Cason at 6 weeks

Cason has officially graduated from being a "newborn". During weeks 5 and 6 he's turned into a "baby". New transitions include sleeping longer at night (his record is 6.5 hrs the last two nights), much more alert and content during the day, smiling very often, physically much more solid (finally grown into his loose newborn skin), and how can we forget to mention growing out of his size N diapers! :)
New experiences for Cason include:
* His first 4th of July spent at a BBQ in Saratoga with Vivek's family (see photo above) * A full day at Golden Gate Park to watch Daddy's double-header
* His first Playdate with new friends Penelope (two weeks older) and Hannah (two weeks younger)
* First time being babysat by Dadimaa and Dadaji while mommy and daddy went to a concert at Mountain Winery

Here are some additional new photos...

Love,
Lori, Vivek, and Cason

Cason's 1 Month Old!

The month of June has never gone by so fast! Our new family is doing great. We're continuing to love the adjustments of parenthood...as exhausting as they may be! :)
Cason had his 1 month doctor's appointment today! His weight has increased to 10lbs 6oz and he is 22 inches long. This puts him approximately in the 75th percentile for both weight and height. Aside from a slight diaper rash that I'm working to get rid of, he's a very happy and healthy boy!

Mom has started pumping milk a few times a week so that Dad can enjoy an occasional bottle feed with Cason. Here's a photo of his first bottle, which he took like a champ!
He's also spending time in his Baby Einstein play mat, and has begun to make new friends with the sea creatures. This and his travel swing are a great source of entertainment when he's awake during the daytime.
New things that Cason has experienced since the last post include:
*A trip to Saratoga to celebrate Father's Day with his mom, dad, Dadimaa (Grandmother), Dadaji (Grandfather), and Uncle Vinay
*A full day at Park Chalet in Golden Gate Park to celebrate Matt's Birthday
*A short trip to watch daddy play baseball
Other than that, he spends most days exploring his environment at home, and going on daily stroller rides with mom.

Here are a few photos from the Park Chalet...
Love,
Lori, Vivek, and Cason
