Look who's sitting!

For the past few weeks, Caleb has been well on his way to sitting up by himself. Well he has finally done it! He can sit up unsupported all by himself. He is still a bit unsteady but he gets better everyday. It must be really exciting for him as well. He gets to see the world from a whole new perspective and independent way. Right now, Richard is trying to teach Caleb to roll over from belly to back. He still looks like he is trying to swim :)

And what blog about Caleb would be complete without a video? Not this one!

5 months already?

Today my little man is 5 months! I can hardly believe that 5 months ago today I received the greatest gift one could ever ask for.

In other news, we closed on our new house yesterday. Cant wait until everything is finished and we can move in! I will miss our little home, but I am more than ready for more SPACE!!!

We bought a video monitor today, so Caleb can no longer hide from us. I always wondered what he does up there to get into some of the positions I find him in, so now the mystery will be solved. I dont have alot to say, so I will leave you with some 5 month pictures, as well as few of Caleb and Cecelia being adorable together

Ready to roll

Caleb has learned to roll over from his back to his tummy! He wont even stay on his back, but once he gets on his stomach you can tell he wants to roll back but doesnt quite have the hang of it yet. He is also sitting up without help very well now. He is not able to do it for a long time, but he definitely is well on his way.  He will be 5 months in 2 days... so there will be pictures to come. Until then, enjoy the video of my little man rolling over

Spring teaser

Today is so beautiful! We went to the park for the first time. I am pretty sure Caleb loved the swings because he sat in there swinging for a good 10 minutes. At times he looked like he might fall asleep. He is getting to be so big and doing big kid things so quickly. The last two months  have gone by too fast and so much has happened with Caleb. He grabs for absolutely everything now, curious about the world around him.

So far he has eaten rice, oatmeal, applesauce and peas. He seems to like peas pretty well. We finally bought him a highchair, and he loves it. He looks like such a little man in it :)

...and then there were 2

The offer we put on the house was accepted! It is actually a little scary, because now we essentially have two houses.... yikes. We are going to put our house on the market in early spring, and until then we are a 2 home family! The great part of this is that we dont have to move our junk right away, which is my kind of moving. Pictures to come!

Caleb is getting his first tooth. Well actually his first 2 teeth! The two front bottom ones are slowly making an appearance. We have known it was coming, because for about the past month he practically needed a bucket under him to contain all the drool. I cant even imagine how cute my little man will be with 2 little teeth. He doesnt seem to be bothered much by it other than he is constantly wearing a wet shirt because of all the drool!

We find out tomorrow if the offer we made on the house is accepted. I hate waiting. I want to know everything this very instant... I am really looking forward to moving and finally having more space. Between the three of us, a Great Dane and a Dalmeagle, things were getting a bit crowded around here. It will also be nice to have our friends over and be able to offer everyone somewhere to sit! More updates to come.

SURPRISE!

Last night, when I changed Caleb around 3:30 am, I knew I definitely smelled poop. So I change his diaper, in the dark, as usual. I finish without finding any poop in his diaper. I zip him up, but I am still smelling it and starting to wonder where it was coming from. Eh, I thought... He didnt poop (so I was led to believe from the lack of poop in the diaper) so it must be from the diaper genie.... NOPE. When I get over to the chair to feed him, I feel this squishy lump on his back. The poop has apparently rolled right out of the diaper into his sleeper. By this time it was no longer nice and solid, but very squished all over everything. It was a huge mess. There is never a dull moment.. even at 3am
