I'm back
I'm back. Back from sickness that blew me over for a week or so. By the end I was convinced my body just wanted to hit each and every cold or flu symptom before it recovered. I guess the worst of it was having a fever. I can't remember the last time I had one, it kept me in bed full time. Bob worked from home and took care of Caleb. I'm so thankful for him. I really missed Caleb while I was sick. Its good to be able to take care of him again!
I started growing some herb seeds indoors a couple of weeks ago and am pretty pumped about them. I tend to get on my little kicks now and then and I guess this is one of them. Hopefully they will grow into beautiful plants that I can put on my porch. A garden in pots I think will be a little more manageable for me, so I'll leave the big gardening in the back to Bob. I've planted italian parsely, rosemary (still no sprouts, I've heard its hard to grow from seed), cucumber, lavendar, cilantro, green dwarf basil, purple basil, thyme, sage, chamomile and dill. Bob took these pictures for me. The tallest ones are the cucumbers (notice the cool saturn through the window Lynn, Andy, and Katie). The roots are going crazy underneath so I need to plant them into bigger containers this weekend. What fun! I can't wait till spring. Oh yeah, its practically spring in our front yard because our cherry tree is in full bloom and our daffodils are blooming too!

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.
