Another busy weekend

There seems to be no rest for Cadel on the weekends. The highlight of the weekend? The first Father-Son trip to Home Depot! Dad was sure to point out all the fun items available at the hardware store. It was very good father son bonding.
Cadel needed to have some fun after getting his first round of vaccines earlier in the week. He made it through OK but was not very happy at all. The next round comes in two more months.

Another first this weekend was getting a picture of Cadel with a smile on his face. Cadel has been smiling on a regular basis for a little over two weeks but as soon as he seems a camera the smile goes away. Well yesterday Mom was just sneaky enough to get a picture of him smiling before he saw the camera. As cute as can be don't you think.

The coming weekend will be packed with visitors. Elisabeth, Amy & Bill will be visiting from Houston. Then on Saturday we are heading into San Francisco for Aiden Kirkley's 1st birthday. Hopefully Cadel doesn't sleep through another birthday as he did with Brady a few weeks ago.
See you back here early next week.

Busy weekend & Growing quickly

Cadel had quite the busy weekend. He attended a wedding just outside of Auburn, Ca and then went to a birthday party the next day.
He behaved perfectly for the ceremony and the reception. All the other parents were jealous of our well behaved baby boy. Well... maybe they weren't but we think they were.

Cadel was able to meet some of my good friends from high school and the Edwards. All said had lots of first this weekend. First wedding, first night in a hotel, first road trip (even though it was short)and he got hang out at a lake for the first time.

On Sunday we drove from Auburn down to Oakland to go Zach Lindheim's 2nd birthday. As always Mike and Melissa threw a very fun and family friendly party. Lots of kids, food, paint and smiles to go around. Cadel was able to meet Marion Bar Din and Suzy Lindheim for the first time.

Now the Cadel update:

Today Cadel had his two month check up. Unfortunately that meant starting vaccines. The little guy had four shots. Two in each leg. Mom said he was not happy to say the least but calmed down shortly after the shots were over.
He weighed in at 10lbs 14oz (4.6kg). That is a weight gain of 4 lbs 9oz in just over eight weeks since leaving the hospital. Kathy (his pediatrician) said he looks great. Pictures coming with the next post.
His next round of shots is in two more months.

Daddy daycare

Yesterday was Cadel and Dad day. Mom had a baby shower down in the south bay so Cadel and I went to Brady Flatt's first birthday party. Cadel was nice enough to take a nap for two hours in Brady's crib at the party. This let Dad spend some time with friends I had not seen a little while and even have some food. Cadel impressed everyone with his sleeping skills and Dad was happy he did.
The party was a lot of fun. Lots of little kids and happy parents. Cadel was able to meet some of his future friends. He also was able to meet some people who had not seen him yet.
Before the party we took the dog to the park so she could play and get a little tired before we headed out. Cadel always has fun watching the dogs run around and play.
All around it was a very nice Cadel and Dad day. Can't wait for the next one!

Working out already! Cadel's first push-up

That's right! Little 61/2 week old Cadel just did his first push up. Now he is only 499 push-ups behind how many dad does each day ;).
Next thing you know he'll be biking to and from day care. Even though this is a great development I think it spells the beginning of trouble for Mom and I. First push-ups then rolling over then walking then running.... oh boy.

Cadel's Fourth of July!

Cadel made the drive out to Danville for the fourth of July to enjoy it at the Schwartz family home. The weather was amazing, the food was delicious and the company was fantastic. There were lots of young kids there with Cadel being the youngest. Unfortunately he was a little too young to go in the pool. Next year he'll definitely make a splash with everyone else.
