It's been a while since I have wrote.. sorry... well we are doing more tummy time so little man can build up his strength to hold his head up, he's been doing pretty well. He doesn't really like to be on his tummy. Except for when he's sleeping. He was sick for a couple of days, just a stuffy, runny nose, and coughing. But he got 2 doses of Infant Tylenol plus cold for a couple days and it went away, he's still kind of congested but Dr. Conway said it's normal for cleft babies to be congested. We have a WIC apt on May 10th He will probably be weighed and measured then. and then we have a doc apt on may 17th. he will get his shots. even though may is supposed to be his 4 month checkup!!!! stupid insurance. i'm so irritated. he's suppose to have his lip surgery sched by now.. but nope... oh well this new doc of his better get in contact with a team. Or I will do it myself. Even though after little man gets his lip repaired he's not going to have the same smile... i'm going to miss it... well i'm off to put more pics on ...later days

First Entry Online

Kaden has been smiling for weeks, and laughing. He likes when you stick your tounge out at him. He laughs and smiles. He also likes funny faces. Kaden LOVES to watch his Aunt Yas whenever she is around she dances, sings and keeps him entertained.
He has a gym, it has toys that hang off of clips and he likes that sometimes depends on what kind of mood he is in, he bats at the toys though.
Can't grab stuff on his own yet, but the Easter Bunny brought him a rattle and I've been putting it in his hand so he gets an idea.
He just recently got a swing hasnt gotten that used to it... probably would have loved one if he was in it since day one... but i think he will get used to it.
(I CAN ROLLOVER) The other night Kaden was laying in his Playard, and just making noises, Yasmine kept telling me to look at what he was doing i thought he was just smiling (everytime he smiles at her she tells me ) so i just put it off, I ended up walking over there for some reason and he had rolled from his back to his stomach... Great... No it's good. Other than his laughs, smiles, & coos he just likes to be held. Oh yeah he likes tv too, and he talks to the blinds sometimes too... its cute.... well that is all for now...... Later Days
