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.

Caleb's First Halloween







We took Caleb to the pumpkin patch for his first pumpkin picking experience, even though Caleb slept through the whole thing, we enjoyed it! We got to pick out pumpkins right from the field, which I have never done before. Pretty exciting for me. Dave was the master carver and we even went exploring around the neighborhood to take in all the cutie trick or treaters and the intense set-up of Halloween Decor on a local neighborhood street. Every house was in full Halloween get-up. Everyone sits out on their porch in costume gear and every house is covered, and I mean covered in cobwebs, pirates, weird dead things, and even more. I've never seen anything like it. The entire street closes down. It is pretty crazy! No words to describe, but a fun experience Caleb has to look forward to.

Hanging out











our little chubster

Foutain Party at the Changing Table

As I was enjoying my lunch and Dave was changing Caleb I suddenly heard frantic cries for help. Caleb was giving Daddy a nice surprise. He had spit spewing out of his mouth and pee squirting out and poor Daddy couldn't find the wash cloth in time. Caleb was happy though. He was just chill'n on the changing table happy as can be.















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.
