Our little guy is not so little anymore! He is getting so big! I love his pudgy cheeks and the rolls on his wrists, it is the cutest thing. He is such a good sleeper for his mommy at night, far different than what Ethan did. Ethan was getting up 2-3 times a night until like 8 months old, so the once or rarely twice that Caleb gets up is great and unexpected. Caleb loves his crib and being wrapped in a blanket while he sleeps. When get him in the morning, he always has a huge smile for Ethan and his mommy, quickly followed by hunger sounds. He is a great nurser and eats well, but that is obvious by looking at the kid! He had to go to the doctor the other day (no BM for three weeks!) and weighed in at 14.8 pounds at three months old. He spits up quite a bit, like Ethan did, but it is not affecting his growth, so it is nothing that we worry about. Ethan did it too until he was about 6 months old. I have to warn people before they hold him that he may spit up on them (and he usually does and they have to go and change their shirt). He is starting to sleep longer stretches during the day, which helps me get stuff done that I have been neglecting during the past few months due to lack of time. I have decided that all moms need about 10 more hands for all the stuff that they need to carry! My back and wrist are really taking a beating! All worth it though. Lets see.....he loves batting at toys and watching TV (way more than his brother who will not watch even 5 minutes to give mommy a break!). He is a pretty happy boy most of the time, but when he gets fussy- watch out, scream city! Usually mom is the only one who can calm him down. It is funny how they get to know how a certain person holds and talks to them. His big brother is doing great with him. He loves to give him pacifiers and get mom diapers, wipes, burp rags, you name it. He is such a great helper. He does get jealous a couple times a day if I am holding Caleb, he will usually start whining and say, " Mommy snuggle me!" I always find room for both on my lap:)The worst part for him is when he wakes up from a nap and I am holding Caleb - that is Ethan's favorite snuggle time. So I usually make sure that he gets it, unless Caleb really needs me. I love having two boys and know that they are going to keep me on my toes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Being a mom is the best - I feel so blessed!
