Six months

How can it be? Our little man is already six months!!! He is growing up to fast for his momma to handle. So just before he turned 5 months, on Feb. 2nd he rolled over. And since then, he is just changing non-stop!

He is grabbing at everything now! He loves to hold his bottle and take it out of his mouth and put it back in over and over. His pacifier too! He loves to smoosh blankets into his face. I have learned that playing peek-a-boo, and rubbing my face in his tummy make him laugh!

He sits in his high chair now. He tries to grab the spoon and bowl while eating now. I am making him baby food and freezing it. Jhon got me a food processor for Valentine's Day (Don't worry I got chocolates and roses too!) He has eaten my fresh pears, mangoes, avocado, carrots, sweet potatoes, and more. He is also eating food from those little mesh net things, he goes to town on bananas in those things. He has tried using a sippee cup a couple of times. He holds it to his mouth, but hasn't figured out tipping it back!

Everywhere we go, people stop and want to get a good look at Caleb. He smiles at everyone, and then they smile. Makes me happy to see my boy put smiles on peoples' faces!! I got stopped 6 times on night at Albertsons by people wanting to check him out.

My school had a skate night and Bub and I went. A lot of my students got their parents to bring them just so they could see Caleb. They call him Bub. They bring him presents, ask how he is doing. He even got Valentine cards. He is like their honorary little brother! I got pics of him with my students, it was so cute! He had a blast looking at the lights, and watching the kids skate. He loves watching older kids, always looks like he wants to join in on what they are doing!

He shows signs of teething, but no teeth yet! He wasn't feeling well and Jhon took him to the dr. at 5.5 months. He was 21 pounds 9 ounces. He gained over half a pound in 2 weeks.

The best part of my days when I work, is going to pick up Caleb. His sitter opens the door, holding him. He turns his head, sees it is me, and then the world stops for a second, my heart melts. My boy gives me the biggest, happiest grin. His eyes light up and we are so happy to see each other. Same thing days he is home with daddy and I get home. Now I get that smile when I got to get him out the crib too. Not much has ever made me as happy as that boy's smiles make me!

We love you Caleb and have treasured every minute of the last 6 months!
