Monday Madness
Whew! It's been a while without a post...life has just been crazy! Recently, I was having a hard time catching a deep breath and had a lot of chest tightness so I sucked it up and when in to see the doctor. As it turns out, they are pretty certain I have asthma. Apparently, that goes hand in hand with eczema & allergies...and I've had eczema my entire life. When I got pregnant with Caleb my eczema disappeared...and now I've got asthma! It's crazy how much a pregnancy can change you. Anyways, he put me on Singulair & gave me a rescue inhaler. A week later I went back to the doctor with my symptoms almost completely gone (yay!). He had me do a pulmonary function test which came back "puzzling" but he said because the Singulair is working to remain on it and return in 6 months to 1 year for a repeat.
Caleb is doing amazingly well. He never ceases to amaze us and having him truly makes each day feel so special! He is crawling and he is pulling himself up. He now walks along the couch and just thinks it's the funniest thing in the whole world. Very soon, as soon as he can pull himself up very sturdy and I think it'll be safe enough we'll be getting him the push walking toy. YIKES! Already. Seems like it's way too soon. Afterall, just yesterday he wouldn't squirm away when I tried to change his butt!
So we've had this ongoing rash with Caleb. One of the providers in my office and his ped. have both looked at it and prescriped medication or over the counter concoctions. The OTC method had it just about completely cleared up when we stopped using it every diaper change and BAM it's back again. So we took his Pamper's back last night (had an upopened box) and exchanged it for Huggies. Ahhh, beautiful. It's almost completely cleared this morning. Funny how he's been fine since birth and now suddenly develops this rash. But my OCD led me to Google and I find it's fairly common with the Pampers. Anyways, he's now a Huggies boy.
Halloween Costume: DINOSAUR! So cute! I don't have a picture of it on my work computer but I can assure you my little monster makes the cutest little dinosaur. :)
Saturday we went to the Pumpkin Patch! It was so much fun...even Caleb really enjoyed himself! I took a ton of pictures of him and then we picked out a "perfect" pumpkin! Tanner has some strict criteria but eventually we found one that met his standards. :)
Saturday evening we went to Tanner's sisters house for a BBQ, UFC fight night and some scrapbooking. I got a few things done but I'm by no means caught up so I really need to get on that so I don't get behind with the holiday's coming!!
Speaking of holidays...I already have TWO presents purchased (not including what we've gotten for CDub)! And while to some, that may not seem like quite a feat...for me it is. I never, ever purchase anything prior to Black Friday and this year I am already on top of things! WooHoo.
Well, that's mostly everything that I can think of worth posting!

At 6 Months I can...
Here's a list of some of the things I can at 6 months, 2 days...
*I can sit myself up like a pro!
*I can roll, scoot & wiggle around until I get just what I want without crawling.
*I am getting really close to pulling myself to standing and I have so much fun trying!
*I can reach for people I want and turn away from people I don't want.
*I can grab your face and smother you in my drooly kiss!
*I can indiscriminately say mama, dada, baba and my favorite "word" is GEEEE!
And those are just a few of my accomplishments! :)
Love,
Caleb
My big boy car seat! Thanks to mommy's friend Adrian we got the Britax Marathan carseat manufactured for MUCH cheaper under the Fisher Price label! Plus, they had it in this cool red color that daddy loves!

SIX Months!
My monster is SIX months (and a day)! Yesterday was his 6mo WCE. He is 17.5 lbs (approx 35th percentile for boys his age) and 28.25 inc (approx 95th percentile for boys his age). He was deemed a happy, well adjusted, long skinny boy who is well ahead in his motor skills. He is free to eat from every food group (excluding milk of course) and is doing great! He got stabbed four times and cried for a brief second but forgot about it once Daddy scooped him up. He doesn't go back until 9 months! Caleb will back later to post about all his can-do's! :)
