Daddy's precious boy!!

This is one of my favorite pictures!! Shaun and I LOVE this baby so much, and truly feel so blessed to have this angel in our lives. I thank Heavenly Father every day for allowing us the opportunity to have this special gift. I feel overwhelmed with gratitude every time I look into his beautiful blue eyes. He is such a sweet, calm, and content baby. He never cries unless he is hungry, and even then it is usually only a small whimper. He is a miraculous boy, and continues to amaze us with his ongoing progression.

YUCK!

As you can see, Caleb wasn't too sure about the green beans!! He gagged and quivered after each bite, but continued eating until we were done feeding him. The kids had so much fun helping and watching him have his first taste of baby food.

Yum! Yum! Dinnertime!

Open wide! Caleb got to have his first taste of "real" food last night. (Green beans.....gotta love that baby food.) After his 4 month appt. on Tues., Dr. Aizad said that because he was SO big, we should only feed him low carb. veggies. Sorry buddy, it looks like peas and green beans are the only thing on the menu for now.

Caleb's first walk

Here's Shaun and Caleb enjoying a beautiful Sunday evening on Caleb's first "official" walk! It was so enjoyable being with our whole family for one of the first times since Caleb was born. We even ran into a few neighbors that we told could look at him but couldn't touch! Caleb didn't make a peep, and had a wonderful time staring at all of the new scenery around him.

Caleb and Big Sissy

Sydney loves holding Caleb, and having her picture taken with him. She is such a big helper, and always wants to be the first to comfort him when he is crying. It is wonderful watching the older kids interact with him. They love to make him smile and try extra hard to get some giggles every now and then. He truly has brought so much love and joy into our home.

Caleb

Caleb is doing great, he continues to eat and grow and develop. He's up to 17 lbs. now!

He is such a happy good natured little baby. He is always smiling and is beginning to find his voice.

We are still advised to keep him in the house and out of public places for another few months. However recently we have been able to have a few family visitors over.

Caleb brings such joy to our lives, he truly is a little angel.

Caleb Update

So it's been awhile since I've posted any recent pictures of Caleb. I can't believe he is already 8 weeks old. He's such a fun little baby. He's recovered from his RSV and we were able to qualify him for a series of RSV vacinations that should keep him protected from the virus throughout the rest of the season.

In addition to the RSV he also had a little ear infection and a slight case of pneumonia. He's also been back to the hospital for his EEG and his hearing test - he passed both with flying colors! It's been a rough couple of months for the little guy but he is doing amazingly well.
