I love this face....3rd attempt at ravioli
I love this face more...


Caden is doing great, finally getting the front TWO teeth...slowly...so he doesn't look like dracula. He isn't walking yet, but definitely pulling up on everything. The CHW dietician Julie S. has him on pediasure for two feeds a day so he will continue to gain weight and so far it's working. Caden is weighing in now at almost 22 pounds. Otherwise, we are exploring new foods, new textures, and just having fun being messy and throwing food on the carpet which drives David absolutely crazy! We are thankful each day God brings to us, and the blessings he continues to give our family.

Love to you all ~ Melissa

  1. It looks like you both are having so much fun having him home! I do love the last picture!!! Lilly has been on pediasure and it has worked wonders for her and it will give him more flavors to try! (Lilly likes the berry and Vanilla) I can't believe he is almost 22 pounds, that is SO great! YOU GO CADEN!! Give him XOXO from Lilly!

  2. Trade secret of having a child in a high chair...place a sheet under the high chair or anywhere in throwing distance. It saves a lot of frustrated moments!
    The pictures were great!
