One Month Old!

One month old already!  Our boy is getting so big!  He is a whopping 10 lbs. 6 oz. now.  He enjoys his "tummy time" and can hold his head up pretty well. 

He is a morning person, like his mama.  Our morning routine is to get up, eat, go for a 30 minute walk (with stroller).  Caleb absolutely loves being outside.  It really soothes him.  

After our walk, Caleb gets his bath.  He likes taking a bath. After his bath he loves laying on his changing table and talking/smiling.  My favorite time with him!!!  I can usually take the best pics when he's on his changing table.  Then we move to the floor where we talk some more while practicing our soccer kicks.

Is he not the cutest?!?!

Here is his 1 month picture. :)  Getting big!!

Sunday Morning Smiles

What a joy to wake up to this!! Caleb has been smiling a little here and there, but yesterday and today he's all smiles. These pictures were taken this morning. He is officially 4 weeks old today. He's getting so big. He really pays attention to you when you talk to him. His eyes can follow you when you walk across the room. He can hold his head up at a 90 degree angle for several seconds. The best part is the cooing. He is just starting to coo back at you. He is such a blessing!

3 Weeks!

Our little man is really growing. Don't know his exact weight but I'm sure he's over 9 if not 10 by now. He's getting the chubby cheeks and rolls in his legs. Yummy! I'm amazed at how well he lifts his head up and his arms and legs are SO strong. He smiled for the first time this week (other than when he's half way to dreamland). He's also starting to coo a little bit. I love it!

I adore the pictures of the boys here. Cameron got a great new haircut that really shows off how handsome he is. And isn't he the spitting image of Byron?! What a picture! Am I lucky or what!

2 Week picture

I know it's a few days late, but here's Caleb's 2 week old picture. My cousin, Chrissy, just had a baby in May and had a great idea. Take the baby's picture in the same spot with the same object each time to see how much the baby has grown. So this is his first pic. He is growing! He now weighs 8lbs 9 oz. Our first big outing (other than the doctor) was to Babies R Us on Sunday. Since I can't lift more than 10 lbs, Daddy went with us. Another day we went to Nana and Papa's (my mom and dad's). I was nervous riding in the car for 30 minutes without anyone in the back seat with Caleb, but we managed. He is holding his head up so well and his legs continue to get stronger and stronger. He is such a kicker that I can't put him in gowns to sleep in anymore because he ends up kicking it up. :) As you can tell by his pictures, he is very alert when awake and usually has a furrowed brow as if questioning everything he sees. If any of you have ever seen my baby pictures I'm sure you'll agree he has my eyes. I have quite a few funny pics of me! At least he has something from me! :)

Boxer or Soccer player?

This is Caleb after bath time. Hmm...looks more like a boxer than a soccer player, huh? :)

Our Little Man

I can't believe our little man is nearly 2 weeks old! He is getting bigger every day.  When we left the hospital he weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and now he weighs a whopping 8 lbs. 6 oz! He is obviously a good eater and thankfully a good sleeper, too! When is he awake he is bright eyed and full of curiosity, much like his big bro. He is calm and seems to be thinking about everything as he takes it all in, much like the last picture here.  By the way, the swirl in his hair is compliments of Cameron.  With Byron for his dad and Cameron for his brother, Caleb is destined to be the best dressed, most stylish baby around.  :)

Introducing...Caleb Kingston Triplett

And now the moment you've all been waiting for!! Pics of our angel, Caleb Kingston. He is officially one week old today. He arrived to us via c-section on Sunday, July 27, 2008 at 6:52 am. He weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz. and is 19 1/2 inches long. Although I had a rough week, Caleb has been an angel since he arrived. He eats well, sleeps well, and is such a joy. As you can see, he has a beautiful crop of black hair. He is a BIG kicker, much to his dad's pleasure. His legs are so strong-many of the nurses commented on how strong his legs are. He is also one of the most alert babies I've ever seen. He has big, beautiful eyes and loves to calmly take it all in. We came home from the hospital on Friday and he didn't skip a beat adjusting to his new surroundings. As you can see from the above photo, Cameron is a very proud big brother!! I still have a lot of healing to do-getting rid of the fluid in my lungs and the trying to get rid of the swelling caused by the transfusion. Thank you SO much for all the kind words of encouragement and prayers. I have certainly felt them. We will be up for visitors soon! We are incredibly blessed and can't wait to share him with you all!!
