Little ham

I hate that my cell phone camera is so slow. So I was thrilled when I got this blurry smiley photo of my little man. He is just so sweet these days. I just want to love on him always!!

Go Bears!!

Chris has always wanted a football buddy. He got one and he is way too cute for words!! I just can't stand how fast he is growing. Seriously, my baby is sitting in a Bumbo!

Heather and Vince finally tied the knot!!

We got to celebrate their special day with them. I was nervous taking a 5 month old but Caleb was a dream! He was happy all day and despite barely napping, he was as pleasant as could be. I think he just didn't want to miss a thing with all the people and loud noise to take in.

Break down of Heather's wedding.

2 PM- get married. It was a short, simple ceremony. Heather looked stunning! We had 3.5 hours until the reception began. Many of us went back to Lilian's place where she announced some pretty big news! Think bun in an oven! Shhh!! We had a really good time hanging out with each other. I wish we lived closer to each other so we could visit more often. I'm so happy for all my friends- getting good jobs, houses, married, having babies. Man, it's like we are in our late 20s, early 30s these days.

Heather's reception started late. Cocktail hour began at 6; they had open bar and slideshows playing. They had a nice peacock wall art to sign. I thought that was a neat idea because they can display the art in their home and remember their guests from their big day! The doors finally opened around 7:15 to be seated. Dinner was served at 8 and the first dance was around 10 or so I believe. We did the reception-y things and enjoyed the photo booth pictures. Overall it was a great wedding and I couldn't be happier for the couple!

ready for his three hour drive

Baby's first... sunburn

Unfortunately for Caleb, he inherited his momma's sensitive skin. He got to play out on this gorgeous 70 degree day and had too much sun. This picture doesn't do his redness justice. Poor little man. Aloe and nursing for him tonight!

Caleb is 5 months

So dare I say that 4 months was my absolute favorite age?! He is so easy-going and fun and giggly. He can't exactly crawl away. He is learning so many new things. And I just love how much he enjoys life!

This month was a whirlwind --just when he turned four months, I had to return to work. It was a very hard adjustment for me, still is, but we are getting better each day.

Sleep:
Caleb sleeps from 8-10:30 then 10:40-2 then 2:15-5:30 and gets up for the day around 6:30.
He takes several naps throughout the day totaling around 5-6 more hours. He usually gets one good two hour nap in the morning and afternoon and sleeps in his carseat on the way home from daycare.

Food:
Still all breastmilk for my little champ

Development:
He watches the world very closely. He is quick to learn new sounds and things. He learned to stick out his tongue from watching at daycare. He is getting closer to sitting up. He has gotten more proficient at rolling from back to stomach and takes great interest in particular toys. He is all about music, loves it!

He still isn't a regular pooper and only goes during the day like every 7-8 days. Usually by day 6-7, he starts to be fussy. Although that seems to be cured this week as he has pooped every day!!

He still loves all the same things: music, mommy, daddy, baths, nursing and he still really hates loud noises (ex. dog barks, loud clapping, screeching chairs)

Here are some of my fave phone photos from his 4th month...
