Yesterday was Caleb's 1 month "birthday." He has grown so much in the past month! He started out at 7 pounds, 3 ounces, dropped as low as 6 pounds, 13 ounces and is now up to 9 or 10 pounds (as far as we can tell, since he doesn't have another appointment until 2 months)! He was 19.5 inches when he was born and now he is 22 inches long- from my home measurement this morning! I can honestly say that I love the little guy more each day. Right now, he loves to look at the contrast between the curtains and the wall (that's what he's looking at in the picture). He sucks on his hand to self comfort or if he's hungry. Turning his head to the left is also a favorite. I may have gotten a real smile today, but I'm not sure :). He can lift his head momentarily during tummy time and has turned it all the way from left to right a few times. He loves bathtime, but hates having his diaper changed. His sleeping is off and on right now. Mama and daddy are working on figuring out if there is anything we can do to help with this (especially sleeping at night). Mama has cut out dairy, chocolate, peanuts, gassy veggies, and caffine from her diet and we are giving Caleb a bath every evening to calm him. We'll see what happens tonight- he's currently sleeping off and on right now! Caleb,
It has been so amazing to get to know you this month. I can't believe that it's only/already been a month! You are growing and changing so much already that I can't imagine what the next months and years will hold. Your daddy and I are already praying for you and teaching you about Jesus and his grace that is offered to you. We hope that you follow in your namesake in faithfulness and boldness for Christ. We hope that Jesus will give us the wisdom and grace to be good parents to you, showing you how to live. What a big job! Sometimes the thought of it is overwhelming! Good thing parenting mainly consists of feeding, changing diapers, rocking, and singing right now. We love you so much and can't wait to get to know you even more!
Love,
Mama
