Caleb update
Caleb will be 6 months old tomorrow! We went to his appointment this morning and he weighs 17 lbs 7 oz, and he's 28 inches tall. For weight he's in the 50th percentile, and for height he's in the 90-95th percentile. I thought he had to be close to 18 pounds because man is he getting heavy to carry around. He didn't get a nap before we went so he was super tired. He hardly ever will fall asleep in my arms when we are out but he did at the doctors. He wasn't asleep more than 5 minutes when the nurse came in to give him his shots. Poor baby, man did he scream! I'm so thankful for another good health update from the doctor, we are so thankful for our healthy little boy.
We switched to the next size car seat this past weekend because I just couldn't keep up with carrying him in the infant seat. In some ways its easier running into places because I can just carry him and not worry about that huge seat. Caleb is now rolling over both directions and almost able to sit on his own. I think he's figuring out that he can roll to get places, which is so fun. He loves his jumper and has a great time just playing with his toys. He's also gotten up on his knees a couple of times, so crawling could be just around the corner. He has his two bottom teeth, and they look so cute. I think Katie has figured out that being near Caleb equals pain! He always grabs a fist full of her hair and pulls hard, she squeaks and looks at me like, help!! So they are still friends but Katie keeps her distance more these days. We're having fun with him and can't believe he's half a year old already! Wow. This picture is of a sweater and hat my Aunt Betty Jean knit for Caleb, isn't it cute? There is a bit of a glare but if you look closely you can see his two little teeth. Check out Bob's blog for some other cute pictures of him.

I am so sad that we go to different services at church and don't get to see each other that much. Caleb has become so big and so handsome! Looks like he is a joy.
Aren't they amazing? ... sigh

I can't believe he is 6 months already! He is so precious. I'm so sad that I haven't had a chance to meet him yet. Rich and I defintely need to start planning a trip down to visit. He is so precious Shelz!

I love the hat and sweater! He's just not gonna stop being precious, is he?
Gideon rolled for months before he finally crawled. He also did a ground-swim. Fun.

They grow up so quickly, don't they? Jaron is now 22lbs. 13oz and is 27 inches. So Caleb has him beat in height (surprise, surprise)! Before long, he will catch him in weight too! No teeth yet, which is fine with me since I am still breastfeeding. We will have to set up another play date soon!
