A Weekend of Firsts!

What a weekend! Grandpa came in on Thursday night, and that was the start of a busy weekend filled with firsts. We went into downtown Greenville to our beautiful park and took our first stroll along the river. Then grandma and grandpa baby-sat so that mom and dad could go to dinner and a movie for moms birthday. (That was a bit tough- I held my phone the entire movie!) Then on Sunday we drove to North Carolina and went hiking at Chimney Rock State Park. When we got home, Caden got his first tub bath. Whooo... lots going on.

Monday was a little sad because grandma and grandpa went home, and now the true test and taste of parenthood begins. And it began with a bang- he cried beginning at 1:30, after we dropped them off at the airport and is still having "episodes" now at 8:30 pm.. Talk about REALITY! Mom you were wonderful- and we miss all of your help already!

Below are some pictures from this crazy weekend.

Daddy is already teaching me computer games!

I am so excited that grandpa is here!

We are 2 weeks old!

Hello from Greenville. Well, we have officially made it two weeks! And I haven't killed Brian or mom, so I am considering everything a success.

We have had a few ups and downs, but we are working through everything. Caden was tongue tied, and it was affecting his ability to nurse and could have potentially led to speech problems in the future, so we had to have his tongue clipped on Monday of last week. I think the procedure hurt Brian and I more than it hurt him. On Tuesday we went back to the pediatrician, and had a weigh-in and we were back at birth weight, so that was great. Caden likes his mama's milk!

Grandpa arrived on Thursday, so it is going to be a weekend of spoiling, I am sure.

Below are a few new picts, we hope that you enjoy them!

Trying to catch that perfect picture- still working on it!

Mom and Grandma are making me pose for pictures- not liking it too much!

Still trying to get that perfect picture-still not happy about it!

I am thinking hard about this nap!

Wide-eyed and thinking about making trouble!

I sure love my grandma!
