I can't believe it!

I can't believe Caleb is already 2 months old. He is growing and changing so quickly! I tried weighing and measuring him the other day and I think he is 10 lbs 8 oz and 24 1/2 inches long. He is a tall little boy and already growing to big for some of his 0-3 month shirts. It's so sad. He is sleeping about 7 1/2 hours every night which is great for me! He loves his vibrating chair and gets so excited and sits and laughs and talks to it. Here is a video I took the other day, but of course he wasn't as excited as he was before I started recording. It's like they know we are trying to capture the moment :) (You might want to turn the volume on your computer down or off because I was drawing a bath)

Yesterday I was wrapping presents and had him on the couch changing his diaper and he reached back and grabbed this piece of wrapping paper.

I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas!

Blessing day & Newborn pics

So yesterday we blessed Caleb. It was really nice and my whole family came out and Ben's parents came down. It was such an amazing experience and I am grateful for a husband who was worthy to give our little boy such a special blessing. Here is a picture of him in his little tux. Unfortunately we were running late to church so these were after church and he was pooped.


A girl in our ward is a photographer so we had her take pictures of Caleb. So far there isn't a link, but i am going to see if she can get me one so you can see all of them but for now here are a few of my favorite.










Last but not least here is a picture I got of him smiling.

Almost 6 weeks!

I can barely believe he is almost 6 weeks old. It has been so much fun getting to know our little guy. He smiled for the first time for Ben the other day and has been smiling ever since. I will keep trying to get a picture of it. We are so blessed to have such a great baby. He still sleeps pretty well at night and really only cries when he is hungry. He still hates to be alone and loves being held and talked to. Here are a few pictures of him.

He loves to lay his head on his arms

Caleb

A quick update. He is doing really well! He is almost back to his birthweight and is now 21 inches long. He is breastfeeding really well and almost sleeping through the night. The last 3 nights he has went to bed around midnight and not woken up to eat until between 6 and 7. We'll see how long it lasts :) We are having fun with him! Here are some pictures from the last couple weeks!

He made it!

Caleb made his appearance today. He came in weighing 8 Ibs 7 Oz and was 19 7/8 inches long. He was born at 4:30pm CST. Both Mom and Baby are doing well.

Caleb Is On His Way!!!!

Ok, so I know you all have been dying to see pictures of the nursery and get an update. Here are the pictures of the nursery. We still want to paint an orange and blue stripe at the top, just haven't gotten that done yet and we have ordered a hutch to put on top of the dresser, but it's on back order so hopefully we get it soon ;)





I went to the Dr. today and I am still between a 2 and 3, but with the range of due dates from the 18th-27th and my blood pressure a little high we are going to induce tomorrow! I can barely believe it. I go in at 6am to start the process and he will be here hopefully sometime tomorrow, if not then early Thursday morning. I will post pictures up as soon as I can. Wish me luck!

Fall Is Definitely Here

I love living in a place where there are 4 seasons. The leaves are starting to change colors and it is absolutely beautiful. Not so much fun when they fall and we have to rake them but I enjoy watching them change colors.


This weekend we had 15 people staying at our house. The Florida Gators were playing Arkansas and so Ben's brother came with his wife, her mom, and their 7 kids and his parents came and his sister from Utah. It was quite the packed house. I always thought I wanted a bunch of kids but this weekend may have changed my mind. I was so worn out by the time it was over. At the game it started out raining, but after half time the sun came out and it was much warmer. It was a lot of fun and Florida won which made it for an even more enjoyable weekend.



A couple weeks ago we painted our room and last weekend we got an early Christmas present for ourselves and got a new bedroom set. We needed one before the baby came because we only had one extra bed and we will have both our parents here when Caleb is born so we got it a little early. I love it!



Only 20 days left until baby Caleb is supposed to be here. I went to the Dr. last week and everything looks good. I go to the Dr. later this week and we'll see if i'm progressing at all. Hopefully not much longer. We are finishing his nursery this weekend and I will post pictures.
