The 4th Month

Can I just say that parenthood is the most amazing and rewarding time I have had my whole life. Cale is so much fun right now that I almost wish he would stay this age forever! He likes to play, talk, and laugh a lot, which makes me laugh a lot too. This month has flown by. Cale got his first cold. It was a day I hoped would never come, at least not this soon. We had a couple weeks of buggies, coughing, and lack of sleep. My poor little pumpkin even had milk coming out of his nose every time he ate for a few days due to the congestion. Brian said putting a picture of Cale with his buggers was not appropriate so you can enjoy some photos of his presick times.

Cale enjoys grasping toys and putting them in his mouth. His hands are a little less red now that they get a break from always being the target of his saliva.

Cale started to turn over from his stomach to his back just before he turned 3 months old. He pushes himself up really high, leans his head to the side, and the rest of him follows right over. The bottom picture is right after he rolled. he just looks at me like I am crazy because I get so excited and start clapping. He will do it 3 or four times a day a few days straight and then he will go a week or so without turning over at all. I'm not really sure how that works.

And I finally got the roll over on video...

This is Cale's saucer. He absolutely loves standing up so I put him in it a little early. He doesn't really play with the toys just yet but watches me play with them, which seems to amuse him.


Cale's Uncle David and DJ invited us to the Children's Museum. It was so cool. There were tons of things for kids to do and play with. Cale is still a little young to really get into much, but there was lots of colorful things for him to look at. The museum is a fantastic idea especially because it gets so hot here in the summer. It was like a huge playroom for kids. DJ had a really good time. There were kids everywhere playing and as David said, "The best part is that you don't have to clean up after" and I totally agree with that :0)
We got to hang out with family a lot this month! Here are some more fun pics of Cale's Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.

This is Cale's Aunt Cathy, Cousin Junior and Aunt Veronica (taking the picture.) Junior is so active. He loves to dance and run around. I can't wait until Cale is big enough to play with him.

Proud Dads

DJ is so adorable, and if you look at his mom, you can see why:) Cale's Uncle Patrick, (Junior's dad) is sitting right behind them.OK, here are some sick pics :( The bottom one is called I just woke up from a really long nap and I have no Idea what is going on. He often opens his eye really wide to take it all in. I am so glad my baby is feeling better now.

Cale's Grandma and Grandpa Keehn bought him this really cool lamp. It came in real handy during this month. When Cale would get fussy and tired and nothing else would console him, we would turn the lamp on and he was mesmerized.

1st Hair Cut

See the little toupee looking thing on the top of Cale's head...I was more than ready for this to go. Most of the hair he had from birth had rubbed off but this was the remaining patch, and boy was it getting long. After convincing Brian it was time, Cale had his first hair cut.

Here are a few before shots so you can appreciate the need for a cut. By the way, Cale is destined to have a mohawk. All of the hair on the top of his head grows straight up.

The Bumbo makes a perfect hair cutting seat for Cale

This is the post hair cut picture. Doesn't he look so nice :)

October Birthdays

There are a lot of October birthdays in our family. Cale's cousin DJ had a Halloween themed 1st birthday. Cale wore his scrubs so he could be a doctor like his daddy.

This is Cale's big cousin Junior. He was a trooper in his giraffe outfit. He was being a good cousin trying to help Cale sit up straight for their picture.


We got all the cousins together for a picture...Adrian, DJ, Junior, and Cale. As you can see Cale and Junior ditched their costumes by this point. DJ was still sporting his.Cale's Auntie Andrea also has an October birthday. We got together at Uncle Sam's Pizza to celebrate. DJ was eating a carrot and wanted to share with Cale. What a sweet little boy.
