La Familia Vasquez

Three fifths of the Vasquez clan came out for a Sunday visit. We had a nice chat and enjoyed a game of horsehoes. Caden had no problem getting into his tough guy mode when Fernando picked him up.

Pickin an Grinnin

We had Greg and Debbie down for dinner Friday night. Saturday we were up early and out picking up trash on Katia's stretch of road. Debbie stayed home with wee Caden. They had no problem bonding. A few short hours on the road and we were back on the ranch trying to cool down.

Jr has taken to watching as Gayle types away on the computer.

Thursday at the Theatre

Caden joined the Jamul Drama Club...

Rookie Jumper

It was late afternoon and there appeared no way to calm our wee lee. Gayle decided to introduce him to the jolly jumper. She described the adventure in an email..."he's now quiet as a mouse, but his eyes are as big as saucers."

Anger Management

So ya, babies cry and scream. I'm getting used to the routine. Could be hunger or boredom with the current environment. Maybe it's lack of sleep or any of a number of challenges. The remedy is usually quite simple and easy to administer. A song, or a quick walk and jingle, a bottle or just a new toy.

Yet there are times when there is no consoling. This can cause frustration with many parents. I find it somewhat humorous. Please don't think me demented or sadistic. I just can't believe a lil 14 pounder can muster so much energy. Then to unleash that energy in an all body wail of terror. Well that's just too much for me.

Chill

Not too much to report here. Caden was particularly unruly on Friday, then spent the majority of the weekend asleep. We did upgrade his nipples this weekend. Our lil 3 mos. old graduated from newborn pinholes to 3 month medium flow robusto. Feeding time is down 42%, while post feed spewing is up 13.6%

Caden Amadeus

Auntie M sent down a blanket that our lil man quite enjoys. Knitted in such a way that he can get his fingers and toes stuck in the blanket. This provides hours of entertainment. Here's lil Amadeus playin poodle.

Cat Scratch Fever

I guess we've been neglecting the emery board. I awoke to a chirpin hungry lil man and what do I find...a good sized gash on his wee proboscis. Poor guy has no idea how to conrol those mitts.

La Familia Vasquez

Spent the afternoon with friends out in Spring Valley. Fernando and Norma couldn't wait to meet the lil white wonder. Enjoyed visiting with Nando's mom and four brothers, as well as all the families.

With a little coaching, Caden continued his prowess of the pose. Alright lil buddy, in this pic you have to out tough guy the big man Fernando....
