Videos!

Josh is proving to be an awesome big brother (most of the time). :) Here are some videos to show you! This video is from the day we brought Caleb home.

And this is from yesterday.

Caleb is growing and changing every day. He is starting to get into a routine with when he wants to sleep and when he wants to play. Social hour comes at 5am, 1pm, and 4pm. He loves to talk and has recently found his "volume". If he wants your attention, he'll yell until you look at him. Otherwise, the smiles are plentiful and it looks like he'll be as quick to smile and giggle as his brother is!

Josh is doing great in therapy, and has recently discovered that he can sniper crawl/commando crawl to anywhere he wants to go. He's gotten quicker and quicker and will follow us around the house if left on his own. It's awesome to see!

That's all I have time for now...it's social time with Caleb. :) Love you all!

Caleb...part 2

Ben was finally able to take some time off this week, so we've been spending lots of time at home with our little family...
and Joshua has been spending lots of time kissing his brother.

I haven't had time to do a full out "photo shoot" with Caleb, but I've managed to grab a few cute ones...
(oh my goodness...these toes! I could just eat them up!) (Caleb does not approve of me eating up his toes apparently.)


When Caleb isn't sleeping on me or in between daddy & mommy in their bed, he likes to sleep on his side....in our bed. He won't sleep in his bed for more than 20 minutes and he'll only sleep in the swing during the day. He doesn't like it when the room is totally dark and will wake from a sound sleep to complain about it. I guess you could say that he's pretty particular when it comes to sleep...just like his brother. He is a good sleeper (once he goes to sleep) though, waking every 3 hours to eat at night. His "witching hour" lasts from 8pm to around 10:30pm usually and tires mommy & daddy out. Thankfully, Joshua is sleeping through the night still so once Caleb goes down we can all sleep. I just keep holding out hope that someday Ben and I will be able to sleep for more than a 2 hour stretch. :)

We've also been out and about a good deal! We went to Brown's Berry Patch last weekend to drive a tractor...
...and took our very first picture of the whole family! Can you believe it took three weeks to get one?! We also took a hayride around the farm...
...which Josh throughly enjoyed!We also went for a drive down to Letchworth State Park. It was kind of chilly and drab, and both boys had their miserable times, but it was great to get out and see some of the early fall colors.

In totally not Caleb related news, Joshua is trying out a new walker! Check this thing out! It's like a race car! I love it. :) It moves when Josh even thinks about walking and it's super easy to swivel. I can't wait to see him doing this on his own!! Want to see it in action? Ok...here you go!


So now that you're all caught up on what we've been up to, I'll sign off for now. :) Talk to you soon (hopefully)!
