Braving the Shots

Yesterday Caleb got to go to his four month checkup. He is now 11 pounds 9 ounces, and 23 and 1/2 inches long! He got shots, too. Four vaccines. He was very brave.

Today I got to the doctor. I have a pinched rotator cuff in my right shoulder. I started having terrible pain when I was about two months pregnant, but the fix is a Cortisone shot in the joint, and you can't have one while you're pregnant. So I had to wait until the baby was born, and then I kept putting it off. I finally went in today and got the Cortisone shot. I can honestly say it hurt worse than an epidural. But I tried to be brave like Caleb. 

Get Fuzzy and Laughing

I came across this in my files today. It's one of mine and Michael's favorite cartoons. We saved it because it always makes us laugh.

Speaking of laughing....Caleb laughed for the first time last night! Michael was tickling him, and he looked up at his daddy and just giggled for about ten seconds. It was the sweetest noise. It sounded kind of like a wheeze with a little hiccup at the end.

Baby Compare

A few weeks ago I took Caleb into work with me for the day, and my coworker Jenalee brought her daughter Haylee in too. We took this picture of them together. Look how much smaller Caleb is than Haylee! And he is three weeks older! The little guy just started out so small he's having trouble catching up. Haylee was born at 8 lbs 11 oz, which is how much Caleb weighed at two months. At least he's lighter to carry! But look at the funny faces they are both making!

First Blog

Well, we said we'd create a blog once the baby came, and three months later we finally are! Life with a new baby is pretty crazy, but we love it. Caleb is three months old now, and he is more fun every day. He has discovered his hands and takes great delight in staring at them and holding them up for us to see. Here are some adorable pictures.
