Cadence’s first Christmas!

Here’s some photos from Christmas!

So nice that most of the family came to Boston for a visit.

The Kwiks came the weekend of the 22nd. So nice to finally all be together (we figured it hadn’t been since Jason & Hai got married in 2006!). Brandon was very sweet with Cadence. Jade is having a girl in May and we’re all excited to continue the tradition of dressing the kids alike.

More random Cadence observations (one month old!)

  • Gets super fidgety when gassy (kicks her legs a lot) – doesn’t mind wet diapers as much.
  • I definitely have noticed her weight gain the past 2 weeks.
  • she coos & smiles more. I love when she laughs in her sleep.
  • The past couple of days she’s slept really well. Haven’t gotten up as much (once or twice) during the night. I feed her & she goes back to sleep. If she’s fussy, I put her on my chest and she’s good. She seems to be in a better mood & more alert during the day. It’s going to be hard not to share a bed. On a side note, I really missed sleeping on my stomach while pregnant but haven’t done it yet!
  • She still hates getting her diaper changed.
  • “Hi baby(z)” has become our favorite game – Cadence smiles when you say it to her (see video in December uploads).
  • She thinks her feet are very amusing. She slumps over & stares @ them while thinking they’re the coolest.
  • Still awake & fussy 10 – 1 ish. Read on Lucie’s List that this is normal – babies are on sensory overload by that time. Bouncing on the pilates ball and walking seem to calm her down.
  • I think Cadence recognizes me. Nurse at the one month said she calms with me.
  • | second week of December Cadence started blowing spit bubbles. Super cute.
  • | everyone has been telling us how beautiful Cadence is; totally giving me a big head.
  • Her right armpit gets super sweaty.
  • Just before Christmas time, Cadence started playing with her tongue (sticking it out when she smiles) and drooling.

One Month Visit

Yesterday we had our appointment with nurse Elaine Dors. Said our baby was perfect! Though she was judgmental about the whole co-sleep thing (Adam lied to her).

Adam thought Cadence would weigh in at 9 lbs 2 ounces; I thought around 10. She was 10 lbs 11.3 oz (85%); height 22″ (86%); height circumference 38.5 cm (93%).

She’s definitely been feeling heavier…

Cadence – December
