"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him." Psalm 34:8Kimberly Hixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06468028556616513992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269489795407714377.post-28495077880015084252017-03-14T13:58:00.002-05:002017-03-14T13:58:57.412-05:0010 Months for Molly! What a month it was for our sweet girl! Molly is now a walker! Craziness how both of our kiddos started walking at 10 months! <br />
<br />
Molly enjoyed her first Halloween this year! I debated whether or not to make both kids wear something that coordinated together or just let them do their own thing. Since Caden seems to be so particular about his costumes (nothing on his face, nothing super baggy, etc.), I opted to not make them coordinate. Caden was a dinosaur and Molly was an elephant. Still only 2 teeth. Since I'm so far behind in posting, we'll let the pictures tell the rest of what this sweet girl has been up to this past been month! With each new day, we love our sweet girl and her big brother even more!<br />

Hard to believe 9 months has come and gone! This past month was full of milestones for little miss Molly! Girl finally got some teeth! She decided to do two at a time like her brother liked to do too, so now she's got her two bottom front teeth. No more yet, but there's still plenty of chewing on toys and waking up in the middle of the night to make me think more are coming very soon. I thought since Molly started pulling up and standing sooner that she might beat her brother in the walking department, but looks like they'll be pretty close to about the same time. Molly did take 2 steps on her own though! This little girl loves to stand on her toes, so I think that is why the walking hasn't happened sooner.<br />
Turning 9 months meant a visit to the pediatrician for a well check! Normally, this is a shot-free visit, but unfortunate for my winter babies that were born during flu season, it means a flu shot! Girlfriend was not a fan, and unfortunately has to go back at the end of this month to get her second dose (should be loads of fun since her brother is getting one too!) She did great at her appointment and we are so thankful to God for a healthy and happy baby! Here are Molly's stats, which are pretty close to her big brother's at this age:<br />
Height: 28.25 in. (52%) <i>Caden was 28.5 in. (58%)</i><br />
Weight: 18 lbs. 10.4 oz. (57%) <i>Caden was 19 lbs. (38%)</i><br />
Head Circumference: 18 in. (91%) <i>Caden was 18.11 in. (79%)</i><br />
Sweet girl is still a super happy, easy going baby! I love that she smiles so much and so often for pretty much anyone. She takes 2-3 naps depending on the day and what's going on. She's started waking up during the night, but once those first 2 teeth came through, it made more sense as to why.

"May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance." 2 Thessalonians 3:5Kimberly Hixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06468028556616513992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269489795407714377.post-20972868513269591632016-10-04T13:07:00.001-05:002016-10-04T13:07:32.730-05:00Molly @ 8 monthsHow we are here at 8 months already is crazy, but here we are! To think that in 4 short months you will be a year old makes me sad because it's gone so fast, but then I feel like you've always been with our family, so how can you only be 8 months old? This month you actually stopped army crawling and started what people would say is "typical" crawling. I was firmly convinced you were going to army crawl forever, but you surprised me. She also successfully climbed up our set of stairs all by herself, which is both impressive and alarming at the same time.<br />
No teeth yet still, which would make Molly later on her teeth arrival than her brother, but that's okay! Girl has her own timing! Still having middle of the night wake ups and wanting to start our day in the 5 o'clock hour, so I'm pretty certain those teeth are going to make an appearance soon. At least, I hope they are, so maybe I can get some sleep:) Eating food is going pretty well. I'm only giving her baby food since she doesn't have any teeth, but girl seems to like most things. Main issue is for her Momma to remember to feed her the food! Poor baby #2!<br />
Your sweet smile is contagious and I feel like you show it more freely and easily than your brother did at this stage of life (and even now too!) Still really easy, go with the flow, and don't care if your brother takes away your toys (though I'm certain you'll start having an opinion of disapproval soon and we are working with your brother on not taking things away from you). Love you so much sweet girl!<br />

Your birth is becoming a lot more blurry than I expected so I'm glad writing this stuff down because there is no way I can remember it all. I feel like this month the mobility bug has gotten you because you are not content as much just sitting still. Those legs always want to be bouncing and jumping around even if you haven't fully figured out how they work. Molly has become quite the army crawler and really good at rocking back and forth, so full blown crawling is very, very near. She'll crawl with one leg for a step, but usually resorts to army crawling after that.<br />
No teeth to report yet,but you like chewing on your toys so maybe we're not too far off. We've had a few middle of the night wake ups, which is unusual for her, so I'm thinking those teeth are working their way to poking out. Big brother starting getting his at 8 months, so we'll see if you follow his lead or wait a little longer. Sleeping is overall still fantastic! Definitely better than your brother was at this point for sure. We are still taking around 3 naps a day, but sometimes we can skip the evening one, which is usually just like a 30 minute cat nap. Most of the time you are a tummy sleeper, but occasionally I see you on your side or back. You have begun "talking" rather than just squealing. Since Caden started swim lessons this summer, we have gone to the pool more often and you love the water too! Your legs just kick and kick. You don't seem to mind a quick dunk under water either! <br />

Nap times don't overlap for very long and at the end of the day, I usually opt for sleep (selfish I know!) Molly is doing fantastic! At her 6 month check up:<br />
Weight: 15 lbs. 11.2 oz., 41% <i>(Caden was16 lbs, 3.2 oz., 21% )</i><br />
Height: 26.5 in., 74% <i>(Caden was 26.5 in. too!, 36%)</i><br />
Head Circumference: 17.05 in. , 79% <i>(Caden was 17.24 in., 59% )</i><br />

At 5 months Molly started with oatmeal, so at 6 months we started with baby food! Oatmeal definitely improved with practice and when Mommy remembered to give it to her (poor second baby!) Just like Caden, we started with sweet potatoes. At first was a little uncertain, but definitely a big fan after a few bites. This girl just wanted some flavor! Seeing how well she did with that, I stopped the oatmeal since the main point of it is to help them eat food. Hasn't really hated anything, but green beans are probably the least favorite and sweet girl loves all the fruit she's tried.<br />
Of course a few days after your check up, you started sitting up on our own! (I just hate saying no to the doctor when they asked if they're reaching various milestones, feels like I'm being graded or something's wrong with my babies). This has made bath time and grocery shopping much easier! You are so happy most of the time, which is wonderful!! <br />

No teeth yet and I can't feel any either, but you'll have a mouth full in no time! You're full of smiles most of the time. We love you so much sweet girl!<br />

Our little guy learned so much this year! God blessed us with the perfect teachers who helped him get through the challenges of being 2, going from an only child to a big brother, and helping encourage me as a Mom as we tried to raise our sweet boy. It's crazy to see how much he changed (both inside and out) in just one year! When looking at his first and last day of school pics, I can see so much difference, but at the same time I still see him as his his first day pic (actually even younger if we're being honest). His school ended the year with a sweet program and it was great to see how he just stood still in November and then in May was singing and clapping. I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED the scrapbook of pictures from all the fun he had throughout the year.<br />

I'm a little nervous since I've never done this and want to make this easy as possible for everyone. Here are some thoughts that have come to my mind:<br />

<li>Potty training is not for the weak. It's hard work.</li>
<li>3 Day Potty training is a lie. (Now I won't say we didn't have some improvement after 3 days and I didn't do everything they say to do like wake the child up in the night, but we were far from being trained after 3 days)</li>
<li>I felt like we'll be going to the bathroom every 20 minutes forever.</li>
<li>This is probably the only time I've wished my kids went to day care so they would train him for me. </li>
<li>A plus of potty training is that it really does help you not fall behind on your laundry.</li>
<li>Best advice I've received on potty training came from the kid's pediatrician who told me just to go at his pace. Seriously helped in me not getting discouraged when not much has changed after 3 days. In my opinion too this is the only way you will get true success.</li>
<li>Thank you Lord for M&M's! (A great incentive for the little guy indeed, but I could tell after a few days he needed a little more of something to help increase the motivation, so since he loves watching YouTube videos on my phone I would only let him watch them for 4 minutes every time we had success going to the potty)</li>

I did the first 3 days putting him in underwear, but for Caden he didn't really see much difference between that and a diaper, so he just went when he needed to and wasn't grossed out enough by peeing and pooping in his underwear to stop. After several days with not much improvement (we were peeing no problem when we'd go every 20 minutes, but that was about it), I decided to try the naked route and I'm not sure if Caden was actually catching on to potty training or if the no clothes was the trick we needed to help him figure it out. Probably both, but I honestly think the going naked route helped us make a huge amount of progress to becoming fully potty trained.</li>
<li>You think you've perhaps mastered one area only to have accidents the next day.</li>
<li>Just because there are accidents doesn't mean he's not getting it.</li>
<li>You still have to make him go even if you ask and he says no. (Finding the balance between making them go and waiting for them to realize it before an accident is a hard one)</li>
<li>Don't overload their little minds with too many instructions at once. Once I felt Caden was somewhat getting it and we started back on underwear/pull ups, he would just start pulling off his pants wherever he was and run off naked to the bathroom. Not ideal, I know. My thought process was let's focus on going in the potty not our pants and then we'll get to not taking your clothes off until you're in the bathroom.</li>
<li>I've seen a lot of kids get some big present when they've become potty trained, but my personal opinion is that the parents deserve a nice dinner not the kid. (We'll probably do something for the little guy, but seriously Momma deserves the big gift here!)</li>

After almost 2 months of potty training, we are doing pretty good. Nap time/Nights I put him in a pull up and about half the time he stays dry, but I think that is just luck. My personal thought is if we haven't fully mastered day time when we're awake how can I expect it when you're asleep? Maybe that's wrong, but like I said this is my first go around. When we go to church or out for a bit, I will usually put him in one then too just in case there's an accident, but he's been doing well staying dry then. At home he does great and I don't have worry too much, so we are getting there! I'm hoping by the time school starts in September, we will have a good hold on it. Not sure when I will feel like he truly gets it and accidents are a rarity, but I look forward to that day and I know we will get there!<br />

How this sweet girl is already 5 months old is beyond me! Time just keeps flying and this little one is growing up so fast! This past month you figured out how to roll from your back onto your tummy. You don't do this super often, usually when I've left the room. You also tried oatmeal for the first time as well. While there wasn't a dislike, you weren't quite sure of what to think. More I think dribbled out of your mouth than was swallowed, but we'll get there. No longer do you stay in the same place! You are either rolling or pushing off somewhere! Perhaps crawling is not as far off as we think! Your brother absolutely adores you and must go with me to get you out of your crib in the morning. If I don't let him run up the stairs and into your room first to peak over your bed to say "Hi Molly!" there is an epic meltdown. He always wants to know where you're at if he doesn't see you! Glad to see he's taken his big brother role seriously, but we knew he would! Still an easy, go with the flow baby (thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!) who sleeps all night and smiles at everyone. Not sure about your height or weight since we didn't go to the doctor, but already started putting you in some 6 month clothes, so we are definitely growing. Love you sweet girl!!<br />

Another month has come and gone?! How has it already been 4 months with this sweet girl?! Miss Molly is still the sweetest little girl! Very laid back and easy going gal still (THANK YOU!). Gold stars in the sleep department, though we've had the occasional early wake up call. You're very mch a go with the flow kiddo, which makes this ideal for your big brother! You cat nap here and there, but I'd say you take at least 3 naps a day. You absolutely love it when people talk to you! Sometimes when you're needing some attention, you'll start to get fussy, but once we start talking to you, the fussing stops. She's been able to roll from her tummy to back for awhile, but doesn't do it all the time. Girl has to be in the mood to do so. On her terms, not ours, which is so her brother.<br />
Turning 4 months meant another trip to see our wonderful pediatrician! Molly is doing great! Even though she did gain some good weight, we are going to continue the extra formula in her breast milk/formula that she is drinking for another couple months.<br />
Height: 24.5 in (53%) <i>(Caden was 25 in.=34%</i> ) <br />
Weight: 13 lbs. 1.9 oz. (27%) <i>(Caden was 13 lbs. 9.6 oz.=10%)</i><br />

Caden got to do 4 different Easter egg hunts between family, friends, and school! At the first one, he took more of a leisurely approach walking slowly, looking at each egg before carefully placing it in his basket, and then moving on to repeat the process. By the last egg hunt, he was racing trying to find as many eggs that he could and throwing them into his basket. We visited the Easter bunny at the mall, and Caden was TERRIFIED! Since Molly was here this year, there was no way for the bunny to hold both a tiny baby and a screaming/flailing his body all around toddler. I pretty much pushed him as close as I could towards the Easter bunny without making it into the picture (because of course I was in jeans and a t-shirt not nice clothes like the kiddos). We tried dying eggs, which was definitely an experience with a toddler who didn't quite understand why you couldn't just drop the eggs in the dye with all his might.

He loves Veggie Tales & YouTube videos, looking for the moon at night, and of course playing outside, but this kid LOVES to sing and pray (i.e.church). Every time church is over (which is twice on Sundays and Wednesday nights unless we have had some serious bad behavior) you can always find Caden at the front of our auditorium singing on the stage along with saying a few prayers that he ends with "Amen". Still can't tell if he's singing an actual song most of the time or one he has composed himself, but it's absolutely precious!! Now if you ask him to sing, usually he won't or call him out on his lovely singing. It has be on his terms, almost like it's his idea to do it, not yours. Whatever family member is watching him has their assigned spot, and they're all different. Caden also prefers to sing alone usually, so if he hands you a pen (his microphone) then consider that a great honor. You can usually hear his little voice saying "Let's sing" whenever someone is praying or preaching during church.<br />
This sweet boy doesn't just sing at church either! He's constantly doing it at home, loves to belt it out at the grocery store, or serenade us in the car. I'm curious to see if he'll love to sing this much when he's older, but it does his parent's hearts good to hear his sweet little voice so excited about church!<br />

Not too long ago Caden discovered You Tube videos, which opened a whole new world of songs and learning beyond just Veggie Tales. Now he can find them on his own with no problem at all. Craziness! Somehow he stumbled onto this video with plastic fruits and vegetables stuck together with velcro and the whole video shows someone cutting the food into 2 pieces while calling out the name of said food. Doesn't seem too exciting right? Wrong. Our 2 year old Caden loves it!!!! It's crazy to hear him try to say things like eggplant and chili pepper at such a young age, much less sit still to watch the video.</div>

<br />
Fast forward to Easter time, I was looking for some things to put in his Easter basket and thought if I could find something like this, Caden would be in love! Thank goodness there's a housekeeping section at Toys R' Us because they had it. Easter morning when he got his basket, Caden was in heaven!! Now if I could just get this kiddo to eat these vegetables, I would be a happy camper too!<br />

I still think you look like your brother! Quite a few people say you look like me, but I can't see it at this point. Adding some extra formula to your bottle seems to be going well in helping you pack on some weight. Tummy time is going well and you have even rolled over frmo your tummy to your back a couple times. This past month you celebrated your first Valentine's Day, where you got a cheerleader outfit for U of H (shout out to your Daddy's alma mater!) and a rose from your Daddy! Big brother got a doctor kit to play with, and Casey got me flowers even though I told him not to. (I despise paying twice the amount for the same flowers) <br />

This last picture is absolutely priceless. Caden thinks his Daddy hung the moon and is his biggest fan I feel. When Daddy started mowing the yard, Caden had to go get his mower. In his cowboy boots, he went out next to his Daddy and carefully studied what he was doing so he could imitate himself. So glad I snapped this picture. What another wonderful month for our family of 4!<br />

Hard to believe how much faster time is going with you! You are the best baby! Now you're brother was by no means a bad or difficult baby, but you just seem to be even more laid back than him and sleeping through the night already (Thank you, thank you!!!). Turning 2 months meant a trip to the doctor for some shots! Here are Molly's stats:<br />
Weight= 9 lbs. 5 oz. (7%) <i>Caden was 10 lbs. 6.4 oz. (7% as well! Ha!)</i><br />
Height=23 1/4 in. (84%) <i>Caden was 23 in. (40%)</i><br />
Head=15.35 in. (73%) <i>Caden was 15.59 in. (58%)</i><br />

When we went to the doctor, little Miss Molly fell off the weight curve. In order to help her pack on some more weight, her pediatrician told us to add some more formula (but not more water) to her breast milk/formula milk combination to give her some more calories. Hopefully that will help our little lady! Now I just chuckle at all the people that told me she looked big for her age! Ha! Other than needing to gain weight, we have a happy and healthy girl on our hands!<br />

Big brother loves his "baby"! He always has to know where she's at and says "Hi baby!" a million times a day it seems. Sometimes we have to put Molly in another room when she's sleeping just so she can sleep and not be woken up by her brother telling her hello. We love, love, love you Miss Molly!<br />

<br /></div>
Maybe March is too late to blog about Christmas? Oh well, here we go. Christmas 2015 was a VERY low key and simple Christmas for the Hixon house. With Molly being born 3 weeks before Christmas, you would think that I would plan ahead and have all my shopping done beforehand since I knew that we would have a new baby right before Christmas. Not so much. I was distracted by our adorable toddler and trying to get ready for our sweet girl, that it just never happened.<br />
So once Molly arrived, I just kept putting Christmas preparations off. The only gifts under the tree until 3 days before Christmas were gifts for Caden and Molly from Casey's co-worker. Thankfully, the kiddos were young enough to not really care about a ton of Christmas decorations or presents. When I couldn't put it off any longer, I then found myself asking "What in the world do I get for Caden and Molly?" Caden whose birthday was November 18th got more than enough toys and clothes, so what was there left to get the kiddo that I had not already told grandparents and aunts/uncles to get him? Obviously, my creativity was not functioning at a high level with a newborn, but I didn't want to not to anything for them. It was Molly's first Christmas after all. At the same time, I also thought about what the true meaning of Christmas is about: celebrating the birth of Jesus. While some presents aren't bad, I really didn't need to go overboard. Santa ending up bringing Caden a tee pee tent that he loves to draw in and Molly s this little teether blanket. Their parents managed to get them both a few small things complete with goldish for Caden in his stocking and Molly a little toy (like I keep saying it was very simple). While our Christmas was very, very simple, it was still very nice to spend time with each other and our loved ones. Next year, I plan to be more on the ball with my Christmas shopping. Though next year I will have Molly's 1st birthday to plan (sad to think of that for our sweet girl). Here are some photos from our holidays:<br />

Good golly Miss Molly is 1 month old! Time goes by so much quicker with the second baby! Doesn't help either that our calendar was pretty jam packed with Christmas holiday fun. Molly thus far is such a great and easy baby. Seriously. Girl is a rock star! God knew that with an active toddler who is fully embracing his 2 year old-ness with tantrums and all that an easy-going, laid back newborn would be just what we needed.<br />
I can't praise Molly enough in the sleep department!!! Since she was born she would go 4-5 hrs at night between feedings, but I felt like that only lasted a week before this little lady stretched it out to 7 hours! Big brother was never a bad sleeper at night, but he was your typical newborn waking every 3 hours, so this has been a MUCH welcomed surprise this second time around. During the day, I feel like she sleeps more than Caden did too, which again is appreciated so I can focus on giving big brother the attention he needs. The fact that Molly can snooze through your brother's near constant singing bodes well for all of us as I feel he won't get quieter with age.<br />
Two things we've had to deal with Molly that we didn't with Caden: blocked tear duct and thrush. When Molly was 9 days old, one of her eyes became really goopy, so bad she didn't want to open it. I thought it was pink eye since Caden had that in the past (pre-Molly). When I took her to the pediatrician, I was happy to hear it wasn't pink eye, which is really contagious, but a blocked tear duct instead. Our pediatrician just told us to do the following 5 times a day: wipe the eye, massage in a circle 15 times, and then put a drop of a breast milk in the corner of her eye. That last part sounds strange I know, but it seriously works! What I was not expecting to find out when we went to the doctor was that Molly had thrush, which is just a yeast infection in her mouth. Since Molly had thrush, this meant that I had thrush since I was breastfeeding her. Thankfully our wonderful pediatrician prescribed enough medicine for both Molly and I, so I was saved a trip to the doctor.<br />
You're not really any help with diaper changes Miss Molly. You like to stiffen up your legs and since you're so little and fragile, I'm nervous to force you to do anything too much because I don't want to hurt you. Molly is pretty chill most of the time. She doesn't really cry that much, and if so there's usually a pretty easy reason why (woke, pacifier fell out, wet diaper, etc.) Speaking of the pacifier, she is definitely a bigger fan of these things than her brother was. Thank you to the person that invented the pacifier clip because that has been a huge help in not having to search for them.<br />
You're wearing newborn size clothes and diapers at this point still. Since size 1 diapers start at 8 lbs, you're Daddy was ready to move you to size 1 diapers. However, your Mommy was not so ready to see this phase of the newborn-ness go away so soon since everything else seemed to be flying be so much faster. So you better believe, I went to Target and bought a box of newborn diapers that we probably didn't actually need, but this Momma's emotions did.<br />

"The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them." Proverbs 20:7Kimberly Hixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06468028556616513992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269489795407714377.post-35156572030358168602016-03-05T20:03:00.001-06:002016-03-05T20:03:49.501-06:00Molly Elizabeth Hixon's Entrance Into The World Miss Molly's entrance to the world has some similarities to her big brother's, but she also had plenty of differences to make it her own story. With Caden, my water broke at 39 wks at only 1 cm dilated (which I was for a couple weeks at least) and no obvious signs that labor was near. Molly was WAY more active inside the womb than Caden, so I thought with that and the fact that this was my second baby so my body knew what to do, that Molly would come early too. Wrong! I was even dilated and effaced more at this point in the pregnancy with Molly too.<br />
At 37 wks, I was ready for her to be here and not be pregnant because I was so uncomfortable. This time around, I was much more honest and open about this opinion too. At my doctor appt the following week, my doctor just mentioned talking about induction at the next appt if not much progress had been made. I remembered thinking (and hoping) that it wouldn't be necessary and she would come on her own. Then a part of me felt guilty for even considering it just because I was a little uncomfortable (truthfully, I was a lot uncomfortable) and didn't want to risk forcing Molly out when she wasn't ready. After enduring another week of uncomfortability that I felt was worse without really any progress and talking it over with my doctor, the word induction had a much more positive meaning.<br />
When I went in for my 39 wk. appt at the doctor without really any improvement, I scheduled our induction for Friday. Thankful that my doctor was on call that day so I was ensured that she would deliver Molly too! After you go on this long journey together, you really hate to have someone else bring your baby into this world. Plus, I absolutely love my OB/GYN doctor and I wanted her to deliver Molly just as she did Caden.<br />
Casey and I reported to the hospital just before 6:00AM and by 7:30 I was hooked up to the IV's and we were on our way to bringing our sweet girl into the world. My doctor came by not too long after that to break my water, which isn't the most comfortable thing ever, but neither are contractions. Based on where I was at when I came in that morning, my doctor estimated Molly to be here around 2ish. Just like with Caden, things seemed to start out slow. Neither one of them liked too much Petocin, but too little was not enough to help keep the contractions regular.<br />
My epidermal this time totally numbed me! Awesome, right?! With Caden I remember I didn't feel contractions, but I could still have some feeling in my legs, they just felt like these heavy sand bags. With Molly's birth, I could feel absolutely nothing! They would move my legs and I was literally helpless to help, but the nurses were wonderful and helped me out. It seemed like I was stalled at 6 1/2 cm, so I told Casey he could go get some lunch. Just like Caden, things seem to happen when he leaves! Sure enough, the nurse asked if I felt any pressure, which I hadn't all morning, and checked me to see if I had made any more progress. She looks up and says, "I see the hair on your baby's head!". What?! My doctor went to grab lunch too and was about 8 minnutes out, so the nurse then tells me to try not to push until both Casey and the doctor could get there. Since I could feel nothing, this was a difficult task. I'm texting Casey and both our parents to tell him to get back to the room. Thankfully both he and the doctor got there before our sweet girl came. For Caden, I only had to push for like 20 minutes and he was here, so I was hoping to do about the same this second time. Miss Molly was ready to come because after only 5 minutes of pushing, our beautiful baby girl made her entrance into this world at 12:55 PM on December 4th, 2015 weighing 8 lbs. 1 oz. and measuring 19 1/2 inches long.<br />

"Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well." 1 John 5:1Kimberly Hixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06468028556616513992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269489795407714377.post-9489066005753890772015-09-10T20:50:00.001-05:002015-09-10T20:50:03.228-05:001st Day of School This week began another milestone for our little guy, starting school! It's 2 days a week (Tuesday and Thursday), which I think is perfect for starting off when you're this young. Casey and I decided that the best place for our family was at the Mother's Day Out program at the church where Casey grew up going called Little Champs. Being almost 22 months old, Caden was ready for school. He needed the social interaction and the chance to learn so many fun, exciting things (and Mommy needed a little time to herself to clean the house and go to doctor appointments before Miss Molly arrives). <br />
Even though I tried to get as much ready the night before, I still felt like I was rushing around trying to get out of the house on time. Since it was such a special occasion, I figured a special breakfast should be in order, so off to Chick fil a we went for a Mommy/Son date. While I was looking forward to a few free hours, I found myself wishing we could put this off one more day. So of course, there were some tears from me on the way there (pretty much a guarantee when you're 6 months pregnant so I wasn't surprised by their presence). Once we got to school, I felt like everything went by so fast. I would have loved to slow it down a bit, but I wanted to make a smooth, easy transition for Caden and his teachers. Quickly after walking him into his classroom, I snuck out while he was distracted.<br />

When I went to pick him up, he was all smiles and excited to see me (though the first words out of his mouth were Da-da). His teachers said he did good and even gave me some artwork of his handprints they had made (a Mommy's dream!) I would based on his artwork that his teachers got a good grasp of our kiddo. He is 100% boy and has quite the arm already. I'm slightly curious what the other kids in his classroom hands were made for, but Caden's definitely made me giggle. His first artwork from school is a definite keepsake and is proudly displayed on our refrigerator.</div>

Just like that, we made it through our first week! Caden did great! I was able do go to Ladies Bible Class at church, do some cleaning, and go to the dentist, so I feel accomplished! We are excited to see Caden grow and how we are going to be blessed by Little Champs!</div>

The picture on this blog is from Caden's newborn photos, ha! My profile and cover photos are old too! Part of my slowness in changing them is that I love looking at them and remembering Caden as this tiny, little one forever. Then there's the decision of what picture(s) to replace these things with, which also takes me longer than it should. And finally, there's the whole time factor that I never seem to have enough of. Back in April (yes I wrote April) we had some family photos done. My original plan was to get these done when Caden turned a year old, and we see how long it took me to finally get that done.<br />
Oh well, such is life. Instead, Caden is 17 months old and I was pregnant with Molly (though no one knew at that point, which was also another reason I delayed in posting these pics). A sweet friend from church that is also a very talented photographer took them for us and she did an amazing job. I'm so glad I got some great pictures of my little guy (and little girl too!) that I can treasure forever! Here are just a few:<br />

Sometimes, I still can't believe it! I seriously had this feeling after having Caden that we were going to have all boys and I was good with that! Overall, Caden was/is an easy baby (don't get me wrong, we have our challenges, but I know it could be way worse). Given that this second pregnancy was so different from Caden's in the fact that I was way more nauseated amongst other not so fun symptoms, we suspected this little one might be a girl. We really were good whether it was a boy or girl.Each pregnancy is different, so in actuality there's really no way to really know. Casey and I were both fully confident that God would give us what we needed, we just prayed for a healthy little one. When we had an ultrasound, the tech was able to tell us right off the bat that we were having a girl! It was so incredible to watch her move around and to see how much she had grown from the last ultrasound. Everything looked great and progressing as it should be!<br />
So how did we arrive at the name Molly Elizabeth? This is actually the girl name we had picked out if Caden was a girl too (I just had to talk Casey into it again)! With Caden and Molly's pregnancies, both Casey and I spent a lot of time looking at baby name books trying to find the perfect name for our little ones!! One day when I was pregnant with Caden I was looking through girl names, I came across Molly and I really liked it. The book I was reading also had details in it like what the name meant, if it was the form of another name, and a variety of spellings. Then I saw that Molly was a form of Mary and I fell so in love with the name and knew if I ever had a daughter, that's what I wanted her name to be! Both Casey and I had grandmothers that we were very close to growing up that were named Mary. They were beautiful, amazing Christian ladies that we both loved deeply, admired for so many reasons, and aspired to be like. I can remember one day driving home from work and just crying at how much I loved this name! When I told Casey about the tears, his initial reaction was that he laughed at me (ah the joys of pregnancy hormones)! But then when I asked him what kind of person he would want his daughter to be like and that I would want her to be like them, he totally agreed! Both of our grandmothers are living the good life in heaven now, which makes me a little sad they can't be here to hold our sweet girl and meet their namesake, but we'll all be together one day, so it's just a delayed reunion. I'm sure they're both looking down on us and just in love with their great granddaughter. Okay first name down, now what is her middle name? Elizabeth is again special to both of us! Casey's grandmother (same one named Mary) had the middle name Elizabeth and then my very first best friend Laura that I only had to thankfully spend 10 days without on this earth has the same middle name. I think it just fits perfect with Molly too!!<br />

It's so nice to no longer call this baby an "it" and that she has a name! I'm hoping this will help Caden better understand that he has a little sister coming in a few months. Right now, if you ask him where his baby is, he lifts up his shirt and points to his belly button! Pretty typical, but very cute! If you ask him where Mommy's baby is, he'll lift up my shirt and either point to my belly button or if we're sitting down he'll hug my belly. We're making progress (I hope) on the being gentle. We bought a baby doll to help Caden start the transition of not being the only child and how we need to be sweet to the baby, which I think is helping him a lot. Bring on the bows and pretty dresses!<br />

With another baby on the way, I don't see that improving either!! It was so nice to have the 4th on Saturday, which meant Casey had Friday off. That also happened to be my Mom's birthday, so we had my family over to our house for dinner and dessert. Then on Saturday, we went over to our next door neighbor's house for their party. Caden got to go swimming with Casey for the first time and let me say this child was a completely different child from the one I've taken to the pool this summer. <br />
He let him hold as they moved around the pool and didn't really squirm or fuss at all. When I've taken him, he wants out of my arms after a few seconds and is constantly hopping in and out of the pool. Needless to say, Caden was in heaven with his Daddy (aka his best buddy) in the water! He had the biggest smile on his face pretty much the entire time! Needless to say, Caden and I might stick to splash pads for the rest of the summer, but we'll see. Thankfully after swimming for an hour, it was no problem at all putting him to bed and he slept through all the fireworks that went off right outside our house, which impressed everyone!! Thank goodness for video baby monitors, which allowed Casey and I to go outside to watch the fireworks while still keeping an eye on our little guy.<br />
A late night for Casey and I, but overall a fun, family weekend together!!!<br />

Most of this time Caden hasn't seemed bothered by it, which is good. Treatment for it is to put a prescription cream (Nyastatin) on him 4 times a day. Doesn't sound that bad right?! Wait for the kicker, you can't use baby wipes! Ugh!!! Apparently, there is something in the baby wipes that won't kill the yeast, so you have to use wet paper towels. Caden has had a couple of these in the past (seems after a round of antibiotics, yeast infections are not uncommon), but after maybe a couple days use of the Nyastatin, it clears right up. For some reason, this time around has taken way longer.<br />
You can't just leave your bag of wipes in the diaper bag, but have to make sure that you pack a bag of wet paper towels, which aren't as easy to pull out as wipes. With pregnancy brain, having something else to remember is not ideal either. Having said all this, I have come to appreciate the baby wipe, so here is my ode I have written:<br />
<br />
Yeast o yeast, you are a beast!<br />
I don't like dealing with you in the least.<br />
Baby wipes you are the best.<br />
Having to use wet paper towels for the past month I do detest.<br />
So whenever you see a baby wipe please be in awe<br />
For they truly are one of the many gifts from God.<br />
<br />
I look forward to the day when I can actually use the baby wipes in my diaper bag, but I'm honestly somewhat hesitant because I don't want to start this saga all over again. There are worse problems though, so we'll keep on trucking!<br />
