Christmas 2008

Caleb and Beckett had a quiet Christmas with Mom, Dad, and Grandma from Texas. Gift highlights were a train set (from Santa for Caleb), a big red wagon (for both boys from Grandma), and books (for both from Mom and Dad). Merry Christmas to everyone!

Early Christmas

Enjoying an early Christmas with Nani, Grandad, and Granny...

Decorating cookies

Caleb very much enjoyed decorating (and eating) Christmas cookies this year. I hope to make this a tradition. We'll see how it goes with two next year!

Bathtime II

Beckett's turn. I can't wait until they can take baths together!

Bathtime

Just a typical bath for Caleb.

Beckett and Santa

Beckett had a visit with Santa Claus today. Not sure what he told him to bring him for Christmas. Caleb decided he didn't want to have anything to do with Santa--can't say I blame him.

Getting ready for the holidays

Finally got some pics for the Christmas cards, shopping is done, tree is up, presents wrapped. I would say we're just about ready to enjoy December.

Edited to add Beckett's 2 month stats--at his 2 month appointment he weighed 13lbs 10oz (95th percentile) and was 25" long (also 95th percentile). Big boy!





Not sure what he was so upset about.






Here's our Christmas card.

Caleb getting older

I can't believe he is almost 2...trying to get some pictures today for Christmas cards and these were the best...will try for better tomorrow.

Thanksgiving 2008

Beckett and Caleb spent Thanksgiving with Nonny, Granddad, Granny, Tia Stephanie, Uncle Mike and cousin Matthew. They had a great time and Caleb loved having all of the playmates. I tried to get pictures of the boys together but its hard to get them both to sit still and look at me at the same time. Not sure how I'm going to do xmas cards.





Poor Caleb has such dry cheeks in the winter.



Reading with Granny.

8 weeks old

Here's Beckett playing in his gymini, a day shy of 8 weeks old.



For comparison, here's Caleb playing in the same gymini at about the same age.



Beckett trying to roll over.



Time to break out the size 6 month clothes--this outfit is size 3 months and is not supposed to be shorts!

New expanded photo website

I've set up a website with shutterfly.com where I'll upload more pictures than I do here (calebandbeckett.shutterfly.com). This will also hopefully make it easier for people to order any prints of pictures that they like. I'll still use this blog for updates and videos and pics--the other site is more like a catalog for the pictures that I take of the boys.I'll post pictures there by the month. I'm working backwards and will hopefully have all of the pictures uploaded back through January 2007 very soon.

Smiling and 1 month stats

I forgot to post Beckett's 1 month stats when we got them (he is 6 weeks old today). So, two weeks ago he weighed 10 lbs 4 oz and was 23 inches long. I think his length was about the 95th percentile and weight was around 75th percentile. He is doing great--very much likes his sleep and to snuggle. Quite the opposite of his brother. He is smiling often now (when he is awake, which still isn't for very long) but still not cooing too much. Here he is this morning.

What a difference a haircut makes...

I think the haircut makes him look older!

Happy Halloween!

Caleb didn't have a costume this year, just too much going on. However, here he is in his halloween t-shirt enjoying the pumpkins.
