Sensational Saturday

This Sensational Saturday (wink, wink Laurie), I have several break-throughs to share with you all.  Caleb continues to do amazingly well.  He is sleeping through the night in bed with us, he is taking naps in his bed, and he is eating, eating and eating some more.  If he is awake then he wants to be eating!  He is SUPER picky but once we find something he likes he eats and eats.  He loves sitting at the table in the sassy seat with the "big" kids and eating!  We really aren't sure how much food was offerred to him before because like I said the last several days he has eaten and eaten.  I took him to the doctor on Friday and he weighs a whopping 22 pounds!  Thankfully, my sister-in-law, Teresa, had a friend who has given us some hand me downs in 18 month sizes!  Another break-through is Caleb riding in his car seat.  He did not like his car seat at all the first couple days.  Now he gets in the car and crawls in his seat and waits for us to buckle him up!  We are a family on the go so we are glad that he now likes his car seat.  However, he likes to eat the entire time he is in the car!  On attachment, he has attached to Nicholas and Hunter.  If they are around that is who he wants!  We have a long way to go with him attaching to the rest of us.  Mommy is ok at night at bedtime.  He will snuggle with me at that time.  This afternoon, he came in from playing outside and he went around the house hugging everyone.  It was so cute and we loved that he initiated the hugging!

Nicholas' little buddy...

So sweet...

He loves baths until it is time to wash his hair!

He loved riding in the jeep; no car seat needed!!
Claire took him for a ride too!
Taking a nap in his bed...
Claire was trying to love on him.  He wanted down!
Napping with Daddy...


Editor's note:  I am so glad Brianna got a camera for Christmas, she took most of the pictures that I post!
