Cade Solomon is here!

The pics are not in any particular order as I was in a rush to post pics in town and am now writing a note to go along with them at my mom’s house.

Cade Solomon was born at 5:55pm on Sunday September 21st. It was a pretty quick labor overall and a whole heck of a lot more intense than Rad’s was. I don’t remember feeling as much pain the first time around but little Cade brought it on!  Cade weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz’s and 20 inches long. He just had his one week check up and has already gained 7 oz’s! He eats a ton… and man I feel it.  He is a really content baby and has hardly cried at all. He eats ever couple of hours through the night and I am not getting much sleep but as one of his onesie’s (from Aunt V) says “sleep is for the weak”. Cade was delivered in less than ten minutes and after three pushes and he was one puffy little guy until about yesterday. He’s not so swollen anymore but he still has a bloodshot eye where it has some king of hemorrhage. The doc says that it should be better by week 3.

Shayli can’t get over how cute Cade is and Rad, although a little disappointed that he can’t ride bikes or play trucks yet, really loves his new little brother. He is the best diaper disposer ever!

So for the pics…

1- Shayli and Rad playing in troll park, a pretty little spot just down from our house. We took a walk there yesterday, it was exhausting but nice.
2- Pretty Shayli smiling for the camera.
3- Rad with his hat backward… the only way to wear it if you were to ask him.
4- Sweet Cade.
5- Rad being rad.
6- Valeri says that with my fingers sticking out from behind Cade’s head like this he looks like Shrek but his eyes are open in this one at least.
7- Here you can really see how puffy he was.
8- Rad holding Cade when he was about three hours old. Hasn’t been so interested in holding him since. The pics that I have of Shayli and Cade are all on the camera… these pics came from my cell. I’ll post the camera pics later.
9- This was Cade’s first pic taken. It’s kind of dark because Cade really didn’t like light for the first few days.
10- On the way to the doc this morning.
11- If he’s not sucking on me he’s usually sucking on his thumb.
