Wow, 1 month already!

I can't believe it!! We went to Caleb's 1 month appointment today. He has grown 1 inch since birth and is now 22 and a half inches long. He weighs 11 lbs and 8 oz's and checks out great. He has already rolled over from his tummy to his back twice and because of that the Dr. said he would expect an early walker, around 8 months or so. We will see but that could keep me on my toes pretty quick here. :) However, I didn't happen to mention that we let him sleep on his stomach and he rolled over both times because he was so mad we hadn't come to pick him up yet. None the less he still mustard up the strength to roll. :)
It has been so fun getting to know Caleb in this last month. We had a hard first week learning through his in's and outs but now feel like we have a pretty predictable little one! He is very clear on what he wants and he will let you know it! Here are a few bullets on things people have been asking.... (ok minus the one on his bowel movements. :) )
1. He is definitly a thinker and analyzer like his daddy. He has certain looks that he gives that just crack us up, we'd love to know what he is really thinking. I love that at such an early stage we can see little glimpses into their personalities!!
2. He has been sleeping pretty well at night. He gets up every 3 to 4 hours to feed but will go back down pretty easily. However, during the day he will stay up for 5 hours at a time. Everything I have read says he should sleep more than he does during the day, but I figure if he is pretty content he must be ok.
3. He fits right in with his dad and brother and can fart with the best of them already. He is a big time spit up, barf, poop, farter guy.... it cracks me up as I am always changing some article of clothing on someone in our house. Bibs and spit up rags have become new found friends as I never used them with Caeden.
4. As serious as Caleb is most of the time he gives smiles pretty consistently that just melt our hearts.

It has been a joy to watch how differently God has made our two boys, I love how creative our God is!!

Brotherly Love

Caeden is so in love with his brother!! Caeden's love language is touch and so Caleb gets smoothered in love everyday by his brother. Caleb is a big fan of Caeden too. Anytime Caleb is up and hears Caeden, his eyes get real big and he tries to follow his brother's voice. I can't wait for these two to have a chance to wrestle, and talk and hang out as buddies!! I am so grateful God has blessed us with two beautiful boys!!!

We love being a family of 4!

Here we are....officially a family of 4 and loving it!! This pic was on Valentine's Day, we had our first family of 4 outing to Oregano's for dinner. We also ventured the zoo last week with both boys and had a lot of fun!

We did it!

Here we are 16 days after Caleb was born and I took my first adventure out with both boys all by myself. (Don't worry we didn't wear our pajamas, well Caleb did come to think of it) :) Caleb needed to go to the Dr. for a circumcision check up (at 8:15am no less.) and I thought I could tackle this one all by myself. :) I am healing much better this time around which is such a blessing. Anyway, he checked out wonderfully and already weighs 9lbs. 13 ozs. Typically they gain 2/3 an oz a day at his age but our boy has doubled that gaining 12 ozs in the last 7 days. I tell ya, I am feeding non stop around the clock. :) Since the Dr.s office went so smooth I decided to take them to Trader Joes and Walgreens. Caleb was then due for another feed so I let Caeden play at the park while I fed brother. So not only was it our first outing as 3 but we made a morning of it. Yeah mommy and boys!!!
