The Impending Visits of the Michelles...

Good news,...after last week's really fun poopy episodes, Caleb has not lost any of his precious weight. In fact, it appears that he's gotten even taller! And his feet look enormous.

We are eagerly anticipating my bestest friend Michelle to come down next Friday. This will be her first trip to Raleigh, NC and I can't wait!! A week and a half after that, my sister Michelle will also be coming down for a visit for a few days. Both of my Michelles will be here in the same month....I'm so lucky.

Spring Cleaning

Caleb is such a trip. Everyday I look at him I feel blessed for having him. One of my good friends, Heather, is pregnant now and I can't wait until she feels the joy of motherhood. While I don't think that motherhood defines me, I think that Caleb is my purpose.

He's still a little 'runny' from having his 15-month shots last Monday so hopefully this will pass soon. It's been a week and everyday it's gradually been getting better. He's cheerful and it doesn't seem to bother him any but I've had enough with having to spot shamp0o the carpet to last me for awhile.

This past weekend, the house was spring-cleaned...furniture has been rearranged and LOTS of junk has been thrown away. My new resolution is to keep a more sane house. My mood is often reflected onto the cleanliness (er, should I say tidiness) of my house so I'm hoping that a clean house will aid in a sane mind. :)

15th Month Dr.'s Appointment & Growth Spurts

Caleb had his 15-month appointment this morning and we have great news! He's thriving and had hit a growth spurt since his one year appointment! He's now in the 10th percentile for weight and 75th for height!! We're on track and hopefully he'll continue to pack on the weight and keep on growing....he's looking much sturdier now and he's got some chubby cheeks coming out.

He's also got a few words under his belt. "Thank-you" (which is says whenever he gives us stuff becuase we always say it to him)...."Daddy" (which he uses all the time) and "Mama" (which he rarely ever says unless he's upset) and "NoNo"...(which he says to EVERYTHING).

We've Now Got Eight Teeth!

Caleb has been doing sooo much better at this new daycare! He hasn't been sick once since he's been there thanks to few kids to expose their germs and he's been filling out his little chipmunk cheeks.

We've now got 8 teeth! The fourth one on the bottom finally popped out and he just loves to show them off! He's been giggling a lot and just finding so many things amusing. This age is so fun!!

We're eagerly anticipating Auntie Michelle's visit in April. I can't wait to see her and she can't wait to see Caleb.

He's laughing in these pictures because I'm making fake burping noises (after he let one out) and he thought that was hysterical....funny kid.

Day At The Playground

Last weekend, we played on the playground for the first time. Caleb had a ball going down the slide and climbing and crawling through all the tunnels. I think that he had the most fun when he was sifting the playground sand through his fingers.

After this playground visit, he took a LONG nap! lol
