The first few months with Caeden

Caeden's first smile...only 4 days old :)
Caeden after his sponge bath...he hates the cold!
My precious baby boy, sleeping like an angel.
The first few months with Caeden flew by and I absolutely loved being at home with him. I was lucky enough to get to take 6 weeks off for maternity leave and my days were filled with taking care of this sweet baby. The top picture was the first time that we caught Caeden smiling. I immediately grabbed my camera and caught the moment! He LOVED his Rainforest Swing and smiled for the first time on September 16, 2007 at only 4 days old :) Caeden then had his first sponge bath on September 16th as well. He did not enjoy having his clothes off so we washed him super fast and wrapped him up in his towel. It amazes me how much he use to scream when you would undress him because now he wants nothing else then to be naked!! HA! The bottom picture is one of my favorites because he looks so sweet while he sleeps. I would catch myself just sitting and watching him sleep and being so amazed at the beautiful son that God gave me. I will never admit to Caeden that the first few months that I was pregnant I prayed that God would give me a baby girl. I kept thinking, "I am not cut out for boys. I am so girly and I would totally ruin a boy." Well God knew what was best and he gave me the most perfect, precious baby boy that anyone could ever ask for. I love my little man to pieces and I now realize that it takes a special person to be a mommy of little boy and I feel so priviledged that God chose me for the job!
