Snow day

We don’t get to many snow opportunities here in NC but it was nice for Jayden and I to play a little this weekend. The first day was kinda frozen over and we mainly sled in the backyard. Sunday the melting started and we could make a snowman. Once we built Frosty, Jayden wanted to build another so we built Frosty’s baby (not pictured).
Carden is 7 weeks old and growing rapidly. We went to the doctor today and he weighed 7 lbs 12 oz. He’s growing too fast for me; I’m already missing my little 5 lb., 6 lb., and soon 7 lb. baby boy. He really is a true infant/baby now; he’s grown out of 4 of his preemie outfits, on occasions he will go 4 hours before the next feeding at night. He’s off his monitor, and the freedom to walk with him around the house is wonderful. He also is starting to want to hold his head up more and more, right now about 30 seconds at a time. His beautiful complexion has disappeared temporarily to give way for a little baby acne but we know it’s short lived. Our biggest dilemma is his diaper rash, we’ve been to the doctor 4-5 times trying different tricks, hopefully today’s visit will be the magical one.
Jayden still likes her brother and doesn’t want to give him back yet. She will jockey for attention from time to time but fairly harmless. She continues to do well with her potty training; we had a couple successes with #2 this past week, yeah! Jayden also put her coat on by herself yesterday, of course with verbal instructions by mom but otherwise I didn’t help. Jayden also got her hair cut for the first time a couple weeks ago; she did great and was not scared at all.
Jay and I are really enjoying our addition, yes it’s a lot more work for now but it’s fun to just stare and smile at what a miracle we’ve been given. Jay had to spend 2 nights in Atlanta last week on business; I managed just fine but was looking forward to him coming home. I’ve been able to bike about 2 times a week recently, which feels good to be back out there. Jay and I also managed to race a couple weeks ago, it was fun but muddy.
