He has always had (and still has) the absolute cutest little nose ever!

Its just amazing how far he has come. He put on a good fight that is for sure. (and I love the picture of him with his hand in his diaper LOL)

he's come so far... i love how he's sstill the same little MAN in these pictures as he is now. well done kim & well done caden-- he is a beautiful boy. :)


this makes me feel so guilty when we reference our 33 weekers as "preemies"... i know how lucky we were. i am & always will be so grateful for your support while we were waiting for them. you never judged me, or made our babies a competition, but you helped me make sense of the NICU experience with nothing but kindness & honesty, & i love you for it.
