Just wanted to share a video update of some run Caleb moments recently. The video has some clips of jumping in the Merry Muscle Bouncer, his first eating of rice cereal and some other super cute moments. Enjoy.
Children’s Music: Renee & Jeremy
A few weeks ago, Rainn Wilson (also known as Dwight from the Office) tweeted about some children’s music by Renee & Jeremy. I wasn’t familiar with them (hell, I’m not really very familiar with a lot of children’s music), but I decided to give them a try. After listening to a few of them, I […]
Babysitters are Crazy
We’ve been blessed to have wonderful neighbors and folks from our church who have helped us out and volunteered to watch Caleb for us over the past couple months. It’s been a really huge gift. But it eventually became clear to us (well, to my wife….and I finally listened) that it would be even better […]
Caleb’s Baptism
Last Sunday was Caleb’s baptism. Both my parents and Sarah’s parents were able to be here for the occasion, and it was really wonderful. It was his first time in church, and he did very well. Thankfully, my colleague put the baptism toward the beginning of the service, so he didn’t have to wait too […]
Caleb Discovers his Vocal Chords
Yesterday was hilarious. Well, two days ago Caleb began making some louder noises than usual. We’ve been able to get him laughing recently (it’s this hilarious guttural laugh that I have yet to get a really good video of) but these were just sounds he was making on his own. Two nights ago, his noises were […]
A Different Baby at Night
I think we were getting spoiled for awhile by the fact that Caleb was sleeping through the night for a few weeks. It was pretty awesome. Put him down around 6-7pm, and then he wouldn’t wake up until around 6-7am. Really, really awesome. Sarah and I both got an evening to do what we wanted, […]
Using The Fray’s “Be Still” as a Lullaby
The past week has been a bit of a killer when it comes to trying to get Caleb to sleep…last night I put him down three times (and he was asleep all three times), only to have him wake up again about 10 minutes later. Which is a total. Bummer. I’ve never been good with […]
Getting @Honest about Diapers
Alright. So, it’s time to get honest about diapers. Sarah and I had thought a lot about diapers before Caleb came along…I asked for advice here on this blog and on Facebook & Twitter, and Sarah did a TON of research into all the available options when it came to disposables/cloth/hybrids/etc. We eventually settled on […]
“Caleb! Stop it right now!”
We’re pretty used to Caleb sleeping through the night, so when he doesn’t…it always feels like a major bummer. Like the world is against us. Although, I know that we are incredibly lucky that he’s been sleeping through the night at such a young age. Last night he went down like normal, I got home, […]
How to Organize Baby Photos
So I’m normally pretty good at keeping things organized on my computer. Files are in appropriate folders, email Inbox is normally kept down to 0 messages (gotta love the Inbox Zero method) and everything is just where I want it. Ever since I started taking a lot more photos in the past few years (especially […]
