caleb grey | three months!

Untitled-3
Something surprising happened last week. I feel like I blinked my eyes, and suddenly Caleb was three months old! All at once, I feel like he's been a part of our family forever, and I also can't believe that three months have gone by. These past three months have passed (somewhat) in a haze as Caleb has learned and then quickly forgotten how to sleep through the night! But I don't really mind... because after I figure out who I am and why I've been woken up, I enjoy those quiet early morning moments. It's the only quiet time I have just with him. And I love it.

I can already see traits in Caleb that make me smile. He is very laid back (this may be in response to his crazy older sister) and he smiles easily. He also likes the sound of music and doesn't mind when Maggie presses her face up into his in order to "explain" something to him. He's a joy. Here are a few shots that I grabbed of him over the past week. It's hard to get a shot of him smiling when Tim isn't around... mostly because I think he's confused by my camera! But I was luckily able to get a few...

This hat was a Valentine's present from my dear friend Nichole. (She made one for Maggie that's equally as adorable!) Cute.

I had to include this one because it makes me smile. He was grinning a split second before this was taken, but his expression quickly changed when I pulled the camera to my face. I like imagining what he's thinking...

Love you, buddy.

The hat looks great on him, so glad it fits:) I have a whole book of hat patterns so I'll have to get to work and make them some more. Let's get together again soon so I can see your adorable kids.
