End of May

It has been awhile since my last post. But I am not sorry, because it was not due to laziness or carelessness. Caleb, Josh and I have been with family and rarely home. When home, we've been trying to grab some sleep or grab things needed for the next outing. My grandma Norma passed away May 21st. I was VERY close to her and will miss her terribly. She was 96.5 years old on May 17. On May 20th she was diagnosed with lymphoma. We visited her in the hospital that day and she was able to hold and kiss Caleb one last time. We didn't take a picture that day, but there are many other pictures of Grandma and Caleb together. So glad she got to meet him! In fact, Grandma said so herself on Friday. After giving him a kiss she whispered, "So glad I got to meet him!"

But Caleb has done some serious growing, so here's the update:

*Caleb is strong! He has great control of his head. He is also a champ at tummy time. He's kicking his legs and ready to crawl with the bottom half. Now he just has to get his hands and head to be as coordinated.  
*Caleb is smiling for real! He has smiled at his family! He's got some very long "happy" moments. So fun to see him respond!

The flash makes him dull the smile, but he's got it!

*Caleb is a reader. He studies pictures in the book very intensely. He's so smart!
*He likes his baths now!

*Caleb is growing by feeding! During the day Caleb is pretty consistent at every 2 hours, but he knows when to give me a break. At night we get an average of 3.5 to 4 hours in a row between feedings. Last night it was 5 hours and I was ready to feed him, regardless if he wanted to eat or not:)

Here's to being one month old (plus)!

Caleb is one month!

WE LOVE YOU CALEB! SO GLAD YOU'RE IN OUR FAMILY!
