All About Caleb

Caleb is growing like a weed. I am constantly packing away clothes that are already too small. Yesterday, I actually put him in a 3-6 month outfit. He will be five weeks tomorrow! At this rate he will go through all the clothes I have bought him before the middle of summer. He hasn't even worn some of the outfits that are now packed away. It saddens me a little.

He is learning to smile in repsonse to our smiles. That is his latest skill. It is so much fun! And no it is not gas. I made sure of that. Although, he does fart a lot!!!! He actually loves to play while laying on his changing table. He kicks and screams while he is being changed, but when we are finished, he has a ball. When he is having a fussy period, I bring him to the changing table and he starts cooing and waving his arms, having a grand ol' time. I have yet figure out what is so nice about it, but I am all for whatever works!

I like to sing to him. We sing "If You Are Happy And You Know It". I think he really enjoys it. Of course, I do all the motions in a very dramatic way. Who wouldn't love looking at a crazy woman going on and on. Haha. I love it and will continue to do it until my sweet boy is old enough to know mommy can't sing at all!!! Eventually, I am sure he ask my not to, just as my little newphews have done in the past. For now, we sing. I also sing the old favorite "Jesus Loves Me" when it is time to put him to sleep. However, I am not sure about the second verse, so it changes daily. Haha. I guess I should figure that out before too long. Jon wants to teach him songs too, but they are not so innocent. He laughs and says that we will have the only two year old that sings "Jesus Loves Me" and "Free Bird". We will see about that!

He likes his baths. I was afraid he would hate it, but he seems to enjoy them well enough. He gets a bath every couple of days or so. Yesterday, He had a bath and all was going great until I started to take him out. I heard this blast of a fart and then I saw what had shot out with it. He continued to poop right there. I hurriedly put him on the first thing I could and waited for him to finish. He didn't exactly like being held over the tub for a second washing, but I have to say I was quick about it. We were both fine and one swaddler was quickly put in the wash for cleaning.

At one month, he can't do a whole lot. It doesn't matter. I could sit and watch his hair grow! He is just that adorable to me. By the way, I think he may end up with my curly hair. It is already wanting to curl. It flattens out to some extent when it is dried, but not completely. It kind of lays flat and sticks up at the ends! I don't know when his hair is supposed to fall out and change, but we will see what becomes of it as he grows.

On an entirely different note, I have not figured out how to correct my blogs. So, the one or two of you reading it, just ignore all the mistakes. Spelling is a weakness. My typing is worse. Technology trumps them both when it comes to weaknesses. I put off doing a blog for these reasons, but Tricia and Victoria won the battle in the end. You can thank them! Haha.
