Milestones!!

As of tomorrow, it will be 5 months since we have had Caydence home from the hospital. Time has gone by so fast! I can't believe we have been home 5 months and next month Caydence will turn 1 year old! Since bringing her home from the hospital, Caydence has progressed so much. Within a month of being home she was able to hold her head up on her own, then she started popping out teeth like you wouldn't believe, she smiles and laughs like crazy, she went from not being able to get a sound out to screaming just as loud as a normal baby, she knows how to give high 5's and wave HI, and now she is sitting up all by herself. It is amazing how much she has grown up over these last 5 months! She has put on some weight too, she is now 12.9 lbs and 25 1/4 in. Even though we have our days (OK, many many days) that all this is a lot and we are going crazy, I can always look at her smile at me or do something new and forget about all the bad and think about what is good. And what is good is that she is doing so great. Before we left the hospital I remember everyone saying to expect being back quite a bit for this or that because most kids like her end up back in the hospital pretty often. Well, I think 5 months of being out of that place and not having to be readmitted is something to be proud of!

I think she's proud of herself too!!
