I was at Barnes and Noble with Caleb talking to the Nook sales associate. She looked at Caleb and said, “Oh my goodness! Look at your long, thick eyelashes! You are going to be so pretty when you grow up!” Caleb furrowed his brow and said, “No! I AM A BOY!” Hilarious.
Jack went to the doctor today. He got an oral vaccine and two shots. Here are his stats: Weight: 14 Pounds (29th percentile) Length: 24.7″ (39th percentile) Head: 16.25″ (24th percentile) If you’d like, you can compare him to Caleb. Caleb was almost two pounds heavier and had almost the exact same length and head Read More
Caleb approached a girl at the library and said, “Hi, my name is Caleb, who are you?” Her mom said that her name was Micayla. Caleb said, “Oh, hi Micayla. I like books. I like the big horned owl. He goes hoo! hoo! Hoo-hoo-hoo hoo!” She looked at him strangely. Then he said, “Bye! See Read More

Jack has learned to stick out his tongue when I ask him to and loves listening to the La La La Song. He’s 2 1/2 months old here. And, I think, very very sweet. (February 24, 2010)
