Yes, I know, it's been way too long...

Caiden is now 8 1/2 months old! He is quite the flirt and prefers very pretty girls with dark hair. It can be short or long...he is pretty flexible. When he sees one of these fine ladies he is all smiles and actually follows her around the room to see if she is going to come talk to him. It is very amusing to watch. Of course, he is so handsome that he hasn't been turned down yet.

Caiden got his first tooth last week (front bottom left) and so he hasn't been sleeping quite as well as he should...He has also mastered his crawling so instead of the army scoot he is now on his hands and knees traveling the span of the house. Baby gate time!

Here are some pictures from the past couple of months...Enjoy! xoxo The Cox Clan


Just looking adorable...


My new scooter/walker that I like to ride around (with supervision of course)

Trying to crawl out of my towel!!

I am all smiles! Look at the all the toys I got for Christmas!

My new puppy dog hat...It was great for the snow!

Our house all blanketed in snow...it was pretty to look at! This is Christmas Day...

Wearing Dad's hat. Go Cougs!

Oops this is sideways, oh well. This is Caiden in his toy bucket that he decided to crawl into.

Not a happy camper after an hour of trying to get the perfect Christmas card photo...

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I couldn't help but post a few extra pics of Caiden in his costume among a few others we recently took...enjoy!

So freaking adorable, he loves his diaper being changed!

Future Quarterback!!

Fun in the Fall!

Caiden is going to be 6 months old on Sunday....where has the time gone?? He is rolling over and in fact rolls over and over and over again. You can't take your eyes off him for a minute! He is also quite a giggler, laughing at everything. His new favorite game is Peek a Boo (which is fitting since Halloween is tomorrow). He also just learned to give a high five and he is working on his wave...he REALLY wants to and we know it won't be long. He is also very close to sitting up by himself (he can do it for a few seconds)! Come back soon to see him dressed as a bear cub for Halloween. Is it bad if we take him trick or treating and eat all of his candy? ;)


Caiden checking out Uncle Chris...he wasn't too sure of him at first but ended up really bonding with him and can't wait until he visits again.


He is quite the ham for the camera...



I love this picture, he had just gotten out of the bath and look at those eyelashes!!


What a happy little guy!

Practicing sitting up on Mama!

Daddy carved some pumpkins and I got to help!!

Mama and Caiden having a moment...

The first time he fell asleep he was eating peas. I don't think he liked them very much so he just decided to conk out.

Caiden is practicing his wave!

Big Man on Campus! 4 months!

It has been a little while since I have updated but Caiden is growing fast as ever and we have been having SO much fun! He is now 4 1/2 months old and packing on the lbs. At his appointment the other day he was 15 lbs and 26 inches long. Dr. said he is all caught up in weight (55th percentile) and is going to be tall (82nd percentile for height). Said he would be "an inch or two taller than Dad." Since Ryan thinks he is already 6' (yes, we know he is dreaming)this was a bit of a blow, I mean, how could his SON possibly be taller than HIM? ;) Caiden's head is still a bit of a peanut in the 15th percentile. He has been talking A LOT, he started this new shrieking and screaming at the top of his lungs while he plays and is quite content just looking around at his surroundings and his colorful toys.
A few big events that happened recently...Caiden went to his first Cougar game! Pictures are posted below. He also was baptized (pictures also posted below). Other than that we have just been hanging out having fun.


Caiden and Jonas...like two peas in a pod!

Mama and Caiden!

Caiden's Two Month Checkup!

Well today we had our two month checkup with Dr. Sliman and everything went well. Caiden confirmed my fears...he is growing at an extremly fast rate! Which is a good thing...I know. :) He weighs 10 lbs, 13 oz. (30th percentile) and is 23 3/8 inches long (70th percentile). His head is a tiny peanut coming in at the 12th percentile. So to sum things up he is a tall skinny guy with a small head.
He is continuing to smile more and more each day. He loves when Ryan blows lightly in his face and surprisingly he really loves having his diaper changed! Our next adventure is in a couple of weeks when we hit the road to Portland, Oregon where Ryan and I are both in our good friend's Marcey and Ryan's wedding. Hopefully Caiden will be on his best behavior!

Happy 4th of July! Caiden is 9 weeks!

Nine weeks...two months...we can't believe how fast the time is going! Caiden is smiling more everyday and really starting to interact more with us and his surroundings. Here he was on the 4th of July!

We just got a new play mat for him (thanks to my belated work baby shower) and he really enjoys it!
