Sue Swanson came and stayed with us for a week, that was a huge blessing! She took care of Caleb at night, which involved a couple of nights of being up until at least midnight because he thought it was time to play. We were so blessed to have her here. It helped me get back onto a somewhat regular schedule, which was also aided by the fact that during that week he decided to try to sleep through the night! He's been regularly sleeping through the night since the 2nd week of September (8 weeks old), which has been a huge relief.
Caleb and I took our first airplane trip last week to visit Great-Grandma Bunny and Great-Grandpa Neil. Grandma Cindy and Aunt Lynnea met us there, and we spent the day out in downtown Chicago taking the boat tour and eating a fabulous meal at Red Lobster - all in celebration of Great-Grandma Bunny's 82nd birthday. Or as she claims, 28th birthday.
Last weekend was the K-State - Iowa State football game, and Aunt Amanda and Uncle Spencer came down to visit to go to the game at Arrowhead. Although we got to see the bump, we're all excited to actually meet the next cousin/nephew on the way in February!
Caleb's latest stats... he's setting his own curve on the chart. I really hope our future children aren't quite so big. However, I was holding a girl 4 days younger than him this morning and felt like I could break her. And she's 11 lbs... not tiny, that's for sure.
16 lbs 5.5 oz (average weight for a 5 1/2 month old boy)
26 3/4 in (average length for 7 month old boy)
Here's a few more pictures. Enjoy!
