Caleb's First Easter

Today is Caleb's first Easter. I was so excited. I picked up the cutest Easter basket I could find. Filled it with tub toys, a stuffed rabbit and a few pieces of candy that Jon and I happily ate and are still eating. I got him an oh-so-cute little duck, but the one thing I didn't get was a new Easter outfit. Mostly because he has so much clothes already. I didn't to buy another outfit that he will wear once or twice and outgrow. I did have a pair of ears to put on him for the picture, but Jon objected to it, so no ears! I am sure Caleb will thank him later for that one! haha

Our Easter weekend was nothing to really write about except that it is his first. Jon had to work all weekend, so no big dinners or family outings. Memaw and Pawpaw came by for a short while yesterday, but it was just a short visit. Today, we gave him his Easter basket and took a couple of pictures of us with him in front of our only tree blooming at the moment. Our yard is bland to say the least. Anyway, a few pictures and Jon rushed off to work and I rushed off to church.

Church was really good. In some ways I am happy that we didn't do too much. It allowed me to focus on the real reason for Easter. I have to say that I was truly excited about worship today. Excited that we serve a risen king. A Lord that is alive and eager to love us and work in our lives. We are so blessed. He overwhelms me!

The weather is horrible at the moment. A terrible storm is on the way. I am getting nervous about being on this computer. This is it for now. Hope everyone had a great Easter!!!

Caleb at two months

I just love watching Caleb grow and learn new things. Just recently, he has found his hands. He sucks on them every now and then. It is very cute to watch. Especially since his movements are still a bit jerky. It takes him a while to find his hand once he has moved it.

Now, if I can just get the boy to nap more than an hour at a time. He wakes up and refuses to go down again. We go round and round trying to extend the nap,but I am afraid I have not been very successful. This confuses me because up until recently he was a good napper. What happened to my little boy? I do not know.

I do know that he is very alert and is getting stronger by the day. I bought him the kick and play paino. He loves that. His feet never stop. He likes to be held on your shoulder. Until recently, he would have none of that. I am thankful for it. I like holding him on my shoulder.

Memaw can't get enough of him. She came to visit the other day and while I ran an errand, this is what she did. Caleb took his entire nap on her shoulder. I think she may have spoiled him. They both look very content. haha.

Tricia, do you remember this little vest? It will probably be the only time he wears it.

Take me fishing Pawpaw!
