Caleb Celebrates His First Mother's Day & Turns 2 Months!

Yesterday we celebrated our first Mother's Day as a new family - a very special and surreal day. Caleb was extremely thoughtful, buying me flowers, peanut butter M&M's and a manicure & pedicure. Someone must have given him a list of my favs!

Caleb also turned 2 months today - how time flies! I feel as though we're finally coming out of the fog and starting to get into a bit of a groove. Here are some of the main milestones of the past month:

  • While there still is very little routine or predictability, we're finally getting a bit more sleep and continuing to learn Caleb's cues (hungry, tired, cranky, etc.). 
  • At our doctor's appointment today, we learned that Caleb is 13 lbs. 11 oz and 24" long - putting him in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. Despite his reflux and aspirating, the boy still knows how to eat!
  • Caleb is expressing himself more through his smile and verbal coos. There's nothing like the moment his eyes meet ours and his face lights up in glee - melts us every time! 
  • We celebrated Aunt Hannah's graduation from the University of Michigan. Way to go - graduating with highest honors... so proud of you!

Caleb knows his mama!
Who wouldn't want to cuddle this little cub up??

Caleb says "no more photos!"
Look at his poor little legs!
I'm glad his first set of shots is over with... not sure who cried more - me or Caleb!
Can't believe this smiley guy is already 2 months old!
