Things you hear in a house with a baby

Jason: "I think he's pooping!" (after about 4 days of not pooping)

Me: "Really, just sounded like farts to me?!"

Jason: "Let me check what we got....definitely poop!"

In Unison: (clapping) YAAAAAY!!

Never thought we could get so excited because another human being pooped. Oh the joys of being a parent. :)

Caden's First Vacation

My brother, Dillon, and cousin, Logan, had Spring Break the week before last so my mom and my Aunt Becky decided to take a trip to Pigeon Forge, TN. Caden and I tagged along for his first little vacation. We ended up leaving LATE Wednesday night, like around 11:00. Which was good because I was pretty sure Caden would sleep the whole way…which he did.

The only scary part was driving those curvy mountain roads in the middle night with all the 18 wheelers. My legs were tired the next day from being so tense the entire time I was driving. We got there around 2 or 3 am…I’m not sure which, I was pretty tired, and so was Caden, he never woke up even when I took him out of his car seat, swaddled him (yes he still gets swaddled :) and put him in his PNP to sleep. He slept amazingly well the whole long weekend.

We did some neat things there. We watched Dillon go indoor skydiving, Caden got to go swimming for the first time in the indoor pool, we watched Dillon and Logan do the Zorb and ride go-carts. Caden was also lucky enough to get to go shopping at the outlets too. ;) He actually does love to go shopping, for now anyway. Jason is determined that this will change. We had such a good time and Caden was such a sweet baby the whole time, even when we kept him out way past his bed time.

Believe it or not this was my first time to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg and I had a great time…I definitely want to go back, just not during the Hot Rod week this time, and with Jason in tow. We missed him being there with us for sure, and I’m pretty sure he missed us too. :) The traffic was insane…although, I had a very good time people watching. Apparently some very “interesting” people really like Hot Rods. Pictures are below. Enjoy!

Easter

I know this is a little late, but I thought I would post a couple of pictures from Easter Sunday. We had a good Easter....it was such nice weather. We went to church and then hung out with our families for the rest of the day. Caden got so many Easter goodies from our parents and from Aunt Melissa and Uncle Quint. He is already spoiled and so loved. :)

New Blog

Hello! I decided to create a new blog for myself and Jason and Caden. Jason started the old one to just put up pictures of Caden, and there will still be plenty of pictures of him, but I wanted to do a little more than just that. Also, it was kind of a pain for me because Jason created it, when I was in my "just had a baby, what is going on" state, and since I'm the one that always updates I figured I should put it under my name so I dont' have to use his login and "stuff". Also, like I pointed out to Jason, we would have had to start a new one when we had another baby because the old one was cadenrainey...how would that make the new baby feel? :) And, no I'm not pregnant again, and yes, I do think that far ahead. :) So the old blog won't be updated anymore, so if you had it saved, then save this one. That one will stay up as well, but it just won't have any new posts added to it. I am seriously hoping to update this one more often and to keep up with it as best I can. That is all for now! But I won't leave you without at least one picture. :)
