Happy 1st birthday little man!

One year ago at 9:16 a.m. a little boy named Cayden Michael Wessel was born. Cayden was 20 inches and 8 lbs. 4.9 oz. After going to the hospital the first time and being sent home only to return 2 hours later, we had a fun night talking in the labor & delivery room waiting for his arrival. Once Cayden arrived, the fun started and it has not stopped since.

1 year ago…

Milestones

1. We out to dinner Saturday night and they did not have any open tables except booths where high chairs can  not fit. So…we tried a booster! He did awesome!

3. Cayden is now drinking Whole Milk…No more formula!!

4a. Drank out of a straw…

4b. Drank Mommy’s Peanut Butter and Banana shake from the Life Cafe at Lifetime. And it ended up being more of Cayden’s shake than Mommy’s.

One night this past week after his bath I blow dried Caydens hair without his brush and this is what happened…..

As you can tell…he did NOT like his hair, so Mommy fixed it! Open-mouthed

And of course now that the weather is nicer….walks with Reggie are a must! Cayden loves his walks and he also loves hanging out in the swing.
