Father's Day Fun

It has been a little while since our last post. Above is a picture from Father's Day of our little family. Uncle Mike and Aunt Melissa were kind enough to have us over to their house. They met Cadel for the first time along with his cousins Shauna and Zach. Great-grandma was also there along with a visit from Dominic. Quite the little family gathering.
Since our last post Cadel has been getting bigger everyday and sleeping a little longer at night. Good news for Erin and I. Of course once he starts teething the sleepless nights will start all over again. He can also hold up his head up on his own for quite a while. He loves showing off his big blue eyes these days.
Tomorrow Mom and Cadel get to go spend some time with Murat, Natalia and Maya. I'm sure it will be fun.

Not so little anymore

Today Mom took Cadel to his third doctor's appointment to check on his progress. He has grown two inches since being born three weeks ago. He has also put on some serious weight.
Our little guy was only 6 pounds 5 ounces when he left the hospital on May 24th. Today on June 15th he is now 8 pounds 7 ounces! What a weight gaining champ. That is 34 ounces in three weeks.
At this rate he will be bigger than dad by the time he hits first grade.

Unfortunately the next doctor's appointment at the end of July will not be as pleasant. He is scheduled for his first round of shots then. We are already getting the ear plugs ready. We are sure he won't be shy when it comes to showing his displeasure with the situation.

Cadel's big Friday Night and Saturday afternoon

Friday night was Cadel's first big night out on the town. Mom, Dad and Cadel met the Berringers for sushi in San Rafael. Everyone had a great time. Elizabeth showed off her newly acquired edamame eating skills while Erin and Kfir shared sushi with Todd an Jackie.

On Saturday the Lindheim family, including Scarlett, went to the Fairfax Festival. Cadel was able to meet Erin Garvey and Raf for the first time. The weather was fantastic. Not too hot and not too cold with a mix of sun and light clouds. We enjoyed the weather, food, art and music before heading home. Quite a busy weekend for little Cadel. Today we are heading out to do some shopping then relaxing to end the weekend.

Enjoying the weather on a Saturday afternoon

Yesterday Mom, Dad, Cadel and Scarlett took a nice walk along the Fawn Ridge trail. The weather was beautiful but little Cadel decided to nap the entire walk. The Bob Revolution stroller Uncle Nate and Sunny bought for Cadel worked great. It would be hard to walk the offroad trails without it. We'll probably take another walk today to get everyone some fresh air and exercise.
Cadel was up most of the night last night so he'll probably sleep the entire walk again but at least Mom, Dad and the the dog can enjoy the weather and the view.

Getting bigger everyday

Today Cadel had his second doctor's appointment. In his 10 days of life Cadel has already gained 12 ounces. That is quite a pace he is setting. He now weighs in at a trim 7 lbs 1 ounce or 3.2 kilograms for those of you on the metric system.
His next check up is in two weeks when he will be a month old. Time is flying by already. Next thing we know he will be heading off to college.
