Ok, well i've been doing REALLY bad keeping up on this. Same with Kaden's written journal! Well went to doctor on the 17th. I didn't like her @ all! first off we got there 15 mins before apt time... we had to wait an hour.. Kaden gets weighed etc. Wait for doc, that doesnt take too long. She checked his ears... reflexes, etc. and was with us for maybe 15mins she was filling out papers longer than she was in contact with us! how irratating. so then nurses come in, give my poor baby shots ... Kaden was smiling & laughing @ nurse.. until she poked him then he got really mad and turned bright red! only whinned for a little after that. mostly slept the rest of the day and was his normal self the next day! We joined a Playgroup.. a bunch of moms and their kids get together during the week, Wed we went to the Rio Vista Splash Park. Yasmine had a ball .. I dont think Kaden knew what to do. We will go swimming some more he likes that. Today we went to one of the mom's houses. yasmine had fun.. kaden was quiet... it's a nice thing... well i'm off to put pictures on pages....

Well someone hasn't been keeping up with the updating (sorry). Today had a WIC appointment but only got our coupons Kaden didn't get weighed or anything. I was hoping they would. But next Monday he goes to his doc appointment. Saturday we wen't and started looking at apartments in Gilbert, Chandler area there were some ok ones but i wasn't real impressed with any. this one can't remember name of community but the walk in closest was HUGE if there was a window in it, it could have been another room! but the room its self was small. Or mom didn't like something we will be looking more just to get an idea. I also liked one it had side by side fridge, but the laundry room was small and the "patio" was where the front door is w/ no lock so the kids wouldn't be able to go out and play by themselves. Today I was tickling kaden in his arm pits he was so hard out loud it was funny. I got a hold of the clinic that the cleft team is at and it's by application! so i should be receiving it in the mail, then i have to fill it out and then wait!!! i hate waiting. well i'm off to make some bottles for the night before he wakes up...

Today I had an appointment at the DES office, for the jobs program. I had to leave my lil man for the first time for a long time.. usually it's just been running to target with heather... well when we got her muffler on it was a long time but he slept the entire time. This morning Kaden was awake when i left... Usually he goes back to sleep and only slept for 5 mins with gma and then he woke up when she put him in his bed... Oh my poor man. we both survived though! I didn't want to go to the meeting but you gotta do what you gotta do. Him and Yasmine will be getting their pics taken soon i have money set aside. Mom just has to find something for yas to wear and i have to decide on one for kaden. Well I'm off to add pictures .... will write soon

Gosh I can't believe Kaden is already 3 months old. Time is going bye so fast. he's so much more alert, and moving tons, sometimes his little legs and arms don't stop. Tonight we did some squash because yesterday I fed him tons and 3 of his bottles had rice/cereal and he was still hungry. So I thought i would try him on some more solids, he liked the squash and he did very well pushing it back, it came out of his nose a couple times but what can you expect he's got a hole in his mouth. It didn't seem to mind him he kept eating. we will finish off the squash and start on the carrots yummy. I will stock up on jars too. only 2 weeks until his doc apt. and 9 days until he gets weighed at WIC. I'm trying to guess how much he weighs i dont know. last time mom was right, he weighed 10lbs @ 2months. well see how much he weighs @ 3 months. he's not really chunky anywhere except for his face (cheeks) and his thighs, but no where elese. Well im off to bed. been a long day.
