We had a relaxing but busy first week at home! We are adjusting well to our new life with Caleb and we are getting the hang of things better each day. Nathan is a great daddy and he has been so helpful with Caleb. We make a good team with the round the clock schedule, and I am very thankful for my sweet husband.
Caleb got to meet a lot of people this week. Grandpa Mark and Grandma Betty stayed with us until Monday morning and they got a lot of Caleb loving time. Over the weekend Jessica; Paul, Sue and Kelsey; and Justin, Tara, Mackenzie, Delaney, and Zoey came over to meet Caleb. During the week Tara came back for round two with her sister Mary and mom Peg, and we met up with their families again for ice cream on Sunday evening.
On Wednesday we took Caleb back to the pediatrician for a weight check. On Monday he weighed 5lbs and by Wednesday's appointment he gained 9 oz in 2 days! We look forward to seeing what he weighs at his two week appointment. It was a really nice day so after the doctor we stopped at Long Park for a picnic to enjoy being outside for a while, then we went to Carmax to sell my car because it died while we were in the hospital. On Friday we went back to the dealer and got a car. He was a trooper this week!
We have had a fun week getting to know Caleb. While he just eats, sleeps, poops (a lot), and looks around at us, Twix, and his toys, we are enjoying watching him change and become more alert each day. He makes so many cute faces and we just wonder what goes through his mind -:).

Hi Caleb!!! You are too cute. I can't wait to snuggle with you :) Twix is pretty cute here too! Sorry your car died! - love Aunt Merce
Caleb is more bright and opened eyed in every new picture that we see. I know what Caleb is thinking: "hold me, feed me, change me, love you dad and mom". Love, Dad and Mom P.
LOVING all the pictures! Ya'll are amazing parents I'm sure - lucky little Caleb!
Wonder what Twix is thinking too? Glad week 1 went well, it only gets better:)
