Caleb is....

Wow it's been a while...

Life has gotten crazy busy!  Everyday I get up at 450-ish and pump and get ready for work.  I spend my day with my patients managing treatment sessions and mainly trying to look like I know what I'm doing.  Then I drive home to see my little boy and husband's smiling faces and spend an hour with the three of us before Jer goes to school.  Then its just me and the little guy.  Soon its bedtime and we all go to sleep. Rinse and repeat.

As far as updates go... Caleb.  This little guy is on the move.  He was sitting up by Christmas (like I predicted) and a few weeks ago he figured out how to push himself back into sitting from his belly.  He spent the last month rolling on the floor to get to where he wants to go.  But this weekend *drumroll* my family taught him how to crawl.  He spent his 7 month birthday crawling around. Round 1 or Round 2 He's not very fast...yet.  But he will be in a few days.  We hear him giggling... and it's because he's getting to where he wants to go.  Its funny.  He doesn't roll around anymore, its like he's forgotten.  Or moved on to bigger things.  Rolling is so yesterday.  We've also started him on solids and he's slowly getting used to it.  He loved it at first then after a few days didn't care for it as much.  We started feeding him from pouches and he's starting to like it a little bit more.  We'll keep working on it.  He sure is such a happy little guy with a personality that makes me smile.  He can be such a mama's boy.  When I come home at night he kicks and kicks and he starts to 'ooh oooh'  Its like it makes his day to have me walk through the door. Then when I hold him he buries his head in my shoulder like he's giving me a hug.  It's very special for me.  But he is buddies with his Daddy.  They play together so much.  He really does have just a happy personality.  As long as he isn't tired or hungry and someone is smiling at him he is perfectly content.  And nothing makes him happier than to have both Mom and Dad home with him. I sure love him.

Jeremy is doing great.  He plays Mr. Mom in the days and goes to school and night.  I'm very proud of him and how well he's doing in school.  It's not easy trying to manage Caleb and do homework, and housework, and go to school.  But he tries his best.  Caleb is quite the wild card when it comes to making plans for the day and getting it done.

As for me... My days consist of work and taking care of Caleb at home.  Work goes well.  It's a good job and I enjoy taking care of people.  Some days are better than others.  Some patients challenge me and others make me laugh, and some I truly enjoy helping get better.  I miss my little boy and staying home with him, but its nice to know that Jeremy stays home with him.  Sometimes when I get up in the morning he wakes up before I leave and I love seeing him and his smiles before I leave. I miss it on the days he doesn't wake up.

In other news, we bought a new car.  It's a Suzuki Reno.  We got a good tax return this year and thought a good way to use it would be to replace Jeremy's car and have two reliable cars again.  My Saturn does well, but it seems to be feeling the wear and tear of being our main vehicle for the past two years.  I'd like to keep it longer but if we using it like we do it'll give out and then we'll be stuck with two unreliable vehicles.  I like the Reno.  It rides smooth and will be good for trips.  It's nice to have a good vehicle for both us again.  Jeremy really likes driving the Reno.  Hopefully sometime this summer we'll be able to take it out for a real spin and go on a road trip!

Well that's the quick summary.  So much more has happened but it would take too long to update and we've all got better things to do!
