On Sunday afternoon we dropped Daddy off at the airport to go to Richmond, Virgina for 4 days for work. Caleb and I were NOT excited about him leaving to say the least!!!! So on Monday night we headed over to Grandmommy and Grandpa's house to spend the night. It was nice to be there and have some help! Tuesday was Grandmommy's 39th (he he) birthday, and Grandpa's birthday was the 12th. So the whole family (minus Michael and my brother, Craig) all went to Provino's for their birthday dinner. Here are the birthday boy and girl....
Tuesday after dinner we went back to Grandmommy's house and it was bath time! My sister was there and gave Caleb his bath. She and Grandmommy thought it would be great fun to give Caleb a Mohawk...you can tell Caleb was not amused....
Thursday Caleb had his 2 month check-up. It is hard for us to believe he has only been here a month. We really don't remember what our life was like before Mr. Man came. Caleb was a perfect baby at the doctor. This was the first time he didn't spray a nurse or the doctor -- YEA!!!! Here were his "stats"...
weight: 11.05 pounds
height: 23.25 inches
head: 15.5 inches
He had only gained a little over 1 pound, which I was and wasn't surprised about. Caleb has been spitting up A LOT. At our last appointment we started him on a new formula because he was so gassy (he is going to love this comment in about 15 years!!). Anyway -- that formula has helped with his gas and fussiness, but the spit-up has been out of control. Some nights we go through 2 pairs of pajamas. Dr. D didn't like his lack of weight gain, so he is having us put 2 teaspoons of cereal in his bottle 2 times a day. He said he thinks this will help with not only the spit-up, but help him put on weight as well. After the appointment we headed to Target to get the cereal and bigger nipples (so it won't clog). So far, so good! He has had a cereal bottle 3 times with minimal spit-up!!!! We'll see how it goes....
Caleb also had to have 4 shots and one oral vaccine; he LOVED the oral one...just licked those lips and kept saying "mmmm!!" The 4 other ones (2 in each leg), he really didn't care for. It was the most pitiful thing I have ever seen. Caleb was laying there happy, talking, kicking when BAM! The nurse shot him. The look on that child's face was priceless...he looked at me, bottom lip out to Texas, with this look that said - MY BEST FRIEND JUST SHOT ME!!!! The nurse was great -- he did all 4 shots quickly and Caleb has 2 band aids to prove it. :) Here are some pics we took...poor baby...
And lastly...do you think Buddy the cat is having jealousy problems with Caleb? And yes, my cat is bigger than my child!! He's on a diet, OK?!?
