4 months

Life kinda comes quick, so here is my quick update....




- Caleb is 4 months today... he is so sweet. Full of personality and huge!! He is already in 6 month clothes. I think I only had him in 3-6m clothing for 2 weeks... he is well over 15 lb (next week I go to his peds appointment) so we will see...


He has rolled over plenty times (I seldom give him tummy time, I hardly ever put him on the floor, so this is a miracle :) He might be my late crawler... YAY for a mommy who knows how valuable a non-mobile infant can be!! I'm not doing this on purpose, just not finding the time to sit and watch that his sisters don't plow him over when on the floor... Hannah can be brutal! And He kinda hates it anyway...


He still nurses every 2 - 3 hours (for 5 min) and smiles huge after as if to say "thanks mom" it just melts my heart... He wakes up once during the night (a new thing) nurses for a couple minutes and then back to sleep for another 4/5 hours... I really don't mind waking up. His hands are in his mouth always, maybe a tooth - maybe not? I really don't mind if his first one comes in after 1 year (grin)!

He has out grown the bassinet, but we still haven't put up the crib, so he still curls up in the bed next to me... I personally think the time has come to send him to his own room but... that's another story...


He LOVES Abby and Hannah, follows them with his eyes everywhere, smiles when he sees them in the morning and keeps smiling even when there is no audience - giggles from the pit of his stomach whenever he wants - just loves his daddy, gets all serious when Dave plays with him as if he is still working Dave out... His expressions reflect his every thought. He grins while sleeping (probably dreaming of me) and hardly cries... no lie, I think I just might have the easiest child ever...


oh, he loves to sleep on my left shoulder... that I could do without (my poor, sore back at night) but he is a snuggler and I just can't transition him without him waking... I know I got myself into a rut, but he is cute and I can't resist rocking and hugging until he is sweetly sighing in my ear... long may this last...

PS. The picture is of Caleb months ago... thanks to Anna C. for taking a bunch of them (she is great at it). I haven't down loaded pics for a long time cause we have a virus thing and don't want any pics saved to the computer (they will be eaten) so there he is... so young :)
