We continue to be completely head over heels in love with this little guy...

| I am obsessed with hoodies on him!! <3 |
 |
| And sunglasses! Haha!! |
 |
| He loves this bouncer. (Even though it looks like he's screaming in this picture haha!) |

Kaladin has been a happy, joyful bundle of cuddles and giggles.
This is where I'm supposed to post a video of him giggling but I lost a ton of pictures and videos from this month of his life due to our hard drive crashing on our desktop and I thought I backed everything up...but apparently not! :( Missing one file. This month's file. Boo!
One night, Daniel was out of town for work and I worked on Christmas gifts for family. Kaladin and Toblakai were big helpers...
Every day, we have "voice lessons". I sing to him and one day, I caught him on video "singing" along!! ;)
We went home for Christmas. Read about all that excitement ;)
Since being home from Christmas vacation, Kaladin still does not sleep through the night.
I have him on a very relaxed schedule and did so on purpose for the trip to Georgia, as we knew it was going to be hectic and I knew he needed to be flexible when it came to sleep times and wake times. And it worked like a charm! He was great!
So now, that we are back home, we are working on getting him into a routine of sorts. So far, so good. He is doing well and even though he could be sleeping longer, I can't complain. He is happy when he is awake and play time is always a blast! His gummy smile melts my new mommy heart.
A few days after we got home, we woke up one morning to find out that the cold Texas weather froze our Aquaponics in the backyard, causing it to overflow and not pump water back into the fish tank. The poor fish were swimming in about 1 inch of water. Some of them were sideways...
Daniel had to rush out the door to PT so I was the one to play fish rescuer! It was freezing cold (duh) so I bundled up in Daniel's sweatshirt and Daniel's tennis shoes (haha what a sight to see!) and scooped up every fish and put them in a bucket (laundry basket) in our garage. When Daniel got home about an hour later, he found our extra air pump and rigged it to the side of the bucket. The poor fishies barely made it!! But they were alive and swimming around all day. Success, I thought!
But then, the next morning Daniel woke up and all but one catfish and two goldfish had jumped right out of the bucket onto the garage floor and died :(
It was actually really sad... But we are so thankful that our system did not freeze over while we were out of town!!

Daniel, the artist, was painting some miniatures (I'll try to remember to update with a picture of one when Kaladin wakes up since the painting stuff is in his room lol) and Toblakai was very curious!
Kaladin was 2 oz shy of 11 lbs at his last dr appt, so before we left for Georgia, I decided to take out the insert in his car seat, because it is to be used until they are 11 lbs. Safety first, especially when we are driving for 16 hours!
Now, he only has the headrest, which will be coming out shortly as well, I do believe. Based on how his head falls when he sleeps in the car, it just looks pretty uncomfortable to me...and when Mom isn't comfortable; ain't nobody comfortable ;P
His weight is in the 5th percentile and his height is in the 55th percentile. We will be watching his weight closely as the dr's want to make sure he hits every milestone. We are all assuming he just takes after his petite mama. ;) But there he certainly is packing on some weight. His little legs are getting chunky and both Daniel and I can tell when we hold him that he is getting heavier!
Kaladin smiles really big when we sing and make eye contact with him. He is pretty vocal during the day; I believe he is exploring his vocal chords ;) He is definitely a boy and moves all around even though he can't get anywhere yet, ha! Tummy time is a breeze for him; I'm so thankful that he does not hate it like some babies. He is growing out of some newborn outfits, slowly but surely.
We have truly enjoyed every stage Kaladin goes through. And a lot of friends have told us that Kaladin is an easy baby, though we don't have anything to compare him to haha so we just agree. He fusses when he's uncomfortable, ready for a change, or hungry. We know how to fix his problems and that makes for one little happy family ;) We are following his development through the Wonder Weeks app and it is so interesting to read about the different "leaps" he goes through in each phase. I'm so thankful for that and reading up on how to help him in his developments. He is such a little guy but there are big things happening in his little brain and he's becoming more aware of the big world around him!
