Merry Christmas!

After being at school for only 3 days, Caleb's what we thought was a cold, was getting worse so we took him to the doctor. It turns out that he has allergies and the doctor put him on some medication and recommended that he didn't go to school. So, he got to stay home on Thursday and Friday before Christmas, although I didn't like him being sick I didn't mind getting a few extra days with him. Thankfully, the medication took effect immediately and he returned to himself right away and we were able to carry on with our Christmas plans, except James got Pink Eye, but we still went. Saturday mid-morning we left for West Texas to spend Christmas with James' parents. Caleb did so much better then I expected on the 5 hour drive, it wasn't until the last hour that he really got fussy... but who doesn't being in the car for that long! Caleb had a wonderful time with his grandpa, grandma and aunts. He got a lot of great gifts including a winnie the pooh that glows in the dark, new nike shoes, and a bunch of new clothes! I think that the pooh is going to become his buddy soon and he'll be taking it everywhere! Santa made a special visit to grandpa and grandma's on Christmas Eve night (grandpa dressed up as Santa). Caleb was unsure of what to think of the man dressed in red with white hair and mustache. Everyone had a lot of fun playing with Caleb. They were all impressed how big he had gotten. Next year our little man will be running all over the place and trying to open all the presents early! We left to go back to Fort Worth and Caleb did such a good job in the car again. So just as we try to get back into the swing of things we have to prepare for Caleb's first airplane ride to Oregon. In just a couple weeks we leave for the Northwest and Caleb's other Grandparents get their chance to spoil him.

2 Months Old!!

Caleb turned 2 months old this week! For his birthday he got to go visit his daycare, he just kept looking at me the whole time as if he was confused what we were doing. There will be 6 other babies in his class, he is the youngest, no one is older then 1. All of the other babies are at least sitting up all on their own and most of them are mobile. I think that it will work out very well although I would like to find some reason why it wouldn't. He will definitely have some adjustment not being in mom's arm 24/7, although I have been told it'll be harder for me then for him. I have completely loved my last 2 months being at home with him every day, getting to see every little new thing he has developed. I have already told him that his first time sitting up and crawling must be done at home. I will definitely miss the time that I have been able to spend with him and James, they were times that I will treasure forever.

So, before I get too emotional here's some things that Caleb has been doing lately. He has discovered his right arm and can move it where he wants to, so he'll just move his to in front of his eye and stare at it moving forever. It's so cute! He can also move his arms to his month on his own and will suck on his hand, again oh so cute! He is holding up his head all the time now. The other day he was laying on his tummy on the floor and held up his head for a long time, I was able to run and get the camera to take a video but then he got tired just as I started it. He loves to talk and will just talk and talk even if he's by himself. He has learned who mommy and daddy are and his face just lights up when James gets home for work, he knows it's playtime. I love this picture of James reading to Caleb even though Caleb's eyes look like he is crazy.
