3 months.

Caleb,

It's hard to believe 3 months ago we welcomed you into the world. Time has gone by fast already, yet I can't imagine what life was like without you. In just this past month you have grown up so much. Your looks are changing - you're losing your hair and you're growing so fast that you're now in 6 months clothes. You still have your big beautiful blue eyes that I love and hope do not change.

We celebrated our first Christmas with you and boy did you get spoiled by the grandparents! Next year we will be putting a limit to the number of toys you'll be able to receive - sorry kiddo. You also experienced your first long road trip, which was to South Carolina and got to meet all your cousins and aunts/uncles. You spent your first night at Smith Mountain Lake as well, which I'm sure we'll be spending a lot more time down there when it gets warmer.

This month your dad and I had our first weekend away from you and boy was it HARD. I missed you like crazy and couldn't wait to get back home to hold you, cuddle you, and kiss those chubby cheeks of yours.

You found your hands this month too and they always seem to find their way into your mouth when you don't have a pacifier in. You love your dog Scout who sings to you and even says your name! You started batting at toys now and still love your mobile in your crib, which is where you sleep now since you outgrew the moses basket. Waking up in the mornings are a bit tough for you. There's a lot of grunting and stretching going on for at least 5 minutes until you give us a big toothless grin.

Unfortunately you were a horrible sleeper this month. What happened to sleeping from 10pm 'til 5am?? You now have been waking up a few times throughout the night, which I have to admit has been rough for your dad and I. You also aren't a very good napper yet either, but we're still working on that.

Amidst your sleepless nights, your dad and I are falling more and more in love with you. Our hearts melt when we hold you at community group and you just coo and smile at us in our arms. We love that you save your best smiles for us and how I'm the one that can best soothe you.

We love you Caleb and look forward to what this next month holds for us!
