Almost 5 months old

It's Christmas time and Caleb got to experience his first snow last night. Pretty exciting for the little guy. We're pretty sure he wants to eat it. Along with everything else he sees...

Speaking of eating it, here is a video of Caleb trying to feed himself rice cereal tonight. He's eating rice cereal every night, and occasionally some other smashed up veggies.

Thanksgiving was a great time with both families. We really enjoyed seeing extended family and getting to show off our little guy. We are continuously reminded of how blessed we are with such a great baby. He is sleeping well and eating really well. He is really mild mannered. It's great.

We had a date yesterday while Aunt Nancy & Uncle Tim watched Caleb. We're pretty sure we're lucky we got him back from Nancy... she may have wanted to keep him. :)

We're looking forward to Caleb's first Christmas with family. This is definitely an exciting time. If you got a Christmas letter from us last year, you should be getting one in the next couple of weeks. If you'd like one, shoot us a message and we'll get you on the list! :)

Love you all!

3 months old

Caleb turned 3 months old on Sunday. It's pretty amazing to think that it's been that long since we came home from the hospital, forever changed.

We went up to Iowa State the first weekend in October to visit Aunt Amanda at their new married student housing apartment in Ames. Uncle Spencer was out of town for the weekend doing some coaching training, but we really enjoyed the visit with Amanda, who is looking more and more adorable every time we see her. Her belly is really starting to show now. Baby boy Fontana is due at the beginning of February. So exciting! It'll be grandbaby #5 for the Goldings, and grandson #4. Poor GiGi is getting pretty outnumbered. :)

Caleb is turning into an incredible talker. He lies on his playmat and will sing for hours at a time. His two most common words are "Ahh-Goooo" and "Geeee!" although he's beginning to pick up more every day. As I type this it's "rwoah" and "yah-ooo" Still no sign of wanting to roll over, but we're perfectly fine with that. :)

Here's some more pictures for your viewing pleasure. He's in 6 month and some 9 month clothes already, and not showing any signs of slowing down! He's about 18 lbs now. Seriously, how did we get such a big baby?
