Growing too Fast


My baby boy, Caleb turned 5 yesterday!

Where has the time gone??? Here are some of my favorite things about Caleb. I could go on & on about him, but I will spare you the super long post!!

*He has such a tender, sensitive spirit.*

*His smile*

*The way he says "By mom, I love you" as many times as he can before the garage door hits the floor. Also, every time I drop him off for shcool he makes sure he says "I love you" at least twice...it melts my heart!

*How he loves babies and is a great help with Brody*

*How he always is in a good mood when he wakes up in the morning, at the exact same time, every day*

*The way he welcomes me with a big hug when I get home as if I was a movie star*

Its amazing how much a child can change your life. Caleb has forever changed mine.....to many more years to come!!

Caleb is such a sweetheart! He is so cute with all the babies! I can't believe he is 5. Hey are those the photos that I scanned for you? They look good- they looked crapy on my computer when I scanned them.

Happy Birthday Caleb!!!! It seems like we were just visiting you when you came home with him (which was like 2 months later since you didn't tell us)! But he is just so stinkin cute....just like his mama and his papa! J/k about you not telling us, like we want to have hords of people at our house after we have a baby.

I can't believe he is already 5!! I love that he is so sweet. Okay and I totally agree with Amber. We didn't even know you had him and all of a sudden we find out you were home and it had been awhile. You better let us help when your adorable little girl arrives.

I am due Sept. 9th! I hope that it is a boy too! But if we get a girl that is fine too.

About my layout. I look for paper and have my friend do it. I have been told how to do it but I haven't done it myself yet. She uses Photoshop to make my header!

Katie, you have such an adorable family!! I can't believe that you are having a girl...I was seriously SO excited for you guys when I found out!!!Hope you are feeling well and getting more sleep. I felt so bad for you when I saw your post about not getting any sleep. Hopefully the nights are going better:)

What a sweet boy and look at the adorable face...he is just precious! Ok, we need to get together with Brooke, Briene, you, and me because we all have boys the same age! Caleb and Jerron are the same age, and Brody and Bentley are also...it would be fun, we should plan soon :)

WOW- 5 years old? Crazy- I love how you said that he says I love you as many times as he can before the garage door closes. and how he says bye i love you. Coltin does the same thing. So cute and fun. Gotta love our precious boys. My coltin will be 4 in june. i cant believe it. hope he had a great birthday

Caleb is such a handsome little guy. So, I remembered an earlier bolg about your Brody not sleeping through the night and I have been going through the exact same thing for the past two weeks with my Brody. I read some advice people put on there and I am going to have to actually follow what the Baby Wise book says. (Fingers crossed) Glad everythig worked out for you in the end. Let's see how it does for me:)
