My Babies


Caleb is the sweetest little man.  He smiles constantly and is completely content.  After his traumatic entrance to the world and his illness so early in his life, he has pleased us with his progress.  He is a little eater and is growing like a weed.  He weighs almost 20 lbs.  He started at just over 6 lbs when he was born a month early.  He is 8 months old now and I don't know what we would do without him.  He loves to play on the floor and will just roll and roll and roll.  He is up on his knees ocassionally, and I think he will crawl any day.  He has absolutely no interest in sitting, because that would mean he wasn't moving!  He is a little mama's boy and I don't mind one bit.  He is nice and chubby, so he is squishy and cuddly.  He weighs 3/4 of what Katie weighs, so he is definitely a handful!  I love his big grin and his big green eyes.  We just love our sweet boy and are so thankful he is part of our family. 

Katie will be 3 in April and she is more like 3 going on 16.  She is way too big for her britches.  She is always telling me how funny she is and how silly she is, and she is right.  She is constantly cracking us up.  She is so smart and she can recognize all of her numbers and most of her letters.  She loves to tell us what color everything is.  She is a super-sweet big sister and she adores her baby brother.  She talks baby talk to him that is just hilarious and smothers him with love and kisses.  She loves to read and do puzzles and she is a little bit of a tomboy.  She loves Cars and Toy Story more than princesses and loves to play with balls.  She does, however, have to make sure her socks match and that she has a bow in her hair.  She is a nice mix of tomboy and girlie-girl, which I love.  She is a major daddy's girl and the adoration is mutual.  We are so thankful for our sweet Katie and don't know what we would do without her.
