I KNEW he was eating a lot!

Well, kiddos, Caleb had his second pediatrician appointment this morning, and by golly is he growing! From 7lbs, 3 oz on Monday he's already up to 7lbs, 12 oz! Plus he has a feeding blister on his upper lip from eating so darn much! The feeding blister combined with the gross belly button getting ready to fall off are the only two things that I've really been worried about. (His umbilical cord is hanging on by a teeny tiny tendon-y thing, and it's freaking me out!)

Not too much else is new. Caleb and I went to visit Jonathan at work this afternoon, and everyone seemed fairly impressed with the boy ~ even though he just slept through the whole visit. (He IS cute when he sleeps though!)

I'm obsessed with this little man. No wonder they let me have six weeks off to take care of him: I would be driving my co-workers INSANE not being able to talk about anything else! As it is, I don't think I drive anyone else crazy. Jonathan says he doesn't mind me talking about Caleb non-stop when he comes home from work; the grandparents certainly don't mind; and I haven't been calling anyone else to drive them crazy (I don't think!). My thinking is this: if someone calls me to find out how he's doing, they're just opening the door for me to rave about him! Their fault, not mine!

Grandma Sue is on her way to see him right now! She will arrive tomorrow, and Grandpa Earl will come out next weekend. Great Grandma Ruth is coming up tomorrow to meet him as well. I'm so excited to get him introduced to the whole family! The rest of the Monroes, Sinleys, Johnsons, Garmanes and Fashbaughs will just have to hold onto their horses!

So excited to take him to church! I could always tell he was enjoying praise and worship when he was in my tummy, so I'll be interested to see how he does now. The acoustics at our new building aren't so harsh on little ones. Glad we got moved into the new place before his ears were clear of fluid!
