First time swimming at the PEABODY in Memphis.

Good morning to my two favorite men!

4 Month Dr. Visit.

2009-01-19T10:50:00.000-08:00

We went to the doctor and Cale is perfect. His stats were still above average and he is moving and gooing ahead of time! He got two shots and handled them like a champ. After we left the office he was a little moody from the shots and he went home and got to spend the rest of the day with hid daddy. He in the 97th percentile altogether but here is his individual stats.

Weight: 18 pounds 4.2 ounces = 91.81%
Head Circumference: 17 = 65.50%
Length: 27.5 inches = 97.85%

SCRUNCHING.

2009-01-19T10:32:00.000-08:00

Besides Cale getting everything from his daddy, he also inherited his scrunching of the brows. He does this all the time and it is the cutest thing ever. He'll just look at you so seriously and scrunch them like "what are you looking at?". He is just a perfect replica of his father, even in the facial expressions department.

NAP TIME - I don't think so says Cale.

2009-01-15T09:14:00.000-08:00

We were watching a movie while Cale was taking a nap and we looked at the monitor and there was our baby boy, staring at us through the camera. It was hilarious. He just kept starring and i went into his room and snuck around his bed with the camera and caught him starring at his pacey. It was like he wanted to pick it up but couldn't figure out how to do it. Then after about a minute of contemplating he looked around again and saw me and that's when he started cracking up. He just wouldn't stop laughing. It was great!

FIRST TIME EATING CEREAL..

YAAWWWWWWWWWNNNNN!!!

2009-01-09T09:49:00.000-08:00

I just randomly took a picture of him and I got this as a result. He was yawning as you can see. I thought it was the funniest face ever. He looks hilarious.

Go to bed squirt.

2009-01-09T09:43:00.000-08:00

This is one of my favorite things Cale does. He'll take his afternoon naps and i'll randomly walk in to get something and see his big eyes popping out of his bassinet. I think you have to be there to see how funny it is. It's like he wakes up and just pops that head of his out and peeks around to find us. I had to take a picture of it!

Look who arrived FEDEX!!

CALE ROLLED OVER!!

2008-12-11T09:11:00.000-08:00

He offically rolled over last night when we were at Kasey's house. The boys were playing on their bellies and when I turned around to get my camera he was on his back. I was freaking out and immediately put him back on his belly to see if he would do it again and this time I had my camera ready to go. Low and behold he was back on his belly in 5 seconds. We had been practicing with him ever since he could hold his head up at 90° which was about a week ago, we definitly weren't expecting him to be able to at three months, but he never ceases to amaze us. Ty was so bummed he missed it but when we got home he did it once again for daddy while he was studying for his finals. Cale is still the prettiest baby I have ever seen and still amazes everyone with his beauty, size, and strength. He is weighing in at 20 pounds now and is 27 inches long (from our at home measurments).

There are pictures on the album below of him rollling over and more of him and Taylor playing around. Once again I took more pictures than I could upload on here so I am going to just post the link to the album from my facebook. Just click the link and it takes you directly to the album.

Great Grandma Gann and Great Grandpa Gann came up to visit and took us to brunch. It was great being able to see them and let them meet little Cale.
Next Great Grandma Worley came by and brought little man lots of gifts. She tends to spoil him with clothes and toys. It was great seeing her and again letting her meet Cale.

He's growing so fast.

Cale and Taylor.

2008-11-09T06:37:00.000-08:00

Cale and I went to visit Kasey and her baby, Taylor, in Sherwood on Saturday. Kasey was my best friend from highschool and still my best friend. Her little man was born two months prior to Cale and it couldn't have worked out more perfect. They are going to be the best of friends when they get older. They are so cute together! Taylor is starting to roll around on the floor and anytime he see's his beautiful mommy he starts giggling and getting so excited. We watched football all day and went for a walk to the park.

HALLOWEEN 2008.

2008-11-01T17:25:00.000-07:00

Cale was a duck for his first Halloween and despite his father hating the costume (not manly enough), everyone thought it was adorable. We went to my brother's football game and out to eat that night with the family. Everyone got a huge kick out of his outfit and most people actually thought he was a chicken or big bird. He was the cutest little boy in town and I wish we would have entered him in a costume contest because I know he woud have won! It was a great night al together.

8 WEEKS OLD!!

2008-10-30T18:36:00.000-07:00

My baby is getting so big so quickly. Although he's the size of most 4 month old babies, he is still such a little man to me. He's has outgrown all newborn clothing and pretty much did on his 5th week. He's already wearing most 3 to 6 months clothes. He is so amazing and the greatest thing on in this world!

ZzZzZ....

Mommy play time.

2008-10-23T18:16:00.001-07:00

Big boy and momma showing how big he is. He still has bandaids on his thighs where his shots were. He was a little irratable because of the shots and was just hanging out but not in to happy of a mood!

Doctor's visit.

2008-10-23T15:36:00.000-07:00

We went to the doctor's office today and got Cale his two month shots and he got weighed and measured. As you can see he is above average on his size. Not like we didn't already assume that! He did alot better with the shots than we assumed. He only cried while they poked him and then daddy picked him up and he stopped. I, of course, started crying when he started crying after the four shots. He's such a big boy! Mommy and Daddy were proud.

Weight: 13.14 pounds = 95.9%
Head circumference: 15.5 inches = 44.4%
Length: 25.25 inches = 99.3%

SMILING!!

2008-10-22T19:09:00.001-07:00

Cale's started smiling and giggling at 6 weeks and can't seem to stop. He giggles anytime you tickle his lips with his pacey. He is one happy little baby!

My beautiful sister-in-law had a baby shower this month and she is due at the beginning of December. I can not wait to see their baby girl, Bella. We're going down there over Christmas break and the two cousins will be able to meet each other for the first time along with the rest of the family. I was bummed we couldn't be there for the shower but here are a couple of her picuters. She looks ravishing!

Weekend in Bentonville.

2008-10-07T10:27:00.000-07:00

We had such a great weekend visiting Tyler's family up in Bentonville. We watched football all weekend and went out to eat at Shogun's (sushi place) with Tyler's parent's and their best friends and Tyler's best friend and his girlfriend. Cale got to meet everyone and spend time with his grandparent's and Aunt Ashtyn. It was such a fun weekend!

Bath Time.

2008-09-28T16:36:00.000-07:00

Cale's first bath in the sink! The entire time he just kicked and splashed around. He absolutely loves the water and fits perfectly in the sink.

Sunbathing.

2008-09-25T16:07:00.000-07:00

Little Cale had juandice and in order to get rid of it we had to put him in the sun for about 30 minutes each morning. He didn't like it so much being that he had just woken up, but we did get rid of it eventually!

Cale photoshoot.

2008-09-25T15:55:00.000-07:00

We went to Noni's to take some pictures of baby Cale and they turned out AMAZING! After at least 300 pictures and struggling to get Cale to cooperate, we got what we needed. We only liked about 20 of them, but those 20 were perfect. Cale poopied twice on Noni's bed and once all over me in my white gown during the shoot. It was hilarious! I now understand why infant photographers charge so much, it is really difficult.

Labor Day

2008-09-03T12:00:00.000-07:00

It was great timing to have Cale the day before a holiday. Most of the family came to see him on Labor Day and we were all greatful for the timing.

CALE ARRIVES!!

2008-09-03T08:24:00.000-07:00

On August 31, 2008, Cale Brooks swept us with his grace and beauty. The day prior to that, Saturday, my mom and I were doing some last minute shopping for him because my due date was that Tuesday, September 2, 2008 and we knew soon after that they would induce and we wanted to have everything ready. We were in the Toggery and I started to have some mild back pain, I just thought nothing of it thinking all pregnant women have back pain maybe mine is just now arriving on week 40, LUCKY ME! On the way home it started getting more and more intense and while we were crossing the river bridge I felt a contraction. WOW those things hurt! We got back to my apartment and I told Tyler I thought I was going into labor and then WOW another one of those contractions arrived as soon as I told him. We waited until they were four minutes apart and then headed to the hospital. By the time I arrived and got into my room the contractions were getting worse. I had dialated to 4 cm and boy oh boy I was ready for that epidural. As most of you know I was for sure on having him all natural, no pain medications whatsoever. But soon after the contractions my mind changed real quick. After the epidural everything started slowing down, including the labor. At about 2:00 a.m on August 31, 2008, I had fully dialated and the pushing began. After 2 hours of non-stop pushing, throwing up, and crying, baby Cale arrived. He weighed 9 pounds and 2 ounces and was the most pure, perfect thing I had ever seen. My own little Buddha!
