Little Caleb




We had our two week check up this week and let me tell you this boy is growing. I didn't need a scale to tell me that. Holding him has been giving my arms a little work out. He is a hungry boy! At his one week check up he didn't lose any weight like babies normally do. Instead he gained an ounce. At two weeks he weighs in at 10 lbs 3oz! Dave kindly pointed out to me that he weighs more than a 10 lb sack of potatoes. In two weeks he has gone from 8lbs 13oz to 10 lbs 3oz! And he has grown an inch. Everyone thinks he looks like a chubster. But it really is all in his face. His thighs are beginning to catch up though...





Love this sleep position. He looks just like Daddy when he sleeps like this.

Tummy time turned into sleepy time. Usually tummy time consists of Caleb scooting his way across the mat in every effort to get off while wailing. When Dave puts his hand against Caleb's feet little Caleb pushes so hard he practically flies off the mat. I thought Dave was pushing Caleb with his hand himself, but no. It was all Caleb. He rolled over too, but I think that is because he was on his arm so he had a little bit of help.













We are going to have to save this for when Caleb gets a little bigger. He doesn't quite fit.














He is a very messy eater, so I decided to put on the bib. It works wonders! Orange for Daddy.













We love our sleepy boy.

Walking with Mommy




Caleb did so good on his first walk alone with Mommy. On our first walk with him, he wasn't a big fan and screamed the whole time. Mommy decided to attempt it again and he slept the whole entire time! We went on a very long walk and enjoyed the sunshine.

Like Mother Like Son


Just like when his mommy was little, he puts his hand to his ear when he was sleeping. After a long day it is always rewarding to see the little positions and movements Caleb makes. 1 week old already.
I have been trying out his monitor this afternoon. Seems to be working pretty good. After finally getting him to sleep in his bassinet, I was able to have a nice relaxing dinner with Kimmy. Although I waited for about 25 minutes next to his side before I started trusting the monitor!
