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:(

Lisa's Little Ones

Well after 8 fortunate and wonderful weeks at home, I finally returned to the work force. We were lucky and found a great in-home child care provider only 5 minutes from our house. Mrs. Lisa is taking care of our little man and so far Caleb is adjusting really well. Chris and I decided, since we have different hours, its easiest if Chris drops him off in the mornings and I pick him up after work. This has helped me so I dont have to ever say goodbye to my baby boy! The first day back was really hard for me! I was good until Lisa sent me a picture of our little man completely happy in his bouncer with a gummy grin on his face. I lost it! Since then, things are much better and were all getting accustomed to our new schedules. Even little man seems to be getting on a schedule which is kind of nice:) We are looking forward to this new season of life as a working family of three. We are trying to make the most of our time together so we dont miss out on anything!

Two Months

Our baby boy is two months old and we are completely smitten with him! We have really seen his personality shine this past month and are so in love:) Caleb is cooing and grinning up a storm! During the day after he eats, he is the happiest boy. He will kick his feet, move his arms all around and talk to us non-stop. He is also following us with his eyes and loves the sunshine and ceiling fans. He is a big fan of the activity mat. He loves to watch the birds spin from the center above him and he hits his arms against the hanging toys (Chris is hoping for a little baseball player or quarterback..ha!). He still loves his bouncer and it has been our saving grace sometimes at night. You love the car and fall asleep everytime we go anywhere! You also like your car seat so much sometimes you will stay sound asleep in your seat hours after we get out of car?!

We are still working on his night time routine. He has been falling asleep between 8-9 pm and sleeping until 12-1 to wake up to eat and then waking up again between 4-5. The colic comes and goes (or were just getting use to it). You'll fall right to sleep for a few days and then we'll have a really rough night where Chris and I are trying everything to calm you down. The refllux is much better with the help of the Prevacid. You've only been on it for three weeks but we can already tell a difference. We're hoping the colic/reflux stage passes soon. Its so hard on us to see you cry with your little tears and all!

Caleb had his two month appointment last Monday and received four shots, three in the leg and one liquid in the mouth. Poor guy took it like a champ! He cried really loud as soon as the nurse poked him but shortly after calmed down. The nurse said that was a sign of a good natured baby:) Our baby weighed 10 pounds 14 ounces (exactly 4 pounds more than his 2 week appoinment) and is 23 inches long.

We are so happy you are a part of our lives! As much as I want to stop time, I can't wait to see what to see what month 3 has in store for us:)
