Kaleb Update

I know its been awhile since I mentioned Kaleb so here is a slew (slough?) of updates on our little Bear:


We never really cared if Kaleb ever took a pacifier or not, especially since he never seemed to like it at all and would immediately spit it out. But the other day he was really hungry and we were on a tight schedule, so I tried it, and he took it. He slept with it for about 20 minutes so we could get ready. It's come in handy a few times, although he continues to be fickle about it. Sometimes he likes it. Sometimes he doesn't.



For the last month I've had to supplement nursing with a bottle a day which gives Ammon time to uh... bond with Kaleb. Ammon is of course pretending to sleep for the picture. We just like to see Kaleb feeding himself. He has no problem holding up those little bottles when there is less than two oz. in them.

Kaleb is finally showing interest in standing (you know how babies like to push with their legs, even at an early age). He didn't at first so we started making sure he has his 'exercises' every day to strangthen his legs and torso. I love that look of, "Daddy, don't drop me" in the picture.


After a week of leaks and gushing out of his diapers we decided it was time to move up a size, so Kaleb is already in size 3's. My baby's got a bog ol' booty! (Shocker!)




Kaleb has started smiling at us. He's always been a smiley baby, but it was just random mouth twitches until this week. Now we can occasionally get him to smile at little things we do. I love how his eyes disappear, just like both of ours.

Size 3 already?!?! WOW!! Garrett is still in size 2! Granted his father has a butt that's nowhere to be seen lol

Haha! Mia's in size 5 diapers, so that size 3 sounds really soon. But then again, she moved up the ranks pretty quickly and has been in size 5's for like a year.

I love it when they start smiling for reasons ... not just reflexes.
