Friends with a hint of lime

Wednesday, Caleb and I had lunch with Katie and Ava.  Katie and I have taught together for 7 years and took our Masters classes together.  Miss Ava is going to be 3 next week.  She loved holding Caleb and even wanted to help give him his bottle.  She was glad that we didn't bring Rickey because she thought he might, "eat my stuffed baby lamb." 

I think Caleb is already half the size of Ava. Love her big eyes!

Gotta love that smile!

Friday evening we were having Coronas and decided to give Caleb a little taste of a lime. 

Guess he didn't like it. 

A Week of Firsts

This week Caleb had two big "firsts"!  On Monday, he went to the babysitter for the first time.  I don't know who it was harder on him or mommy!?!?  As soon as we got there, he stuck out his bottom lip at me and started to cry.  We know he is in good hands with Sonya and Karen, but it was hard for me to leave him.  Even though I'm home for the summer, we thought it would be good to take him once a week so he can get  familiar with them and I can have time to work on my masters class. 

Ready for the sitter's!  When I picked him up, he was red faced because he spent most of the day crying.  Sonya reassured me it would just take him a while to get used to their routine. 

On Saturday, we took Caleb to mom and dad's for his first swim!  He loves bathtime, so we thought he would love the water too! 

Caked in sunscreen and ready to go!

 Daddy- what is this wet stuff?  I'm not so sure about it!

Okay Mamaw, I kinda like this swimming thing. 

Time with Mommy and Daddy

Matt was off for three days straight this week, so we got to spend lots of time together.  I love it when he gets to be home all day with us.

A new evening ritual:  Napping with Daddy

 Caleb has started reaching for things.  Matt took this pic of him playing with Ollie (his octopus). 

Going for a walk without his car seat!  One cool little guy :)

Three Month Pictures!

Becky came to take Caleb's three month pictures a couple of weeks ago.  He was all smiles, but by the time she got set up and got her camera out, he was asleep.  No matter what we did, we couldn't get a good smile out of him.  Regardless, Becky is a fantastic photographer and she got some great pics!  Thanks Becky! 

Memorial Day Weekend

Hope you had a wonderful Indy 500 and Memorial Day weekend!  Matt is a huge 500 fan, so this is one of his favorite weekends of the year.  While he went to his 10th straight race, Caleb, Rickey and I stayed all night with my parents.  Matt and I noticed Friday evening that we could see Caleb's two bottom front teeth in his gums!  Guess that's the reason behind all of the drooling and sucking on your fingers! 

3 Months Old!

I went back to work for 3 days this week.  It was hard to leave Caleb, but I knew he was in good hands.  He spent Tuesday with Dad, Wednesday with Grandma Stacy and Grandma Susie, and Thursday with Grandma Sally.  It's hard to believe Caleb is 3 months old!  Becky came last Friday and took his 3 month pictures.  I'll post those as soon as I get them. 

 Trying out the bumbo seat for the first time.  Still a little shakey.

My toys are now going straight to my mouth!

Hi Everyone! 

Uncle Craig

As I said in an earlier post, Craig has been staying with us during the month of May.  It has been so nice having an extra pair of hands around the house.  I know Caleb has really enjoyed spending time with his Uncle Craig.  He are going to miss him so much when he has to go back to Chicago!

Posing on Grandpa's four wheeler.  No way was I going to let Uncle Craig really take you for a ride.  He's a crazy driver!
