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.

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.

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.
