Happy One Month Birthday Cavin!

Can you believe it? One month has flown by! Maybe it is because 'time flies when you are having fun' or maybe it is because with limited nights / sleep it just feels like one really long day. Either way we are happy to report our baby is happy, healthy, and sporting a very cute onesie for his first birthday celebration!




And before you think otherwise (since we all know Cavin is an exceptional child) he has not learned to sit up on his own yet. We thought it would be a fun idea to take pictures of Cavin on his Elmo chair - compliments of his cousin Grace - on each of his monthly birthdays so we can compare his size from the beginning of the year to the end. Well, this brilliant idea posed a challenge for these two new parents....Cavin cannot sit up on his own and this Elmo chair is pretty darn big for his size. So we did what any new parent would do that was obsessed with getting the perfect photo: coordinate with counts while one held up the baby, the other took the photo before the kid fell over, and then we'd swoop in to catch him before his head hit Elmo's arm. We were unsuccessful a couple times...

And the result of said-fall by Cavin when we tried to set him up to try again....



The whole process really wore him out!


Cavin's 1 months stats:

- Weigh: 10lbs, 2 ounces (60th percentile)

- Height: 23 1/4 inches (95th percentile)


Happy Birthday Cavin!!

Holy smokes, I can't believe it's been a month!!! And now he's over ten pounds, which I think is when they start sleeping better ... at least, that's what "THEY" say. Congrats on your handsome baby boy!
