Surprise, Surprise

So, I was changing Caleb this morning and he had a big smile and I thought there was a white fuzzy in his month. Not the case. Caleb started to getting teeth about a month ago. He has one tooth on the bottom-middle and the other bottom-middle tooth on its way. So back to the "white fuzzy"........surprise , surprise it is his top lateral incisors, the teeth next to the middle teeth. One has already broken through and the other one is on its way. Poor little guy is is getting three teeth right now. Caleb is going to have a really cute smile for now until his top middle teeth come in. I hope this is normal...but was is normal when it comes to babies?!?

So Big

So we have had some successes in our house in the last week, more signs that Caleb is getting older. We have been working on eating solid food now for almost 4 weeks and two nights ago I think we had a break through. Last night Caleb ate a whole bowl of cereal with banana's. That seems to be his favorite combination and he will open his month without a bunch of tricks (singing, and make faces). We also bought a highchair, before we were using the Bumbo with a tray on it. The highchair works so much better!

Trying some sweet potatoes


Can you see my tooth?

Caleb rode in the stroller like a big boy for the first time, he loved it! He was really quiet just soaking in all the new sights. I also bought him a little hat to keep the sun out of his eyes and he thinks it is fabulous. When you put the hat on him in side he just sit there and laughs and laughs. I think it is like peek-a-boo because he can only see us when he moves is head up. It is so cute.


The other really fun thing Caleb is doing is he gets a lot of spit on his lips and says MMMAAA, MMMAAA, and blows these big spit bubbles.

Six Month Check up

Caleb went for is 6 month check up today and is is growing like a weed. Caleb weighed in at 16 lbs 14 oz which put him in the 45%, head circumference was 44cm which was in the 55% and height was 27 inches which is in the 75%...............So it looks like our little man is following in Mark's footsteps.

Caleb is meeting all if the milestones of rolling, sitting up by himself, responding to sounds and following us around the room. Caleb is quite the busy body, he rolled himself over to the TV area where the Wii is and was do some work on it and the games. He is starting to rock back and forth while sitting so I believe crawling is just around the corner..........our lives will change dramatically. We started rice cereal almost 2 weeks ago and he still is not liking it to well but we keep working on it, soon I'll start some fruits and veggies. I bought this really neat steamer/food grinder all in one so I can make our own baby food.

What a joy that little boy is to have in our home.

Playing ball with my dog. Chewbacca really likes Caleb.



I left Caleb playing on the floor while I jumped in the shower and this is how I found him when I got out. What a little cutie!
