Baptism Weekend















Caleb had an exciting weekend meeting Grandma Linda and Grandpa G for the very first time!

















Getting Baptized. We were expecting some cries when the holy water went on him since Caleb has cried through every single bath so far, but he just smiled as Father Dan poured the water over him. It was the sweetest thing, he didn't take his eyes off his Daddy.















Hanging out at his Baptism Party


Great Auntie Jo and Great Uncle Neil

















The Giles boys














He loved looking at his Grandma Linda! He just kept smiling every time she was near.
















Aunt Katie, Caleb and Daddy















He doesn't know it yet but he's a Beaver fan.

Caleb's cuddle toys

Caleb is such a cuddle bug. He just loves to be held all the time and loves his sling. As soon as we put him in it he is cooing away! So we thought he might enjoy some friends to cuddle with. Thanks Evie and Rose Marie for my cuddle friends!

Caleb and Poppy


For Grandpa G




The Fencer's Pose








Guess Mommy didn't do the best swaddle job because Caleb seemed to find a way out of it...

1 month




And weighing in at 13lb 4 oz...99th percentile for weight
a length of 22.5 in...90th percentile for length
And already wearing 3month baby clothes
It seems Caleb's fat storage is mainly in his chin...you'll notice a double chin...very hard to get milk leakage out of the crevices of his folds, kind of like digging for gold under that chin of his!
Caleb, we love watching you grow. You are getting so big every single day, sometimes it feels as if you are literally growing heavier in Mommy's arms. You love staring at the quilt your grandma giles made for you, your poo wall hangings, the plates hanging in the kitchen, Timothy turtle, your music toy, and of course, Mommy and Daddy! You are staying awake and alert for much longer now. You love coo-ing, grunting, and sighing almost as much as we love listening to you coo, grunt, and sigh. We love you oh so much!

First Smile

Caleb gave Mommy and Daddy his very first smile! What a magical moment. Mommy was chatting it up with Caleb and looking at Caleb and he was looking at Mommy and next thing I know a smile is spreading on Caleb's face and it just kept getting bigger, I could not believe it was real but his smile just kept getting bigger and spreading across his whole face as he looked at me. Tears to my eyes! Daddy got his the next day while he was holding a coo-ing Caleb. The coo-ing and smiling has begun and we are just so excited!

Night time party time.

Caleb loves his timothy turtle. We were trying to put him to bed with the lights off when he began to get fussy. Dave claimed Caleb was scared of the dark. I didn't believe him so I turned the lights on to prove him wrong and what do you know. Caleb totally stopped crying and was just wide eyed and awake staring at things! So I brought in his favorite toy that he enjoys staring at, timothy the turtle. The things we find entertaining have changed a little bit these days!!

and then we brought in his other toy. dave hasn't named this one yet.
