Growing Up!

I'm so not ready for my little man to be growing up just as quickly as he is. Next week he will officially be three months and tonight is his first night in his "big boy bed" aka his crib. *sniffle* I'm nervous as all heck, but really it's not any different then him sleeping in his cradle. Except then he was right next time bed. I could extend my arm and slip it through the bars and touch him. I could reach out and rock my baby to sleep. :( I don't think anyone could ever understand just how quickly they grow until you watch your own and everyday they become a little less yours and a little more their own. Caleb is also just mere days (or so I'm guessing) away from rolling from back to belly. Tonight he was trying so hard and with a little more "umph" he would have gotten his left leg over and been on his belly. He is also getting very good at holding his head up once he is on his belly but isn't making much of an attempt to flip back over to his back. But he is doing wonderful at holding his head up and steady...and even loves his bumbo for a few minutes at a time! And he has finally discovered how amazing hands can be...he has discovered how to grab his rattle! :) It's funny how the littlest things become the most amazing to you!

Here are a few pictures of the little man!

The weekend is preparing to come to a close and I am not nearly ready for it to end. Weekends are meant to relax, recoup and regroup for the upcoming week. I feel as if I didn't get any of that this weekend & quite frankly...that sucks! Tomorrow is Monday and a whole new week of drama at work. I detest drama and yet I always seem to somehow get involved by trying to not be involved! Ironic, is it not? This is why I am a firm believer that females suck and I tend to not have many girlfriends. I don't want to be involved in any of it and none of it has anything to do with me anyways!! Anyways, before this spirals into all sorts of things that should not be said I will move on.

Hum, for the first time in a long time I have a moment to write and I find that I don't have much to say. That'd be my luck, would it not?

The Passage of Time

My baby boy is already two months old. Every single day I look at him in utter amazement of how he is growing and changing. He is the most wonderful thing I've ever (and will ever) done with my life. At his two month appointment he weighed a whopping 13lbs1oz and was 24.5 inches long. He received five shots (3 pokes, they can combine 3 of them) and screamed while they did it...my poor baby. He was fine until they actually poked him. He was fussy later that evening and ran a slight fever. Other than though he was fine. I love seeing how he is responding to our smiles and our laughs too. If I lean over and smile at him he just smiles back and coos at me. It's so great!!!

As some of you may know, our little monster had terrible gas. Seriously, he would fart and it would smell like a man...and he would get so backed up he would scream. We would give him Mylicon drops and that would calm him down almost instantly but I hated having to give him those. They are not absorbed into the system which is awesome but still...I just didn't like it. So, I was speaking to a friend about the formula she gives her daughter and decided to make the switch myself. Seriously...the past few days he's been on it he has had almost zero gas (just a few farts) and has been the happiest baby in the world. He wasn't very fussy to begin with unless his tummy got really hard but now he only fusses when he is fighting sleep or "starving"! So THANK YOU, NIKKI! I know you didn't try and get me to change but I did thanks to you so Caleb and I are grateful. :)

So did anyone out there know that some babies have one pupil that dilates larger than the other and it's just completely normal? Well, I did not. So our little man was into the pediaric eye doctor yesterday morning to get that checked out. Thankfully, he is just fine!!! <3>

We went looking at houses this past weekend and Tanner & I found one we just love. The rep said he would be there for at least the next 18 months selling those specific models so we are hoping to purchase one within that time frame! There's so much going on in the next two years that there doesn't seem like there's enough money for everything but a house is on the priority list so I hope we get there!!

Well, I have a ton of work sitting on my desk...yuk!
