Cadence was telling Bridget that they could be roommates when they’re older.
Bridget asked what roommates are
C said people who live together.
Then she said they could get an apartment.
B asked what’s an apartment
Then C said (exasperated) ugh now I have to explain an apartment? 🙄
He’s mostly outgrown his newborn clothes and the size 1 diapers are small.
He’s been smiling at me.

He loves to be held tight.
He loves kisses and has been stretching to give me kisses.
He likes to stand up. His legs are so strong.
Still sleeps most of the day. Awake a couple of hours each day. Still been pretty good about sleeping though night. Many nights we don’t get out of bed at all!

G-daddy’s guess was the closest to his actual weight.
Blake got 3 immunization shots and was quite cranky. Nurse was impressed by how alert & strong he is! He can definitely track things now (watches me move across the room, likes the lights and Adam’s meat pictures). He likes to kick and stand, can mostly hold his head.
Blake has been adjusting well to life at home.
He still is mostly sleeping though does spend a couple hours everyday awake. He still is a chill baby and can be put down. He seems to suffer from reflux, which makes him uncomfortable with gas, burps, and makes it hard for him to eat (fusses while eating).
He likes looking at the sunlight. He farts a lot and loudly. He likes being bounced and snuggled.
Lesley told me this was her favorite comment of the day!
Cadence has adjusted well to school. Her first day was September 14. Here’s her review
She’s made friends & Bridget has already come over for a play date.
Cadence’s teacher, Lesley sends us text messages and photos of the kids playing which is nice and slightly weird. She also sends us weekly newsletters.
Cadence cried about 3 times at drop off and since then has been great. She proudly declares, I’m so glad I’m getting used to school!
So far, I’ve been impressed with the Boston school. They offer breakfast, snacks, and lunch for the kids at no cost. Cadence has tried some lunches and generally likes them. She has even tried lettuce and liked it!
The Boston school also offers dental care and eye tests at no cost. It’s nice that the public school cares for its students in a holistic manner.
She’s been napping during rest time & comes home singing songs she’s learned. She’s doing great and I couldn’t be more proud.
