Growing too fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caleb has been doing all kinds of new things! Growing way too fast for momma!!!
He loves grabbing his feet and playing with his toes. He is pushing himself way up on his tummy instead of laying flat and whining during tummy time. He is babbling like crazy. And he has laughed a couple of times. I had to buy him 6-18 month socks and they are already plenty tight. He is wearing 6 month clothes and 9 month clothes. I weighed myself, then did it holding him. 18 pounds. He isn't even 3.5 months yet. Slow down on the growing Bub!!!!

Utah

Caleb and I drove to UT with mom on Friday and then flew back on Monday. We got to go to the Oscarson family Christmas party, my first in MANY years! Emily and her wonderful family were there. So Caleb got to meet 3 cousins. It was just a fabulous weekend that I didn't want to end!!! Next weekend we will have Solomon with us and head to UT, so Caleb will be meeting his brother and other 5 cousins. Nathan and Lona will be in AZ. I will FINALLY meet Maddie Sue! YEAH!

Thanksgiving- 11 Weeks

Jhon had to leave for work at 1, so Caleb and I had two Thanksgivings with friends! They saw on Facebook that Caleb and I would be alone most of the day, so they invited us over. Angela, one of my "sisters" from work had us over. Their food was wonderful! Then we went to April's house. Jhon was able to join us later in the evening there. So I got to have 2 dinners with no cooking! I bought a bag of rolls.
Caleb is doing well. He was having some acid reflux issues and acted as if he was in pain for a few days. I had been forgetting his probiotics. Went back to them and the problems disappeared. He is doing great holding his head up. He has got to be strong to hold up his giant 90+ percentile head! He must have a big brain in there! I joke that he must be right brained, I think it is heavier on that side since he leans it that way most often!

This picture and the next 3 are of Caleb very EARLY one morning. It was a day Jhon and I both had to work, and I was on Caleb duty. He has
had a habit of waking up at 4 or 5, WIDE AWAKE. I put him in the swing and was talking to him. I asked him if he thought his momma didn't need sleep. He started grinning like this.

These are after I got him dressed. I said, so you think it is funny that momma isn't getting any sleep, and he kept on laughing. Thanks son!

This is him in the onesie now.
This was him in the same onesie back when he was just a few weeks old!

Smiles

10 Weeks

Caleb is "talking" up a storm these days. His favorite word is goooo. He makes so many noises. He loves his playmat with music and a flashing sun that changes colors. He kicks and squeals for so long. He loves it.

Going to work has been an adjustment. It is so great that Jhon gets to stay home with the baby on Mondays and Tuesdays. Our babysitter is wonderful. He is always so happy when I pick him up. They said today he was on the playmat with their baby girl and they were holding hands for awhile. Being back at work hasn't been as bad as I was expecting.

And just when I think Caleb can't get any cuter, I get pictures like these!!



So sweet

9 weeks

Caleb went to the pediatrician on 11/10. He was 15 lbs. 1 oz. He is a bit over 24", and has a big head. He was a little sad after getting all his shots, but by the evening was feeling much better.
Here are some recent pics...

Baby Blessing

Caleb was blessed on Sunday, the 8th of November. Mom and Dad were able to come for the weekend. We had a great time! Jhon did a great job. It was sweet seeing him and Caleb looking at each other after wards as Jhon held him. Caleb was holding on to Jhon's finger so tight. My friend Sylvette also came. Caleb wore the same blessing outfit that his cousins Jacob, Dwight, Ammon, Preston, and Rhett wore. My mom bought it in Belgium, and it is special that all the boys have worn it!

Found out about a cool website...made these in just a few minutes!!

Bub's First Halloween- 8 Weeks

For some reason I have started calling my son Bub, and various variations such as Bubba, BubBub and Bubs. So when you see these names, I am talking about Caleb! I try to still call him Caleb several times a day so he doesn't grow up thinking his name is Bub.

Caleb turned 8 weeks old on Halloween. He is doing great, growing healthy and strong. As you can see from earlier posts, he is a smiler. Bub smiles at me all day long. First thing in the morning he smiles for several minutes straight. I make goofy smiles and faces and he tries to copy them. It is hilarious!!! Right now even, he is laying by me on the couch, laughing, smiling, and kicking away. He really only fusses when really tired or really hungry. Oh, also when he doesn't like me trying to dress him and it is taking too long!

He has started sucking on his whole fist. We thought this might mean he was hungry, but he doesn't always eat when we feed him after he is ferociously sucking on his fist. Also, when he does get mad at me he snorts while he cries. It is so cute! He will snort 3 or 4 times in a row.He loves to "talk" to me. We have long conversations of me repeating back to him all the sounds he makes.


For Halloween we went to our ward's trunk or treat. We didn't get any candy of course, but walked around seeing everyone's costumes and showing off Caleb's costume. He slept the whole time. Then we went to a Halloween party. Our friend the Richards and the Woods were there. We also made some new friends. Caleb did great. He is calm and happy. He also went with me to a Halloween party at the Garrards for several hours and was wonderful.

Guess Who is 30???

I tried posting a blog for my dear husband last night, but blogspot was having technical difficulties. So here goes.

Jhon Micah Mosley is 30. Yes folks, I will be 35 soon. I am a cradle robber!!! Jhon is a wonderful husband and father! He was worth the LONG wait!!!!

Some reasons I love Jhon....

He loves to surprise me by cooking my breakfast when he gets home from working all night!

He loves to plan fun, special stuff-like a picnic at Red Rock on New Years day. He always is thinking of new things we can do to spend time together.

He tolerates me taking a million pictures of everything wherever we go!

He grabbed on to the gospel as soon as he was introduced to it and has a beautiful testimony.

He is insanely smart, and though it drives me crazy- he is ALWAYS right, in anything we debate!

The kisses he gives me on the top of my head.

I love that he remembers exactly what I was wearing and what I said when we met. I would never have remembered.

I love that he is a good sport when I drag him to things like the bridal expo, Rodeo Drive on our trip to LA, and other girl stuff!

He is a great father to Solomon. Solomon's eyes light up around his dad. They love to play together, their wrestling makes me nervous sometimes, but the boy loves it.

I know he will be a great father to Caleb. He already is!

He is always excited to go to the temple. When he was a member for a year, we did a whirlwind temple tour and went to 5 temples in just a few months. He also honors his priesthood and loves to be able to serve others using it.

He is so tall, I can wear whatever heels I want and he is still way taller!

He always gives me really thoughtful gifts, and thinks about what I will like. It is really sweet!

He knew we were going to get married the week we met, maybe even the first night we hung out. He let me figure it out a couple of weeks later!

Ho cooks, barbeques, and loves to have friends over for dinner.

There are a million other things I love about him...but I got to save some for next year's blog!

Here are some pics of then....and now!

Outfit from Jeanne Marie, pumpkins

My former roommate Jeanne Marie gave Caleb the cutest pants and hat when we went up to Utah. So I had to get pics of Caleb when he wore the outfit. I was out and about all day and strangers kept stopping me to say how cute he was and peeking into his carseat to look at him.
Today April and I took our kids to Gilcrease Orchard here in town. They also have pumpkins. There are some pics of us there also.

Six weeks of Joy

Mr. Caleb has been here for 6 weeks now. He is more fun every day! He smiles several times a day now. We love his little Elvis lip curl. We went to our ward family home evening last night and he was just happy as can be. Everyone commented on what a cute, calm, happy baby he is! I tell them he is calm until it is time to eat. He doesn't play when it is time to eat! I had a newborn Halloween sleeper, so I put it on him. So tight, but I got some pics of him in it! I also tried getting shots of all the faces he makes. I also took some pics of him in a camoflauge onesie in honor of my dad. He was 20 years army. So I took some pics to email him. It was funny, I took some pics of Caleb, then I told him to smile for grandpa. He on cue gave me a big grin! It was so perfect!
Caleb met my friends Kathryn & Laura this week. We met Kathryn during her lunch hour. Then Laura brought me dinner and visited awhile. I have such great friends!!!

He went to the Dr. a day before he was 5 weeks. He was a healthy 11 pounds 15 ounces. And 22.75 inches. His doc said he is doing great. He had tiny bit of a cold last week, but never got a fever or seemed too miserable! Thank goodness!

Caleb is a good listener

From day one, people have commented how alert little man is and how he seems to look like he is intently listening to people. I have pics of him having talks with my mom at just a week and a half old. Then these other two pics are of him with Amber and with my Uncle David. I think the way he is looking at them all is so cute.

Five weeks

Caleb had a dr. visit this week, one day before he was 5 weeks. He is up to 11 pounds, 15 ounces. And he is now 22.75 inches, he had grown half an inch from the last visit. The pediatrician thinks he is doing great.

I feel like I am starting to know his signals and we have had lots of good days due to this. The day he went to the dr. was a little rough, he had a shot, and I think it made him a little fussy.

We went to Utah last weekend with my mom. We had a little shower up there at my grandma's house. When I talked to my Aunt Anna when I was pregnant, she didn't want me to go up there for a shower until after he was born so people could meet him. It was a lot of fun. I am glad he got to meet his great-grandma and we got a 4 generation pic. Lots of aunts and cousins came to the shower or to visit on Sunday. Also, my old roommates, and old friends who live in Utah now. It was a lot of fun and I appreciate all who came.

While we were up there, Caleb discovered his tongue. He started rolling it, pushing it out, & it was funny to watch. He is already following things with his eyes, & grasping things. We have a playmat with a hanging ball. When mom was here last week we watched him staring up at the ball. Then he just swung his arm & hit that ball right in the middle.

Love this face

Love how he is looking at my Uncle David. We have pics of him looking at lots of people like this.

Almost a month old!!!!

So here is the boy on the way to a month. He will be there on Saturday! The first two pics were earlier today. He was chilling on the couch and making the cutest faces. He was sporting a mohawk today also.





This was yesterday. I just had to get a shot of the onesie.

This was a pic of him napping this week. I thought it was cute.



Today we went to visit with my friend and her daughter. We passed the Vegas sign on the way, so Caleb and I stopped for a picture. A guy asked me if I came to town to get him started gambling early!

I can't get enough of him!!!

Grins, yawns, naps, and so on!

Smiles and more sleeping!

This is the first smile I caught on camera. Then more sleeping. He just looks so darn cute and sweet while sleeping! Also, he is loving hearing stories already. The joys of being a teachers son! Books already!

Some random shots!

One is of Caleb getting measured at first pediatrician appointment. Another is of Caleb, myself, my friend Syl and the big, giant bear she got him.
