In the last week Kaleb has changed so much! He is becoming much more active! So active, in fact, that he is officially not allowed to sleep in the bassinet anymore, as he has started to untie the bows holding the cover on. Since I'd prefer he not strangle himself... it's the crib from now on! He is following us with his eyes now, and stays awake a lot more often during the day. He's also getting much more playful... at least as playful as you can expect a 1 month old to be. Also... good news... his umbilical cord finally fell off today! I'm so glad I can finally give him a good bath. It has not been easy to bathe him without getting that cord wet!
In sad news, he is also getting awfully close to outgrowing his newborn clothes :( and weighs 8 lbs. 14 oz. as of today! I went through his clothes yesterday and pulled out the 0-3 month clothes so I'd have them ready! I forgot how cute they are... such a well dressed little man thanks to all the gifts and hand me downs! We have certainly been very blessed with help from all of our friends and family! THANK YOU!!!
Monday Grandma kept him for a few hours... preparing for the time coming WAY too soon when I go back to work. I can already tell he is going to be one spoiled little man... I think she rocked him the whole time! She spoiled me when I was little though, so I guess he deserves that too!
Less than 2 weeks now until I go back to work, and I'm a little depressed about it! I'm awful spoiled staying home... still waiting on Ed McMann, but alas, no luck as of yet!
I hear a baby crying for his dinner...

I can't believe it has been a month either...then again I cannot imagine not having little Kaleb in our lives. You and Scott are such good parents....and tolerant of the grandparents too. Enjoy every moment. I can't believe it was 28 years ago that you were born. I look at Kaleb and it takes me back as if it were yesterday. May he give you as much joy and happiness in your life that you and Rebekah have given to your dad and I. Love you more than you will ever know! (well maybe you can imagine it a little better now!)

First, I just want you to know that I tried not to read Mommie Tommie's post, but I couldn't help it & it made me teary...that stinker! ;o)
ReplyDeleteUmm...I think your luck of Ed McMahon coming are ZERO, since he's dead, & if he does come for a visit I can tell you right now it's probably not going to be to give you a check for 1 million dollars!
On a happier note...I'm very excited about the picture you took of me holding Kaleb. Hopefully I'll remember to bring my camera inside next time I visit so that I can get more pictures of him! I don't know when I'll be home next, but I already can't wait!
Even though I've never been out on maternatiy leave, I know it's going to stink, with a capital "S", when you go back to work. Hang in there, Christmas break will be here before you know it!
Oh yeah, I also can't wait to see that cute little fella in his Halloween costume. He's going to make the CUTEST red hot chilli pepper EVER!!
