SO BEHIND...

O-M-G...I am SO behind on posting to this blog.  Why does time go so fast and life is so crazy?!?!?!?!  I just want it to ssssllllloooowww down.  Guess who is now rolling over?!  You got that right...my 5 month old baby boy.  5 months already?...I know that's what you just said.  Where has time gone?!  5 months ago yesterday we were welcoming baby Cale and now he's a rolly polly little boy.

Easter is the weekend...so we HAD to go see the Easter bunny of course!  Luckily he wasn't taking a carrot break while we were there and we had to hurry cause Mr. Nosey would NOT nap while we were out in about and he was just starting to get cranky!


I have videos I desperately need to post.  Of course Mr. Congeniality does not like to display his awesomeness on camera.  As soon as we pull the bloggie out he gives us a blank stare and stops what he's doing! aah!!!  One day he'll show off for us!  

Next post...all about rolling over and VIDEOS!!! Finally!!!

Adios!

Outside Fun

It was finally nice enough for Cale to get some fresh air last week! Here's a few pictures....
Grilling with grandpa:)

Chillin' outside at my grandma's!

Enjoying an evening on the patio with my puppy!

He's now eaten applesauce, bananas, pears, and sweet potatoes.  And...he's had NO emotions over them!  I keep expecting a funny face or a reaction and he just acts like its nothing different! I guess I can't complain:)

Yesterday we had a cute little boy that had NO interest in napping....aaahhh!!! He thought napping for 40 minutes the entire day was going to cut it.  ha! i don't think so:) Needless to say it was a LONG evening....We're not sure if it was the teeth, the excessive amount of fresh air, or being overly tired.  Either way...it was patience testing for sure.  My mom said it's payback because I was always too nosey to nap...NOT funny:)

We've switched bottles to the thinner ventair...they are fast flow too and he seems to be doing fairly well with them.  Last time we tried fast flow it went ALL over him but they were the wider bottles so that may have been why also.  Trial and error is how our life now is:)

Ta-ta for now...let's hope warmer weather is here to stay!

Basically so Cale can wear this cool hat....

Chunky Monkey

Boy do we have a chunky monkey on our hands!  Cale had his 4 mo. appointment today..here are his stats:
Weight: 16lb 61/3oz
Length: 25 1/2 in
Head circumference: 42.5 cm

Dr. Melvin said he is exploding off the charts especially for being so early!  He said..."you tell his dad he's got a stud on his hands!"  We sure do love Dr. Melvin...

We've been eating cereal for about a month now...Sunday he tried applesauce and loved it!  The doctor also said we can start other foods as we want.  We don't have to go in any order and its up to us on how much he gets.  So...I guess we really are in charge?!

Cale spent the night at his great grandma's for the first time last night.  He slept on a little air mattress surrounded by pillows...it was so cute:)  He met his great, great grandma Kay and great Uncle Don from Tennessee also.

As much as I love that my little boy is independent and can fall asleep by himself...I'm starting to get a complex because he won't nap with me:(  After his shots today he was so tired so I thought for sure we get a nap in and sure enough he wanted nothing to do with me.  I sat him in his swing and he was out like a light.  Yes, I know this is a positive thing but it makes me sad:(

Since I didn't get the good nap today I wanted i'm off to bed.  Goodnight:)

Videos....finally:)








Skinny jeans

Look at my skinny jeans!  My daddy says that I look like the guy on the Miller Lite commercial with his "woman jeans" on.  Daddy also thinks i'm a "thug"...with my 'wife beater' shirt on...he's so silly!

Could it be?!

Could it possibly be...could we maybe have an ALL-NIGHT sleeper?  You got that right....so far we've gotten THREE full nights of sleep!  I seriously feel like I could rebuild Rome with all the sleep I've gotten.  As I type this it's 9:35 and I can still hear him stirring so I really hope this isn't a bad sign tonight we'll break our streak:(  I've learned the earlier he goes to bed, the longer he sleeps but dang...it is SO hard to get him to bed so early.  Especially during the week when we get home, play, eat dinner, cereal, bottle, bath.  Whew...We need more hours in the day!!!

Cereal is going great....he is eating more and more everyday.  So far we're only doing one time a day but we plan to up it to two soon.  Maybe tomorrow will be the day?  I'm hoping to do cereal before we leave then he can do a bottle at Donna's. 

We have a Talker!  No idea where he got that from ;)  Every night he tells us all about his day (babbling for a good 20 minutes or so) and he loves to chat while he gets his diaper changed!  I think he's telling me how he's going to potty train early so he doesn't have to wear those silly things so long! hahaha 

Cale is loving his hands these days..just yesterday he started sticking almost his entire hand in his mouth.  And we have a lot of drool going on.  Teething? Not sure yet...he doesn't seem too cranky or feverish...but I think it may be in the works!

Daycare has been wonderful...I dropped him off the other day and another little boy, Jace (sp?), came up to play with him and he was smiling like "hey, there's my friend!"

Mommy and daddy have been SUPER busy at work....which is why this blog is not up to date at all.  I am way exhausted when I get home or don't have time.  I definitely need to get new pictures and videos up here.

We got his three month pictures a few weeks ago (anticipating their arrival) and are hoping they turn out well.  He is definitely not an "i love my picture" boy but he's so cute i'm sure they'll be great!  And of course...we are a smiling fool now and did he smile for ANY of them? NOOOOO....really?!?!  Then I lay him down to change his clothes and guess who starts laughing and smiling!  Stinker!!!!

He still has a dang cough...can't seem to get rid of that stinking thing!  We were titling the crib but apparently that makes him squirm down so it did not good.  He would wake up with his head where his feet would be which was totally defeating the purpose!  Hopefully we get some warm weather soon and we can get outside.  Mommy's ready to start running outside!  Only a few weeks until her 1st 5k...woohooo!!!!

Mommy's off to bed now....in anticipation of sleeping ALL night:)

Pictures and videos will hopefully be up tomorrow...during the Bachelorette Finale...go Emily!!
