Our Big Boy!

 Our sweet boy rolled over for the first time this week! He rolled over all by himself on Monday (10/22) and then again for daddy on Wednesday (10/24)! We were SO excited! He is getting so BIG:) Chris finally caught some sweet gummy grins on camera so I had to include those as well!

ZOO BOO!

Last Friday, Caleb and I were invited to go to Zoo Boo with some of our friends and their little ones. The morning started off a little rough with limited parking, feeding schedules and the crazy heat, but we all ended up enjoying our day!

 

We started out at the pumpkin patch. I didn't get the best pictures but there were tons of people around and I had a short time to work with. Little man had just woke up from his nap so he was a little groggy:)

 

After the pumpkin patch, we went to cool off at the cafe and eat lunch. After all of our bellies were full and we had cooled off some, we headed out to the childrens petting zoo and play area. All the big kids had a blast on the playground and jungle gym. We sat in a nice shaded area on the playground and let the kiddos run around while we played with the babies:) Next, we ventured over to the merry-go-round. Sarah and I stayed back with the babies while the mommas and big kids went on the ride. While we were waiting, Caleb was smiling and laughing so I had a mini photoshoot with him in his stroller.

Finally, we started headed back. We stopped to feed the ducks and then the reptile/amphibion exhibit. We had a lot of fun, but next year will be better when little man can participate in some of the activities and sit up to see everything. Happy Fall Y'all!! 

Weekend with cousins

Finally after MUCH anticipation we got to meet baby Cori! The Dallas Brewers came into town the last weekend of September for some much needed family time:) It was surreal with us all together after adding three more peeps to the group (including Chad, Jamie's fiancee)! We started off with dinner Friday night and everyone getting their feel of the new babies. It took a little getting used to at first since it's been three years since we've had a baby around. Trying to visit, catch up, and take care of little ones all while eating is a two person job! When Caleb and Cori weren't being held, they were hanging out side by side in their bouncers. They are going to be the best of friends since they are just under a month a part in age! We also got to hang out with Luke who is at such a fun stage! He LOVES the Avengers and was running around playing Captain America, Spiderman, Iron Man..you name it! Uncle Chris loves him some Avengers too so they were like two peas in a pod..Chris loved every second of it!

Saturday started off with a yummy breakfast! Momma Brewer never makes a bad meal and she always has the best strawberries:) Saturday was a laid back, hanging around the house kind of day (the best in my book)! We visited until the Aggie football game came on. Then it was intense football watching and the Aggies won! Luke played and played and played! Poor guy was so pooped, he asked Brent if he could take a nap!

Luke had a photo shoot...

Aunt Jamie loved on Caleb:)

Afterward, we all headed to our house for yummy burgers and hotdogs followed by more football watching. Sadly, I have no pictures from our house. I guess I was too busy running around? It was sad to say goodbye, but luckily we will be seeing more of them shortly for Jamie and Chad's couple's shower, the BIG day (12/7/12) and then Christmas!!

Melcher Wedding

Chris and I were treated to another night out for our good friends Matt and Jenn's wedding. Nana and GiGi came to visit us early in the day and ended up watching little man for us while we went to the wedding. It was beautiful...they thought of everything down to the very last detail. The reception was at the Rainbow Lodge and OMG the food was DELICIOUS!! Glad we got to spend some time with the beautiful couple:)

Jenn was a beautiful bride!!

Date Night

Chris's parents so graciously offered to watch little man while we went out to dinner for our anniversary! Even though we talked a lot about Caleb, it was nice to be in the company of each other and not worry about scarfing food down our throats before the baby wakes up. Papasitos was a yummy treat and as usual we ate way too much salsa..ha!

It's hard to believe that we've been married for three years and are now parents! It's amazing how your life changes for the better with a baby even when life comes at you at full force and makes things twice as hard. We work together as a team and are thankful for each other every day. The sacrifices we have made will only make us stronger in the long run. I love watching Chris take care of our boy. It melts my heart and I've caught myself crying at different times over the bond the two of them have. I love you, Chris! You know my insecurities, faults and tolerances yet you love me unconditionally! Not a day goes by that I don't thank the Lord above for making you my husband. Here's to the next chapter in our lives:)

 

Thank you Memaw and Granddaddy!

Three months

Holy Cow..our baby is three months (well he's actually 3 1/2 months now but the pictures are at 3 months..ha!). We have a changed baby on our hands. He is no longer fussy and crying all the time and he even SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT..WHAT?! Yes, the week before he turned 3 months our little man started going to bed between 9-10 and sleeping straight through until 5-6..heaven!

He is full of smiles and giggles! He is the happiest bright and early in the morning after his tummy is full. Our little man will kick, squeal, giggle and show off that gummy grin non-stop! It makes it hard to leave you so mommy can get ready for work:( He is also holding his head up more. We're not quite there yet but so close! You are even trying to sit up on your own. Every time I lay you on a pillow, you look like your trying to do a sit-up. We started helping you up to a sitting position and you LOVE to look around at everything. We're still working on tummy time..you don't seem to like it that much. You get really frustrated and start making grunting noises after five minutes, but you can hold your head up and almost push up on your arms.

Daddy gets the BIGGEST gummy-grin smiles out of you! He has little songs he sings and feet movements that get you laughing up a storm. Mommy on the other hand is sticking to patty-cake and wheels on the bus. They make you smile and laugh but not as much as daddy (were working on it)! We also started playing peek-a-boo and you love whenever we sit you on our legs propped up so your close to our faces and we talk or sing silly songs. It seems like you also imitate our smiles. If we smile really big at you, you will give us one right back...melts our hearts every time!

Lisa says you have great days EVERY time I pick you up. All the other kiddos love you! Whenever daddy drops you off in the mornings, they gather around and say "Hi, baby Caleb." Chris even gets hugs from the other kids..he is a hero! Lisa even thinks you are getting a dimple on your right side. Whenever you get to really smiling and laughing she sees it...we're still working on capturing that:)

You still LOVE bath time! You could stay in the bath tub for hours it seems like. We both say you are going to be a swimmer because you kick like CRAZY! You are even pushing your legs against the back of the tub and lifting yourself up. Your entire face lights up as soon as we put you in the tub and you smile and giggle the whole time.

We are loving this stage with you and can't wait to see how much you grow and change next month!

Game Day!

Oh little man you dont stand a chance! This is definitely a sports family and apparently we start em' young! Too bad Sam Houston lost to Baylor:(
