Grasping new things

Caleb is becoming more aware of the world around him and expressing that awareness through grabbing any and everything in his reach. He seems to love hair, especially.

Quilt

I finally finished Caleb's quilt...those of you who knew my Grandma Elizabeth know that she must have been whispering inspiration to me as it much resembles many of her projects. In fact, it was in her memory that I made it. For my fifth birthday (or there about), I was given a quilt that my grandma had made mostly when she was a little girl and my aunt finished later. I still remember laying on my bed, trying to choose which square was my favorite and thinking about how incredible it was that she had made it.

Photo Shoot

Once again, our friend Jason took some wonderful photos...

Thanks

We have much to be thankful for this year...Two of us have become three of us, and much more a family. We have a new house which we are finally starting to feel settled into. And we have amazing friends and family who have made all of this possible...and there's the fact that I (Erin) was able to eat Thanksgiving dinner this year with out throwing up right afterwards.

Just for laughs

Solid Food

Caleb went in for his four month check up and got a clean bill of health.

17lbs 7 3/4 heavy
26 3/4" long

Because our little boy is not so little, the Doc recommended starting solid foods. And since Grandma Lila was in town one more night, we had to make sure she shared this first with us. A mess ensued, but, man, we had fun!

Supervised Tummy Time!

Caleb is getting very strong and is quite capable of holding his head up high (which is a feat when you have a melon the size of his).
