On to our next celebration! Since Justin, Caleb and I were headed to Chicago for Christmas, we decided to open the majority of our presents to each other while we were still home in Pleasant Grove. So our little family's Christmas celebration was on December 20th. We had a little family home evening first then we had Caleb open his presents (with much help) then go to bed. Then Justin and I opened our presents.
We were all definitely spoiled this Christmas! Caleb racked up on toys, which he was desperately in need of. He also got a bounce-a-bout that he loved, from Gma & Gpa Blackham and an awesome Chicco high chair from Nana and Pawpaw Froneberger.
I love our little family! Oh and as a side note, Caleb also had his 6 month check up on December 20th. He is a little guy, weight-wise at least, weighing in at 15 lbs and 26.5" tall. He was a trooper once again with the shots. He is now eating mixed fruit oatmeal for breakfast and a fruit or veggie for dinner (with rice cereal afterwards if still hungry). Because he doesn't seem to be packing on the chub from my low-fat milk, I have started supplementing a bottle of formula at noon in between naps. I have also increased the times I nurse. We are hoping to see a big gain by his 9 month check up! He is still only moving around on his back and doesn't enjoy tummy time for very long. He babbles/silently yells (I know it sounds weird but that is the best way to describe it) constantly. He loves to touch everything in sight, which means everything in sight gets lovely slobber marks on it since his hands stay in his mouth 99.9% of the time still. Doc said he was teething but I can't feel any teeth buds just yet. He still smiles very easily and is such a joy to have around! And I should note that our sweet boy has developed the most mellow personality. He is very easy-going and rarely cries anymore except for things he really needs (nursing, sleep). But for the most part he is even very patient when needing those things. I am grateful that he seems to inherited Justin's easy-going personality!
