***MOVING***

This is also just a quick note that if I don't post in the next few days or maybe week, we are moving to our new apartment in Katy (for those of you who are not familiar with Texas, it is west of Houston about 30 minutes out)! We are very excited for our new place...we even get a garage...1 car, but it's a step up in our little family!!! We'll post soon!!

Look what I can do!!


Play time on the tummy...

Veering off to the right...

Rolling onto his right side!!

Getting mad at mom for taking too many pictures!!

This just goes to show how quickly this little guy is growing up!! It is the cutest thing to watch when he is on his tummy although he doesn't like to stay there very long unless he's laying on someone to sleep!! Take a look at that hairline!! Adam and I were laughing at that!! There isn't much hair but a very distinct hairline!!!

Things we LOVE about Caleb...



Binky Face!! I know when Caleb is really getting into sucking his binky when he takes it out and has Binky Face (those red lines by his mouth in the outline of a binky!)...it makes me laugh every time I see it!! I just hope that it doesn't feel bad to him!!!


Just loungin around...Caleb has done really good at not having to be held all of the time...the only time that he likes to be snuggled is when he's taking his naps!! I'm trying to work harder at putting him in his bed for naptime, but it always seems that he naps better when he's laying with me!! We're working on this one!!!

Smiles for Dad...Caleb is looking up at his dad in this picture and this is the normal reaction!! He loves his daddy and loves to look at him when he's home!! He'll follow him all over the room and likes to sit and snuggle at the end of the day!!


Tummy Time!! Caleb is loving to move and shake and he's doing a lot better with pushing himself up and "swimming" when he's on his tummy!! It always looks like he's balancing on his belly!! This is vertical tummy time with his dad!!! We are so thankful for our little boy and just love him to pieces...do you think he's spoiled much?!?

Our Sweet Boy!


I was finally successful in getting some pictures of Caleb smiling!! He does smile all of the time, but he FINALLY let me take some pictures!! He kind of has a little dimple on his right cheek!



Last night Ad was holding Caleb and he started to get a little fussy...the next thing I knew, everything was quiet and I heard Adam and Caleb talking to each other! I walked over and this is what I saw! I guess this was Dad's special way of calming Caleb down...we all have our little tricks and this is the newest one!! It was so funny to see and hear! Good Job Dad!!

This is our morning routine...after Caleb eats in the morning, he gets to watch Seasame Street!! He just sits and talks to the TV...especially when Elmo is on!! It's nice because he'll sit through the whole show and let mom get ready and do a few things around the house!!

Adam's 1st Father's Day!




For Father's Day, Caleb got his dad Guitar Hero for his XBox. Now we know that Caleb isn't able to play this game yet, but he sure enjoys watching his dad raise the goblet of rock!! He would't eat yesterday because he was too busy watching his daddy!! It was sooo cute and I just know that Caleb loves his daddy or is it the other way around!! Adam loves to show off his boy...especially to all of his fellow Chemistry friends at Rice! Caleb also got to go and see his dad at work and his dad got to introduce him to a lot of people!! Caleb has a hard time leaving his mom or dad and so as he was meeting new people, he got a little fussy and gave us his sad lip a lot!! I thought separation anxiety starts when they get a little older!!


This is me trying to catch a smile again...I swear he does this on purpose when I get the camera out!! Still a cutie though...we have been taking him on walks down to the pool and sticking his toes into the water...he wasn't sure about it at first, but once he gets used to it, he'll kick and kick!! I'm going to start taking him swimming when we get to our new place...it's going to be fun!!!

Morning and Night



This morning as I was getting Caleb ready to get dressed I thought he just looked so cute in his towel...then as I was taking pictures, he decided that he needed to pee!! Good thing that the towel was closed, and he was lying on the bed...it was safe!! I don't think I'll ever take my time getting that diaper on after a bath!! I've learned my lesson!




Before we even knew that we were pregnant...actually even before we moved to Houston, Ad and I went to Yellowstone with Adam's family...now I don't know if it was because Barb had heard me say that I love those pj's a million times, but Ad's parents bought us these pj's for our future kiddo. My dream is to someday have all of my kiddos in these pj's for some fun family pics...they also have little rubber boots to match!! But for now, Caleb has finally grown into this pair and boy is he a cutie!! He wasn't really in the mood for a photo shoot, but he still looks cute even when he is not happy...it's a face only a mother could love!! Maybe a grandma too!!

Three months today and still growing!!



A teacher friend of mine from Pocatello knitted this beanie for Caleb...even though it probably won't get that cold outside to wear one, it can get pretty chilly inside!! Thanks goodness for air conditioning!

Everyone keeps telling me that Caleb looks a lot like his dad...I still don't see it!! HA HA HA



Everytime I try to pull out the camera to catch a smile...this is the look I get!! Believe me, he does smile!!

Caleb's new thing...instead of the binky, he likes his hands now! It's the noisiest sound I've ever heard...especially in the middle of the night!!

Fun new toys!!







Caleb and i went to Target today to get a few things and I decided to get him a bouncy chair! He went right to town as soon as I put him in and started playing with the toys! It was so funny...i tried to record off of my camera and don't know if it's going to work on the blog...if not, here are some pics!! I can't believe how big he has gotten! He is now 12 weeks old and growing like a week...he has certainly filled out into our little chubby bunny!! Such a cutie!! ENJOY!!

Mama's Main Man!






Oh what a couple of weeks it has been!! I am finally done with school and Caleb and I get to hang out for the whole summer! Of course i'll do better at posting on the blog now, because i won't be as busy!! I'm excited to just be mom for the summer! We took Caleb to get 3 month pictures on Saturday and boy did they turn out cute! Of course afterwards, Caleb decided that he needed to go poo and also decided that it needed to go all over the place!! Whitney I know how you feel, but I had an extra outfit!! We were in the JC Penny bathroom for about 30 minutes trying to get him cleaned up! He got his cute little picture outfit pretty messy so we had to wash it out in the sink and ask the janitor for a plastic bag to put it in. My mom got everything out at home!! WOW! It was quite the experience!! I also had poo all over me too...but I felt worse for Caleb. He was pretty mad!! He also came to school on Friday to meet my class. The kiddos went CRAZY, but it was fun for them to meet the little guy who had been in my tummy for most of the year!! Anyway, I will make sure that I post a lot more pics...as i was taking these today, Caleb looked at me like oh no, not this again!! I'll try to get some smiles next time!!!
