Never Long Enough

We had to take PeePaw to the airport this afternoon, and even
though he has been here since Wednesday afternoon, the visits
are just never long enough!




Caleb LOVED having his PeePaw (He started calling him
"Dad" since that's what he heard me say!) here and we are
all looking forward to his next visit in 5 weeks! Many more
pictures to come...

After Dinner Treat

Last week Caleb and I met Erika and Ava at Jason's Deli for dinner
AND dessert. Gotta love Jason's free soft serve...

All smiles from both kiddos!

Breakfast with Mickey

What do you think?

Everyone keeps asking if I "feel" like I am having a boy or a girl...
Honestly, I don't "feel" either way, and didn't "feel" a certain way
about Caleb. Now, I can guess one way or the other, and I'm
fairly certain I have about a 50% chance of getting that right. It's
easier for me to refer to the baby as "he," but that's simply
because I am used to saying "he" with Caleb. While Creed, Caleb,
and even Nikki are all fairly certain it's a girl, I just don't know!
This pregnancy is TOTALLY different than Caleb's so maybe
that matters. Maybe the fact that I need orange juice every morning
matters. Or maybe the heartbeat in the 140s matters. Who knows?!
I guess we'll just have to wait! But, just for fun...

Baby Cake Update

Today I had my 16 weeks checkup, and this time Caleb tagged
along. While he was really well behaved while we waited, he didn't
like that Dr. Simpson was checking me out and told her to "Go
away." Repeatedly! I explained that it wasn't nice to say that and
how he should thank her for letting him hear the baby's heartbeat.
So he looked up at her and politely said, "Thank you baby heartbeat.
Go away." Oh well.

So far, Cake is measuring right on schedule and his/her heartbeat
was in the 140s. (I looked back in Caleb's book and at 16 weeks his
was in the 150s.) At 16 weeks, Cake's average size should be about
that of an avocado.

Just think...exactly three weeks from today we will finally know
if Cake is going to be wearing blue or pink!

Best Boy Ever

Caleb was so good at his latest hair cut. Christi told him that he was

the "best boy ever." Wouldn't you be in you had that sucker?!! She

was also teasing me about how much we are going to end up spending

on Caleb's hair cuts over the years. Considering he goes every 8 weeks,

and I still have to trim it at about 6 weeks, I'd say she's right! I predict a

buzz cut in our future!

Just Like Home

While checking out the Thomas the Train sale at Toys R Us this
week, I came across the brand "Just Like Home" and I knew that
Caleb would L-O-V-E it. It was buy one, get one 50% off, so I
had to pick up two items. We got the coffee maker and microwave
and that afternoon he played for OVER TWO HOURS! The
microwave is so cute...he has different foods to choose from then
sets the time on the microwave accordingly. When he presses
"start" it makes a noise and the food spins around on the plate. Plus
it beeps when it's ready. SO cute. But...the coffee maker is our
favorite. You pour water in it and he pushes a button for it to then
go in the pot. It makes a realistic noise and everything!

Loving it!

Pouring his coffee.

One cup for Mommy.

It cracks me up that he knows to pour the creme in the coffee

because neither Creed or I use it.

Ready for a pretend sip!

Happy Birthday, Daddy Joe!

On Friday evening we all went to Rick & Sharon's house to celebrate
Daddy Joe's birthday. Caleb had fun running around with Eli, Ava,
and Reagan, and he especially loved Eli's bouncy house that he
brought! After Caleb finally talked everyone into eating cake, Aunt
Sharon let him put the candles on. He worked for a few a minutes,
carefully placing each candle around the outside of the writing, making
sure not to mess up the icing. We might have a little "Cake Boss" on
our hands! :)

New Bed

Caleb is so excited to show off his "new bed" as he calls it, although
all we did was turn his crib into a toddler bed. We did it last weekend
on a trial run basis (only 4 screws and we could have the side back
on!) but he did so great that it looks like it's here for good.

So excited!

At night he is excited to climb in on his own and when he wakes up

he calls for us and waits to get out until we tell him he can. So far

so good! Hopefully we'll have it turned into a full size bed before

February!
