Our friends Paul and Nikki gave birth to their first baby boy on the 28th. Little James Connor was born at 10:10 pm weighing 6 pounds 10 ounces and 21 inches long. Andy and I went to visit the family last night and I have to say, although Caleb is obviously the world’s cutest baby ;-), James comes in a close second. He is a beautiful baby and has a great temperament. Congratulations, Paul and Nikki, on your new addition!
I took up knitting the other day and made this hat.
Look at all that fuzz
Andy and I both forgot what it was like to hold a person so small.
Even though it’s been pretty finished for a few weeks, I’ll let everyone know on here if they don’t already. I finally have a “big girl” photography website. I’m still working on filling up the galleries and have to get pricing packages up. I also have to make a blog and will do that once the weather gets cooler where most of my clients have scheduled. Oh, and to all you locals, I’m still in search of newborns, maternity, teens and families. If you or someone you know falls into any of these categories, I will waive the session fee and you’ll get a free 8×10! Okay, enough advertising. Go check it out!
Caleb is 9 months old today. He’s doing a lot of growing these days. He spent quite a few nights waking up at random and crying, and we were curious why that was….but then Bri found the teeth. He’s cutting 4 new teeth bringing his grand total to 8 now. He’s also using those little teeth for lots of little finger foods, which has been fun to watch.
He’s cruising a little on furniture now, but mostly he’s crawling at a swift rate of speed, going wherever he wants to go whenever he wants to go there. This has brought the world of babyproofing to the forefront. From dog food bowls to tupperware cabinets, there’s alway something he wants to get in to. He’s everywhere. He’s also discovered how to point at objects. He loves pointing at new things and points to our mouth, cheeks and nose when Bri or I ask.
His 9 month check up is tomorrow so Bri will come back and post his 9 month stats when she returns.
***ETA***
We just got back from the doctor and Caleb looks nice and healthy. He’s in the 16% for weight (18.5 lbs) and 60% for height (28.5″). Apparently he has a crazy good memory because the second he saw the needles, he started crying and the moment they slapped the band-aid on him he stopped, knowing it was all over. Even the nurse was shocked that he remembered this from 3 months ago. Thankfully, we had no vaccines today, just a TB test, anemia test and the flu shot. He’s good to go until his one year check-up.
The past week, Caleb has become very independent. He used to stay right by me anywhere and would vehemently protest if I left him behind. Now he’s exploring every room and finding lots of fun things to get in to. He has also been fascinated with anything that swings. He has a particular affinity to our bedroom door. Here’s a short video I took a few days ago:
Been working for a few weeks now on the sale of my baby, MagMyPic.com (no not Caleb!) - It’s been progressing well despite my lack of integral business-sale-knowledge. Mag has been a blast but it’s also lacked the proper (full-time) attention it deserves to continue growing. I look forward to seeing what the new owner will do with the site to make it all it can be. It will be another month of pretty intense work to get this thing moved and working good under new ownership…wish me luck!
