long overdue post...

Yay! Little Caleb is 3 months old as of the day before yesterday. We've been meaning to start a blog about Caleb & his adventures, developments, mishaps, and discoveries for some time but never quite got around to it until today. There's so much we would have written about in these first 3 months, but hey, better late than never! Here's a few random thoughts from the first three months, more to be added later...

Birth: I still can't believe this precious little boy used to live in my belly. I also can't believe that things like fingers, toes, noses etc can come in such a small size :). Caleb was very smiley right from the start and definitely a very good boy. not much crying (even when taking shots!).

Diaper Adventures: While we hoped our first kid would be a boy, we learned that there are some things you need to be prepared for when you have a baby boy. Caleb was surprisingly good at aiming that Golden shower at his loving diaper changers (especially at Gabe!). It wasn't just the golden shower though...there are other things that can travel great distances in it's liquid state (since he only drinks milk right now). :P After a few weeks of great messes, we've learned how to shield ourselves and take precautions. But yes, there are many many joys of parenthood. For me, this wasn't one of them :)

Noises: I must say, Caleb makes the cutest noises. His first noise (other than the crying wimpers) was "awwww" which he would say after every sneeze (check out video examples of this during
Caleb's first week and just last week). It's really funny especially when he has multiple sneezes and multiple "awww"s, which unfortunately is difficult to catch on video. Despite what it seems like, I don't film him every second of the day ;) Last month, he started making all sorts of other noises, mostly "eh"s, "ah"s, and "coo"s, but also "whooooo" and the very rare "hiiiiiiii" (which also is sometimes just "eyeeee"). He's also said "uh oh" a few times after he relieves himself :) I guess he'll work up to mama ;)

Caleb's favorite things: Caleb is a very lucky boy. He's got lots of toys, stuffed animals, activity centers, etc. But I must say, Caleb's all time favorite thing to look at is Ceilings. He can stare at ceilings for hours and hours and be very amused. Second to ceilings is lights...or best yet, ceiling lights. Although I must say, Caleb recently discovered how yummy his fingers are just a few weeks ago...he seems to LOVE that perhaps even more than ceilings. (here's a video that shows
just how delicious his little fingers are)

Hmm...this is getting long...so, here's where i stop. To be continued...
