All about Baby

My name is Caden Arthur. I thought I would introduce myself to the world. I was born Saturday, August 28, at 5:40 a.m. I weighed 6 lbs. 8.8 oz. and measured 19 in. long. Most important, I am the most beautiful baby ever! At least that's what Mommy's always telling me. I have Mommy's chin, ears, and mouth, and Daddy's cheeks, bow legs, and nose. My toes, eyes, and eyebrows are hybrids. My cheeks are round and soft, and Mama is always kissing them. I have no bum, but boy, does it rumble loud and big like my daddy's! And I burp loud and big like my mama. I also sneeze violently and multiple times like she does and I get the hiccups often.

I am so alert and curious; the world is an interesting place. I hate having my diaper changed and being sponge bathed and swaddled. I like my hair being washed and being sung or whistled to. My daddy's chest is super cuddly and I fall asleep there. My mama's chest I like to chomp on, and Mama gets mad at me, but not for long because I'm too cute. I like to nurse on my left side no matter which side of Mama I'm on. She calls me her little football. Sometimes she tries to give me a pacifier, but I prefer her pinky.

I may be skinny but I am very strong. I can already hold my head up on my own for a few seconds. I like to play with my face. I smile and laugh in my sleep. No, it's not gas! I'm not always rumbly (ok, I am). I am very peaceful when I sleep. I like to sleep with my arms up, behind my head, or beside my face. Although lately I have been fussy (maybe something Mommy ate or gas?), I'm usually not that way. On my good days and nights, I sleep for three or four hours between feedings, which makes Mama happy.

I can't believe I've been on this earth for over a week already! Check out more cute photos of me on Facebook.
