Food, Family and Friends

It's been awhile since my last post but the Bober family has been busy. Almost 2 weeks ago, Cade had his first solid food. The first feeding didn't go so well but he has gotten better. In fact, today, he smiled throughout both his morning feeding with me and his evening feeding with Sean. He still doesn't get everything down but at least he doesn't make faces like this:A week ago, we made a quick trip to the doctor's office to get Cade's second Synagis shot. It was convenient because I just need to schedule it with the lab supervisor and we stop by any time in the afternoon. Cade didn't get too upset about the shot. One advantage to him going through so much in his short life. He is my little trooper. Also, they checked his weight and he was up to 13 lbs 9 oz. His weight gain has slowed but is still around 1/2 oz per day which is normal.
Last Thursday, Cade and I hung out with Amy and Evan at the Canterbury Craft Fair for the afternoon. It was way more crowded than Amy and I thought it would be but we still had a good time. Cade enjoyed looking around. We even tried out a baby carrier that was like a sling. I really liked the concept but since Cade can move quite a bit now it was tough to get him positioned correctly and he could push his way out. I decided it wasn't worth the $40. Maybe we can borrow one from Amy sometime and get used to it before spending the money. After Canterbury, we stopped at Seagate SHK to visit some friends that were in town from Thailand and also some co-workers of mine. Cade loved the lobby that is filled with bright lights and trees.

On Friday, my mom, aunt Diana and cousin Nina came down for our annual shopping trip during deer season. So, all of us along with my sister and aunt Susan shopped most of the day Saturday. It was nice because Sean was able to stay home with Cade so I had a baby free day. Usually, even when I'm running errands, I'm worrying about when Cade is going to start screaming. It was relaxing not to have to worry about him. He was in very good hands, his daddy's. Thanks honey. My mom stayed with us which was nice because then she got her Cade time in She even got a chance to feed him his cereal on Sunday morning.
Then on Sunday night, we went out to Holly and Rogers house for dinner. Andy, Jill and Phillip were there too. We had a great time and enjoyed good company and excellent food. Holly and Roger's little girl, Laila, was so excited about having 2 babies at her house. She took good care of both of them. Leo, who is a year and a half, was not as impressed but is such a sweet boy. Cade also had his first experience in an exersaucer. He loved it but could barely reach the bottom with the legs down as low as they go. We will have to try his at home to see if it goes as well.
