Julie, Cameron and Cadence Watts: February 2009

I am so sorry to our blog fans who have been checking in frequently to the site and finding no updates. I finally have a bit of down time on my hands to fill everyone in on how we have been. Becoming a mom has been an absolutely amazing experience, and I am finally feeling like I have regained a bit of sanity. Cameron and I are doing great and are working on getting a routine down with Cadence. I am currently staying at home and plan to return to work in May. Cameron began the MBA program at Saint Mary's this January, so he is very busy with work, school and being a dad. Cadence is eating, sleeping and pooping like a champ. Cam and I decided to use a cloth diaper service, and we are very happy with this choice. So far we have avoided diaper rash (probably just jinxed myself), but have been faced with several diaper explosions...haha...these are always a treat to change.

Cadence is now 7 weeks old. It is crazy how much she changes each and every day. Today I measured her and she is now 24 inches long...she has grown a whole 4 inches since birth! Weight wise, we are a little unsure, but when we last checked (a week ago) she was 10.5 lbs. She is very active and cooing a lot. I love it when she laughs, even if it is not at my jokes or funny voices. She loves to go on to ichat and visit with her Aunt Wendy! Below are some of my favorite pictures of Cadence as we round out 2 months!
