Visiting the GREAT grandparents

Cal made a trip today (Sunday) out to Croasdaile to visit his Great Grandparents. I am so glad we took him out there. They were pretty smitten with him!

4 generations: Cal, Carrie, Carol, and Grandpa Bruce!

His momma is a shoe lover!

Our good friends the Fitch's gave Cal a little gift. We had to put them on him immediately because we don't know how long they will fit:It's kind of hard to see, but they are white shoes with his monogram across the top...too cute!

So he wore these shoes on a little outing to Babies R Us, and I decided that I LOVE him in some shoes! I saw these and HAD to get them:

I love this kid....!

"We like the name, not the school.."

So Mom was over one Saturday and we were watching college football. Cal State was playing and their logo kept flashing on the bottom of the screen. We thought it was the cutest thing because we have our sweet Cal, so my mom, being the nut that she is, went to the Cal State website and ordered us sweatshirts! She wore her new sweatshirt out around friends and none of them got it. We all think it's hilarious...

We have to keep explaining that we don't care a thing for the school... we just like the name! ha!

Cal update!

It seems like I have been so busy that I haven't had the time to update my blog, but when it comes to updating the blog, I don't really have much to post!

Things with Cal are going GREAT. We are still figuring out his feedings. He is hungry ALL the time, but our doctor said to really try to hold him off so that from time off the breast to time back on the breast is at least 2 hours. This will teach Cal to eat until full at each feeding and it will encourage him to sleep for longer stretches at night. Well, this is easier said than done! We can hold him off sometimes, but when this kid wants to eat, he wants to eat! I have gotten pretty good at holding him off by walking around with him. Eddie, on the other hand, just wants to feed him when he cries. If we continued doing that, we would have a 20 pound 4 week old!

This is how we have to hold him when he *thinks* he is hungry. He passes out every time!

He still gets up at night to eat (of course!). I was getting up to feed him and changing his diaper and spending about 1.5 hours each time up with him. That was ridiculous! He was fully waking up at each feeding and taking his sweet time going back to sleep. I started not changing his diaper at night and it has helped tons! Actually, he has been sleeping by my side (in the bed with me-- I know! it's bad!), and then when it's time to eat, I feed him and he falls right back asleep again. He doesn't like his crib right now, but we are hoping to work him out of that. I have got to break the habit of him in my bed, but it is sooooo nice and easy that way!

I posted a website over on the side bar that we are using to upload all of our pictures. I am trying to keep that really current so if I am slacking here, you can see Cal grow by looking over at that link.
