Kaden's Ped Appointment
Perfect Baby sans the eczema
He is to start on Rx Dermasmooth, Ali was on it for a while too.
Time to start sleep training, yay me!
Okay to feed rice cereal when he seems interested; I'll probably hold of on this for another month or two.
Height- 24.25in; 21%
Weight 13lbs 6oz; 17%
Head Circumference 15.75 in; 5% - but when I measured I had him at 17%, nothing to worry about since he is growing fine and developing great.
Kaden loves to laugh and smile. He talks to you for as long as you'll talk back, especially on the changing table. He is generally a happy and quiet baby
He has found his fingers and is always shoving them in his mouth, sometimes sucking on them and other times chewing them in the few moments he isn't sucking on his pacifier. He is obsessed with that thing and boy does he discriminate, he only wants the MAM brand, all the rest he spits out.
Kaden is very entertained by his big sister, who pushes him on the swing, loves on him, reads to him and plays with him. She can still be a little rough but she really does love her baby brother.
Our strong boy likes to stand up, but hates tummy time. He can't be held enough and somehow manages to sneak in to bed with us every night for the WHOLE night! He is still feeding every few hours at night much to my chagrin. The worst part is he does this weird thing for an hour or two each night where he sleeps but his whole body is super active, kicking and punching away. No big deal unless you are sleeping next to him, which I am. I feel like one of those everlast punching bags they have hanging in the gym. If I move him to his bassinet he cries because he loves to sleep next to his mama. Its something I am working on fixing.
The outdoors are Kadens favorite place to be, no matter how fussy he is if you take him outside he is instantly soothed.
We call him Homer Simpson because of his comb over, Benjamen Franklin because he has some hair that hangs over his ears, Alfalfa because his tuft of hair up front that we normally comb over sometimes sticks straight up, and Jack-Jack (from Incredibles) because that same tuft of hair swirls occasionally and he looks like Jack-Jack from the movie. Maa calls him Iqbal, (a name and also 'Iq- one' 'bal- hair' or one hair).He has one more nickname- Mr. Inconvenient because he tends to get upset/sick/fussy at the WORST possible times. He is slowly outgrowing this name.
So far he has only had one accident, his big sister somehow flipped him out of his swing right onto the floor. Poor kid, I see many more of these types of accidents occurring with Aliya around.
Kaden is the sweetest little baby ever, when I nurse him he looks up at me and his eyes shine wide and sometimes he breaks into a smile. I can see how much he loves me in those eyes. I know he is happy and catch him smiling in his sleep often. Its so fun to watch him grow and change. He isn't scrawny anymore but a healthy filled out baby.
The last 4 months have flown by and he had fully integrated himself in our lives. Can't live without him.

Adam Mama
He can’t wait to teach her everything and she just wants to soak it all up. What a pair. Adam and Ali. They are bonded in their love of music. I still remember Adam when he was Alis age with his handheld mini piano, the size of a deck of cards, playing Indian music by ear. It was amazing to see the talent flowing out of him. From that little toy he found a passion and now he has become a full fledged musician. Playing piano, guitar, saxophone and a girl every now and again. Ali couldn’t have picked a better uncle and if she inherits his innate talent, which no other member of our family remotely possesses, she will be and is one lucky girl.
Adam moved into the the dorms recently, I can't believe the man he has become. So independent, smart and loyal. He is applying to medical school right now. Where did the time go? I still feel like I should be able to find him in the yard searching for pokemon.

Eid ul-Fitr
Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity," while Fiṭr means "breaking (the fast)". The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the twenty nine or thirty days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. Unfortunately Rob and I did not fast this month and allowed our worldly lives to interfere with our spiritual ones. One day I know we will step up and follow this tenant of Islam not only for the sake of religion but also in the improvement of ourselves. However we still love a great party and Eid is a time to celebrate! So Eid Mubarak to all!
On the joyous occasion of Eid ul-Fitr, please accept our best wishes to you and your family with prayers for peace, happiness and barakaat. Ameen.

Long lost friend
Where did you go my friend?
I have been searching for you for the last couple of years and I can not find you anywhere?
You used to come to me in the night and stay for hours.
We would travel to exotic places together, just you and me.
Remember the time we were on a sailboat in the middle of ocean or perhaps you remember when we took a trip to that cave high up in the mountains. No?
I have so many fond memories with you. You have taken me to places no one else has, and no one else ever will.
Sometimes I feel you are near but just like a whisper in the wind you are gone.
I wish you would return to me, my friend. I miss our long uninterrupted nights alone, together.
My body would just relax and you would take over.
Hours upon hours we would spend together in bed.
Why do you elude me so?
Please return to me.
I miss you, my friend, Sleep.

The Bricks
Out and about with the soon to be new parents! Katie is going to have a scheduled c-section on Sept 2nd and we will get to meet little Ava Grace. I am so excited for them and there is no way to describe how wonderful being a new parent is but they will see soon enough. A whole new member of your family that takes up your whole world. They steal every ounce of your energy but somehow it doesn't matter. Maybe because you have none to spare or maybe because you are so utterly in love that you will give your everything to them, sleep, energy, food, whatever they want or need, its theirs, without hesitation or reservation, it all theirs.
We love spending time with Kevin and Katie but soon they will have no time for us and little Ava will consume their lives. What a wonderful reason to miss them. Check out their pictures here and here (scroll down to middle).
