4 Months

<----- This is what Kaleb looked like after he got his shots, and man is he LOUD! He doesn't whine or cry much, but when he does, it is ear piercing! Time is just flying by and he is getting cuter and more fun by the second! Happy to report a healthy baby from his appointment this morning. His doctor pretty much said the usual...'your child is an abnormally good baby'...trust me, i count my blessings. He also said he is extremely strong and active for his age, burning tons of calories, which is probably the reason he is so skinny. He did address his big head again, and said he is almost positive we will be putting him in a helmet to correct his Brachycephaly w/ Plagiocephaly....Basically his head is way flat, and because of the force of the vacuum plus my pelvic bone, his flat spot moved, making it alot harder to correct on it's own. We've done really well with keeping him on his tummy, but it just doesn't seem to be working. So at 6 months he will go in for a evaluation to see if we need a helmet. I'm not too concerned with the helmet, he won't have to be in it that long, and he will still look adorable as ever! Other than all that he is doing great, and we have been so blessed to have him be a part of our family!

Here's his 4 months stats....

14.5lbs - (29th percentile for weight)

26inches - (75th percentile for height)

41 inch head circumference - (97th percentile!)

so we have a tall, skinny, big headed cutie pie! :)

...in love...

Do you remember what it was like when you fell in love with your spouse? How you could never quite verbalize the feeling of how much love you had for that one person?

Well, it's like that feeling all over again but now there's 2 men in my life that i am madly in love with, and somehow i still can't find the words to describe it!

I am such a sucker for these two! I think of how much they look like eachother, and how i can't wait until I can hear Kaleb say 'daddy' and get to see him copy his dad and watch them become best buddies. I am so thankful Jared is the man my son will pattern his life after!

I was on my way home from work the other day and this song came on the radio, which turned me into a ball of tears and blissful gratitude for my boys :)

'I've Been Watching You Dad'

Driving through town just my boy and me

with a happy meal in his booster seat
knowing that he couldn't have the toy

till his nuggets were gone

Green traffic light turned straight to red

I hit my breaks and mumbled under my breath

as fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap

well then my four year old said a four letter work

that started with "s" and i was concerned

so i said son, now where'd you learn to talk like that

He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool

I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you

and eat all my food and grow as tall as you are

We got cowboy boots and camo pants

yeah we're just alike, hey aint we dad

I wanna do everything you do

so i've been watching you

We got back home and I went to the barn

I bowed my head and prayed real hard

said Lord please help me help my stupid self

Then this side of bedtime later that night

turning on my son's Scooby Doo nightlight

He crawled out of bed and he got down on his kneed

He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands

and spoke to God like he was talking to a friend

and I said son, where'd you learn to pray like that

He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool

I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you

and eat all my food and grow as tall as you are

We like fixing things and holding Mama's hand

Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad

I wanna do everything you do

So i've been watching you

With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug

Said my little bear is growing up

He said but when i'm big I'll still know what to do

Cause I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool

I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you

and eat all my food and grow as tall as you are

Then I'll be strong as you and Superman

We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad

When I can do everything you do

Cause I've been watching you
