Since it's been a while...

I know it's been a while, so here is an update:

We are expecting a little girl next March! We are so excited that Caelum will have a little sister so close in age and, of course, I am so excited to be able to buy a bunch of pink :)

Eric has been working alot and I am home with Caelum. We spent alot of time at home for the first few months and now we do lots of things during the week. We:

Go to swimming lessons
Gymboree














Story time at the library


We also have playdates and
try to just get out of the house. I think it's good for Caelum to be able to
interact with other little babies and for me to not be stuck at home.

Caelum is almost 8 months old (I can't believe this!) and is about 20 lbs.





He grew out of his infant seat (based on comfort, not stats), so he now has a big boy carseat:






















He is crawling and getting into everything, so we have an are of the living room set up as "Caelum Zone"- but, most of the time he is pretty much allowed to roam around.
























Caelum really likes:
Playing with his toys, esp
ecially if they light
up or make noise
All sorts of things we have to take away (dog bowls, wii remotes, wires, cat and dog toys, shoes)
People's feet
Playing with Paper
Flying and Being "dropped" on the bed
Trying new foods
Crawling around
Pulling up on anything steady enough to let him
Playing with Fenway
Books and Blocks
His time with his daddy in the morning
Going to bed
Bath time/ Splashing in the water with his duck
Silly songs and noises
Being lifted in the air
Towels
Paper
Playing with balls
Looking under rugs
Straws

Caelum tolerates:
Falling over/down
Me cutting his nails
Getting into his carseat
Taking naps

Caelum doesn't like:
Waiting on his bottle
Being told "no"
Being woken up (I RARELY do this, but he is not happy when I do)
Loud or sudden noise- he has a really sensitive startle reflex
Pulling up to stand on something and then not knowing how to get down
Swim lessons


It's so crazy how fast things change- we have already packed up the swing,
playmat, and bouncy seat- when just 3 or 4 months ago they were some of h
is favorite things. He can choose which toys he wants out of his toy basket and roam around if he doesn't want to be in one place.

Some other fun things we have done lately:

his first 5k














Baby Dedication














Taken Caelum to meet a bunch of family
