Baby Catch-up

I probably should have started this blog 3 months ago when Caden was first born, but since I didn't, here is a little catch-up on his last 3 months. Caden was born on 11/2 after 60 (yes, 60) hours of labor. I had to have a C-section because the kid just didn't want to come out and was causing all kinds of problems.
He is an excellent baby. He doesn't cry or complain and he is usually happy all the time. He spent his first month in Michigan to meet all the Michigan family. He got to attend his first arena race and watch Grandpa get a trophy.
He had his first Thanksgiving and Christmas and pretty much slept through both of them. He survived his 2-month shots with no difficulty and I survived them too.
Our only bump in the road was that Caden got RSV in the middle of January. He was a sick little guy for about a week and a half. We went to the doctor's office everyday for about a week, but we survived.
We also took a family trip to New Orleans at the end of January for a friend's wedding. It was our first big trip with Caden since we got back from Michigan. We drove at night so he slept the whole way and he was no problem. We had a great time. We stayed in the French Quarter and saw many sites. We took a history tour of the cemeteries. In NOLA they bury their dead above ground, so there were a lot of cool tombs to look at. We walked along the Mississippi River and visited an aquarium. That was Caden's favorite part. He loved to watch the fish swimming around and had lunch with the penguins (which are his favorite animal). Finding Nemo is his favorite movie and we got to see a fish that looked just like Dorie. We walked on Bourbon Street and watched the first Mardi Gras parade of the year. It was an excellent family vacation and we can't wait to go back.
Caden can hold his head up on his own now. He is trying to roll over but hasn't quite made it yet. His 4 month check is next month....
