4 1/2 Months

Baby Boy is growing so fast. Just today while we were sitting in church, I realized how big he is getting. He sat there and held his soccer rattle, shoes, burp cloth... just about anything he could get his hands on. No longer will he just lay in my arms for long periods of time. Nope, he's trying to stand, turn, and wiggle about.

We started rice cereal a couple weeks ago, and this week he has had some oatmeal. Caleb really likes it, and just gobbles it down. He's a big growing boy! At our 4 month appointment he was 50% for weight (16lbs) and 90% for his height! Long and lean like his Daddy. :)

"Baby Babble" has become a constant sound in our household, as Caleb really likes to hear his voice (much like his Mom) and even screech like an animal. One day this week, I really had to try not to sing or chat a lot with him because his voice got so raspy for "talking" so much the days before. Caleb is also rolling over from his stomach to his back, and sometimes even holding his bottle for a minute or two! Slow down with all this big boy stuff!!

This week Brian and I became an Aunt and Uncle! Congratulations to Megan and Todd on their precious baby, Cole Anderson Cooper. He is a cutie pie, and we can't wait to spoil him!! Caleb and Cole are lucky to have each other to run around and catch lizards, play in the dirt, and do all the things little boys do. Caleb really looks like a giant next to Cole. It is amazing how much a difference 4 1/2 months can be now, but it's nothing later in life!
