6 weeks old!

Wow, somehow I'm not all that surprised I haven't updated this since we had family in town. But here we go! :)

Caleb is doing very well... he's eating & growing like crazy and working on sleeping pretty well. He's regularly doing 5 hours at night, and recently not needing to eat much when he does wake up to eat. Eric was able to feed him a bottle this weekend, so I got my first night of full sleep since he was born! That was wonderful.

And of course, Mark & Sarah (Eric's brother) have their two-year old and their 3-month old twins, so we're really enjoying spending regular time with them. We took them all on a walk last night - three infants, one toddler, and 4 adults. It's really nice living less than a mile from them. We find we have a lot more in common now that we both have children.

We're adjusting well to being parents and really enjoy it. Caleb adds a whole new dimension to life. He is just now starting to smile socially and makes a lot of "cooing" and grunting type noises. We're pretty sure he's going to be a talker, even now he will be perfectly fine and just makes noise to make noise all the time, even when he's sleeping.

Sue (Eric's mom) will be coming into town this week, so we're planning our first alone date since he was born. Woohoo! ;)

I've posted pictures on facebook, but here's a couple more on Picasa.
