Another month has flown by and I can barely keep up with everything that has happened and all of the ways that Caleb is developing. He continues to be such a joy in our daily lives with his sweet personality and adorable smiles. Caleb has continued to grow like a weed and is now 26 inches long (in other words, he has grown 2 inches in the past month and 5 inches total since being born). Our problem now is that he's just about filling out the 3-6 months clothes and sleepers in length but they swim on him around the stomach so it's difficult to find trousers that aren't highwaters but won't slip right off him. I don't know what we'll do if he continues to grow at this rate. We might have to special order clothes for long and skinny babies! :)

In the past month his list of first experiences has continued to grow, including (but not limited to): attending his first postnatal group; celebrating his first Halloween; attending his first Rhymetime at the library; visiting his first nursery (that he will be attending when I return to work); meeting Jenny, Geoff, Melinda, Mandi, Dustin, Kyle, and Shannon; drinking his first bottle; celebrating his first Thanksgiving; and seeing his first Christmas lights.

He's also learned to do so many things on his own, including: splashing in the bathtub; sleeping through the night (which he has been doing consistently for four weeks now); raising one eyebrow (so funny!); making spit bubbles; drooling; playing on his own without fussing; rolling his lips; grabbing toys; laughing at himself in the mirror; eating his hands; napping for up to 3 hours at a time in his crib on his own; and giving official cute little baby kisses (which may have started last month but I can't remember). He has received his second set of immunizations (and didn't cry this time!) and has been dressed up as a pumpkin, duck, thug, and Indian.

Today we will put up Caleb's first Christmas tree (he LOVES Christmas lights so this will be fun!) and his first stocking arrived today. What a three month celebration!
