3 months! He REALLY likes his tongue now!

Getting ready for bath time - his favorite!

Super excited to get naked:

Here we go - time for smiles!

Biting Momma's hand to help teethe:

Holding Momma's hand while enjoying the water:

He moved up into his crib and he slept so much better because he moves around so much!

Super smiley!

Always biting something ...

This is awesome (Daddy thinks so too)!

Frowney face while sleeping:

Snuggling with Daddy:

Taking Piggy on a walk:

Yeah ... I've got some guns.

Bath time is even MORE fun with cowboy duck!

Enjoying the bumbo chair and firefly:

Sock monkey lovey in the crib for a nap:

For Michael's birthday day we went to visit his Dad and Jan in Vegas - it had just rained a ton and the water was like glass in front of the mountains!

Michael got to bring home the Pony!

Jan and Caleb hanging out:

Our little water baby loved the pool and hot tub!

Michael and his Big Buddy in the hot tub!

Momma with super tired Caleb:

A beautiful LV sunset:

A Kona Kake to celebrate!

Granddad Steve and Caleb!

Morning snuggles before they started working on the Pony:

Caleb wanted to swim instead of work on the car :)

Definitely a Captain Cutie!

Lots of fun with Granny Jan!

Michael and Steve working on the Pony:

More swimming

Tired boy after all that time in the water!

Glad to be back in his chair in San Diego:

Tummy time ...

Uh oh!  He's on the move!

At 3 months, Caleb started sleeping for two 4-6 hour blocks at night and eating every 3-4 hours. He found his feet and he slept in his big crib for the first time! He could now roll from back to front and front to back as well as push up to scoot short distances so that he could reach his desired toy. Caleb chewed on everything - mostly his hands - but he refused a pacifier!

Its been awhile ...

So ... its been awhile. Just over a year. Whoops. Over the past 14 months we sold our house and moved into San Diego proper, finished grad school, and then we packed up our house again to move back to Virginia. We had a chance to visit with family along the way but I now need to do quite a bit of catching up so we'll start with last July.

Snuggles with Daddy:

Loving his sock monkey lovey:

Napping on mom and dad's big bed while Momma gets a shower:

First time in the bumbo chair:

 Some outside time on the porch in his swing while Mom and Dad enjoy some coffee:

 Snoozing in the chair:

Tummy time on Dadddy! 

Biting his lower lip (probably staring at the ceiling fan):

The Thinker

Yelling at his favorite toy - the octopus!

Turning his body around so he could come after Momma's camera:

Little fingers!

Visiting Daddy at his office!

Biting the blocks with help from the bumbo:

What we affectionately refer to as "bumbo butt" :)

Sweet sweet boy!

Honestly, the entire first year is a blur but I, thankfully, wrote down everything in his baby book! At his 2 month checkup he was 12 lbs 7 oz, and 25 inches. He finally started sleeping 3-4 hours a night and eating every 3 hours. Caleb found his tongue and could fit all of his fingers into his mouth! He also learned how to roll from front to back and this was when we started smiling and cooing! Its so much more fun when he is animated!
