A message from the Bub


Caleb sure has a lot to say!
He is getting so strong and if you just hold his hips he can stand up on his own!

His sleeping lately is all over the map. He's waking every 2 or so hours at night, and not napping very well during the day. There is so much change going on in his little brain right now as he's getting smarter! Today we were able to take a two hour nap together, which was very much needed for me! The wonderful thing is that he is just as happy as can be! Always talking and laughing and smiling. We couldn't be happier! As i'm writing this, he's just sitting contently on my lap watching the screen!

Matthew is working a lot lately in the maintenance shop and flying at Corporate Air Center and also doing some side jobs as well to earn extra money to put towards our student loans. He's teaching flight lessons and also making shelves for a friends' company Old Door.  http://www.olddoorco.com/  let us know if you are interested in ordering a shelf! He loves being a Da Da and is working relentlessly to have "DaDa" be Caleb's first word! It's such a joy to see Matthew's confidence as a father increasing and the their relationship flourish!  i just talked to him and he flew into Seattle in a snow storm with very low visibility and had to "follow the coast line in to land." What a life he leads, all while Caleb and i are safe at  home!

I put Caleb into the nursery for the first time with "strangers" at BSF (bible study fellowship) a few weeks ago and he did great!the ladies said they had missed im the week before when i decided to keep him and when i left they were debating over who would hold him. he was cooing and smiling at them and  it made me feel very good! i didnt know how hard it would be to leave him! but i think i'll do it again.

not quite bouncing yet...but still having fun!

You want me to what in here?


So cute!Thanks Allison and Greg for the bouncer. Caleb isn't sure exactly what he's supposed to be doing in it, but he seems to be enjoying being upright. We had to prop some thick books like Chemistry and Biology books under him so he could have something for his legs to push up off of, and finally settled on a very large Scrabble game because his little legs can't reach the ground yet. lol. He is getting so strong though, when he's on his tummy he can more forward quite a few inches! 

Laughing with Kellie and Daddy!

3 Months old!!!


We got Caleb an Amber necklace from "Inspired By Finn" to help 
with teething pain. The acid from the amber gets absorbed into the skin
and is supposed to help with the pain. Check it out. And besides, it's stinkin' cute!

The Bub's got this no questions asked. Lol. We just got a bouncer from our friend Allison so he can work out and he's loving it so far. This picture is from a play date at Betsy's house.
loving it so far.

Hangin' out with mom! Big Boy overalls! he is rapidly growing out of his clothes! I know that
the cloth diapers give some extra padding, but this boy is growing! I'll be excited to find out
how much he weighs at his 4 month check up next month. We use Ka Waii diapers from 
theluvyourbaby.com website. They are very affordable and honestly not a lot of work. I use the pocket diapers that are one size. They should "grow" with him, (they have snaps that adjust) and he'll wear then till
he's potty trained. Did you know that a disposable diaper takes up to 500 years to decompose? Yikes!

I love to bounce on Daddy!

Getting loong! Just hangin out while mom gets ready for us to go on a walk!

Oh man, that smile is the best thing in the world!

Da-Da's eyes!
I hope that you are all doing well. I would love to hear from you on facebook or email! Or the old fashion way, via. the phone!  carebear_018@hotmail.com  360-393-0562

Love,

Sleeping through the night

Caleb is doing so great at night! sleeping 8 and 9 hours some nights and at least 5 and 6 others! it is wonderful. He's grabbing with his hands more and more and has been enjoying sucking on them too!  He's such a good boy, and lets me know when he's not happy and what he needs.

Today we visited Da Da at work and we got to see what he does all day! Caleb recently had a visit with Uncle Zach from New York! Grandma Luksic from Pasco, Uncle Daniel and Kyla from Seattle and many visits from Grandpa Steve!

He is a very well loved baby! Caleb enjoys getting his diaper changed and stretches when he's naked! He has thunder thighs and loves to stand up and bounce.! He likes to bounce, but be careful because he likes to slip the tongue, although i explained that he needs to save that for his wife!
