Hold me mama!

Caden has been fussy lately. And when I say lately, I mean constantly over the past few days. I'm beginning to wonder if he is cutting his 1 year molars. Actually, I did not even realize they cut molars this young, but Shelly mentioned her son cutting his and it caused me to do some research. He's started drooling lately and running a low grade fever but he isn't very willing to let me look in his mouth. He has just been so clingy and fussy. Normally he is always on the go, and never sits still! But over the past 4 days he has let me rock him and has been content spending some of his day in my arms. And he is always reaching up for me to hold him. I love that he wants to be with me all of the time but it was definitely difficult to get anything done that I couldn't do holding a baby!

Matt was out of town this weekend so Caden and I spent lots of time together, just the 2 of us. I had forgotten how tiresome it is when he is so fussy and I don't have Matt's help to count on. But we rocked and played with his toys and rocked some more. We also swung upside down and threw Caden on the bed. He loved it!! And he giggles so hard while he's hanging upside down! His little laugh just melts my heart every single time.

Caden normally only takes 1 nap a day, anywhere from 2-3 hours but on Sunday he took 2 naps. That morning we didn't go to church since he had fever so we were rocking and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (the only TV show that will actually hold his attention for a small amount of time) and the next thing I knew Caden was asleep. I was pretty tired myself so I decided to take Caden in my room and we could take a quick nap together. He slept for about 45 minutes and he started moving around. He slowly opened his eyes and I could tell he was confused about where he was. Once he saw me he sat up real quick and looked around, smiled really big and started clapping!! I'd say he was pretty happy to get to nap with mama!

Overall, we had a good weekend but we were both so so happy when Matt drove up!! A certain little boy had a huge grin on his face!!
