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.
