5 months

Where oh where has the time gone? Just 5 short months ago, Cal was merely hours old, 6 lbs 8 oz, 19 inches long. He was little but mighty! Oh what a difference 5 months makes. He’s now weighing in close to 15 lbs and somewhere around 26 inches. Cal jabbers, rolls, screams, kicks, laughs, cuddles, grabs, eats like a horse and sleeps like, well, a baby. Cal has a long list of things he loves but here’s just a few:

• Being outside with the sounds of rustling leaves and car horns
• Big kids, preferably in the 2-5 age range
• Playing airplane with Daddy
• Noisy restaurants. He’s quite the people watcher/charmer.
• The Wizard of Oz munchkin scene. This is one of the few things Mommy has let him watch on TV and he was enamored.
• His Magic Seahorse
• Not wearing clothes
• Having jibber jabber conversations with Mommy on her big, comfy bed.

It’s really hard to wrap my head around the fact that he’s only been in our lives for 5 months. It feels like forever and it feels like it’s only been minutes. The love that you have for your child is no joke.
