweet potato or avocado again just in case).
Since then, he has had carrots, peas, and green beans. He loved the carrots, after the first try he loved the peas and the green beans are just mediocre at best. He eats solid food 3 times a day, and goes through a small jar of food in 2 days. He would probably eat more each time, but we want him to get used to it a little at a time. He has his 6 month appointment on Thursday, so I kind of want to get the go ahead from our doctor (even though he’s really old school and is probably going to give me crap about not giving Kaiden cereals or any kind)
My mother thought it was weird not having Kaiden eat cereal first, but he loves his food so I don’t need to worry. And he’s getting his iron from the breastmilk still. I think she’s coming around…I hope.

I was so excited I had 2 things in my inbox…and then found they were both spam. *sighs*

So instead of struggling with the avocado at dinner last night (Kaiden was in a bad mood because he refused to nap), we tried some sweet potato. I know you’re supposed to wait 3-5 days between new foods, but we decided to try anyway. Kaiden LOVED it!!! He ate 7 or 8 spoons of it for dinner. This morning he had another 5 or 6 spoons. He smiles between bites, and ‘helped’ pull the spoon to his mouth. SO impressed by my little man. So sweet potatos are a hit. Two more days of them, and we’ll be trying either banana or green beans.
Kaiden’s growing up so quickly. Man oh man!

R loves avocado too… warning: it looks the same coming out as going in.
Thanks for the warning…I was wondering that.
That is a lot for the first try. Avocado is still Olivia’s favorite.
Yeah, I thought he did great. He had 2 more spoons this morning. I have never eaten avocado, so I don’t know if it tastes bad to him or not. He gave me a look like it was sour this morning. Although, I don’t know if it was all that ripe. The peel didn’t come off very easily. My first try of avocado was last night when I was making it for him, so I don’t know what it’s supposed to taste like. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t keep very long. Any tips?

Kaiden has his first solid food today. We were planning on waiting until his 6 month appointment and discuss things with our doctor…but he has been crazy active, sits on his own, and always wants to “stand/dance/walk” while holding our hands. He’s so freaking cute.
We tried avocado. He loved it. He had 4 big bites…I know that’s not a lot, but we were happy about it with being his first taste of real food and all. He didn’t spit any of it out, and smiled as he was going.
I can’t believe he’s almost 6 months old already…he’s growing so quickly. *sighs*

Started off not so great, with Kaiden not sleeping well. He woke up at 11, 2, 4, 6, then I changed his diaper, fed him and he was being noisey and whatnot until about 7 so I woke up to give him his soother…and realized that he had leaked out of his diaper. Changed him, and brought him to see my hubby while I took his sheets out of the crib. I fed him a bit again and then hubby took Kaiden downstairs and let me sleep until 9. Then I was woken up with a smiley baby and breakfast in bed. There was so much food…pancakes, homefries, sausage, 2 eggs, toast and juice :) I didn’t finish it all but it was amazing!!
I got to relax for most of the day (even though I wanted to do a load of Kaiden’s laundry so I could wash his sheets), then we went for a walk, and hoped Kaiden would nap for a bit. He didn’t. Hubby gave me some flower cupcake things…(picture to come later)…instead of real flowers…so I could eat them! :D I also got an “IOU” for a rose bush, but he wants me to go pick it out. So we’re going to do that next weekend.
My parents came over around 4 and helped us put the cover back onto the gazebo thing, and then we had a fantastic dinner…pork roast, baked potato slices with cheese, corn on the cob, fresh buns, and a garden salad. Oh, and a glass of reisling. Soooooo good. Then we had the cupcakes, ice cream and nanaimo bars and tea for dessert.
It was a fantastic day!!! :D

Kaiden is in his swing, and he’s talking to himself…or the wall. It’s so freaking cute. He should be napping in his crib, but that didn’t work so he’s down here now. We have swimming in a bit, I know he’ll fall asleep after that while we’re out with the girls and their babies.
Haha I just can’t get enough of his talking. he is fake coughing too, and laughing. LOL Oh man I wish I had a videocamera.

Friday was awesome. Kaiden and I went swimming, then we had playgroup at our house. There were 7 of us and babies and it was great. I love these girls, and we get along like we’ve known each other forever. Our group is slowly growing…it used to be 3 of us and now the “invite” goes out to 9. The babies are all between 3 and 7 months so it’s fantastic. We talk about anything and everything and it’s amazing. I can’t wait for our Friday get-togethers every week :D
Sunday was my grandma’s 90th birthday. We had a “party” at my parents’ house. It was great to see some of my great aunts/uncles and cousins for a happy occasion (normally it’s funerals). My grandma was so happy to see everyone, but she was exhausted afterwards. I baked and iced 50 cupcakes….mmmmmm so yummy! Kaiden got to meet everyone and was a big ham for everyone and it was really cute. He was dancing, talking and giggling, and just being so super cute.

Dear Kaiden,
I love that you have been sleeping pretty well lately, only getting up 2 times a night for the most part. I love that you play quietly in your crib for 20-30 min after you wake up. BUT, I don’t like that you have taken to waking up at 5:30-6am and then fussing for an hour, and then falling back asleep. While you’re awake for that hour, so am I. Then I can’t get back to sleep. It’s 9am and you’re still sleeping after being awake from 5:20-6:40. While you were awake, I changed you, fed you, gave you your soother, gave you your teddy, fed you again…but nothing worked. Eventually I picked you up and rocked you in your chair and you fell back asleep. Really, that was all it was going to take?! If I would have known that I would have done it earlier. If you’re so tired that you sleep for 2.5 hours after you wake up, then don’t fight sleep for that hour.
I love you regardless, I just don’t get it sometimes.
On the up side, today is supposed to be beautiful. We have swimming in 2 hours, and then after lunch your friends are coming over. Grandma and Grandpa opened their pool yesterday…I can’t wait for it to be warm enough for us to head there for the day. I also really hope we can save enough money to make the trip out to New Brunswick this summer to see your other Grandpa and meet all your cousins. I know they all want to meet you out there. This Sunday is your Great-Grandma’s 90th birthday. All of your (my) cousins are super excited to finally meet you as well.
I guess while you’re still asleep I should tidy up a bit for our friends this afternoon. I love you, and love how much you’re growing and changing every day. Your smile and laugh are contagious, and you make my heart melt.
Love,
Mommy
