Christmas Break Recap

As a child, I loved Christmas Break.  No school for two weeks, Christmas celebrations and lots of snow!  Now that Caleb is here, I think I love it even more!  We spent the last week of our break running around, play dates with friends, sleeping in, and spending the day in our pjs.  I went back to work on Thursday, but at least it was only for two days :)

Christmas Break brought some big milestones for Caleb: crawling and his first ear infection.  The week before Christmas, he began taking a few scoots.  On the 27th, he started crawling and hasn't slowed down since.  It seemed like he suddenly realized, "I can move on my own!"  He found his way to Rickey's water bowl and food and the volume knob for the surround sound.  Needless to say, the gate on the stairs went up pretty quickly after that!  He was really fussy Monday and Tuesday, so I took him to the doctor and his has a double ear infection.  Poor Baby!


 I just came across this picture on my phone: Caleb and Papaw taking a break from Christmas Shopping....Too cute not to share.

 Another first: willingly holding his own bottle

 Happy Boy!


On Thursday, we went to Katie and Ava's for a play date with Kristina, Grant, Madeline, Ava, and Katie.  Katie and Kristina are two of my good friends from work.  The girls, Madeline and Ava are 3 and a half, and Grant is 3 weeks younger than Caleb.  Our first official play date!

 Grant, how did you get up there?  

 Boys, you cannot play with Strawberry Shortcake!

 Don't you just love their cheeks?


 Now that Caleb is mobile, his favorite spot is the sliding door with his sidekick.

 Vroom Vroom!

 Playing with his piano from Uncle Craig....Concentrating so hard!

 Do I have something on my face?  

 Jason and Matt had their monthly M.O.M. meeting last Friday, so Jenny and I took Caleb and Margo on their first date!  They rode around the mall in their strollers and had dinner at Johnny Rocket's.  25 years til the wedding day!



 Our sweet baby boy..Mommy loves you soooooo much!  I thank God that I have not only a job that I love, but a job that allows me to spend long breaks home with you.  It was so hard for me to leave you Thursday morning, but I am already counting the days until Spring Break and our next week home together.
