Four months already!

Wow, when you're in the newborn months they seem to be going so slow but then you look back and say, "When did my tiny baby suddenly become 20 pounds!?" (yes, I did say 20.) I went to the doctor on Tuesday and Caleb officially weighed in at 21 pounds 5 ounces. I swear I can hardly carry him in his carseat these days. He's changed a lot since he was born (mainly in size) but also in personality. I liked it when he slept 20 hours a day! I used to think, "How will I handle him and Gabe when he doesn't sleep all day!" The answer is - chaos. No, not always but there are definitely moments when I say, "2 kids is enough."

Example: A few days ago Caleb had just woken up and was screaming. Gabe has a way of always needing attention at the worst times. So I hear Gabe yelling, "Mama! Help!" from the living room. He's been doing the little boy who cried wolf thing lately so I didn't run too fast. But then when he got more frantic, I saw he had stuck his foot into his Little Tykes train mountain thing, into one of the caves that is about 3 inches high by 2.5 inches wide and it had gotten stuck! I finally laid down screaming Caleb and was pulling with both hands to try and dislodge it while Gabe's going, "Oww! Help!" I seriously had to stop for a second and just laugh. It was either that or cry with them.

Anyway, back to Caleb. He usually wakes up around 7, sleeps about an hour in the morning (9 to 10?) and then goes back to sleep around 12:30 till sometimes 3:00. (I then force Gabe to take a nap at 1:00 as well so I can get an hour or two of sanity.)
He sleeps pretty well at night. Usually wakes up once around 3:00 and that's all. I know he has the weight to sleep through the night so maybe I will start letting him cry a little. I hate to do that though if we're going to be moving soon. For those of you who didn't know, we have an offer in another house. We'll keep you posted. So anyways, what else. Caleb has a much more easygoing personality than Gabe ever did. He's pretty easy to make smile. He laughed for the first time about a week ago. His pet peeves are when I wash under his neck in the bathtub and when I put his arms through his shirts. He falls asleep to Thomas the Tank (so do I) and me walking around with him on my shoulder and his pacifier. He's been pretty low maintenance. Definitely compared to what Gabe was. Here is a picture of him at one month and now. Definitely balder and fatter! Hopefully his real hair will start to come in now!

Hope you are all doing well!
