This little man is MOVING! He still rolls around, but he loves his tummy and has started army crawling/scooting to get where he wants. He is pretty fast so we have to watch EVERYTHING on the floor now and vacuum every day to keep stuff out of his mouth!
He chews on everything. (he discovered his toes and those are a favorite!)
Sucks on his two fingers when he's tired or going to sleep.
Has started taking baths with brothers in the big tub. I have to hold onto him the entire time since he's not sitting on his own, yet, but he loooves it so it's worth it.
Because he loves being on his tummy so much, I kind of forgot to sit him up often, so he's not sitting on his own yet. We're working on it and he's getting close!
Has tried a lot more foods. He started not liking regular baby food because he just wants finger foods he can feed himself. We've had a little trouble getting his body to like the foods, though, (pooping has been hard :( poor guy) so we've been going slow with it and have gotten him to eat more runny baby fruits and veggies.
Celebrated his first Christmas!! Grandpa Dan, Nonny Kare, Uncle Shawn & Uncle Mckenon celebrated with us. It was so fun to have this sweet, smiley guy for the holidays. He just makes everyone happy!
He loved the Christmas tree and lights and was, of course, fascinated with the ornaments.
He talks and babbles all the time.
He loves to do this trick where Jeff holds him up by having Callen stand in his hand. He thinks he's super cool when and gets really excited!
Likes being read books with babies in the pictures.
He loves to jump in his bouncer.
He really likes music and toys that make music.
He is his brothers biggest fan! The boys can always get him to laugh and smile.
Started giving the sweetest, slobberiest, very best baby kisses.
Likes to watch baby signing time.
Doesn't cry when he wakes up. At all. So we usually just have to keep checking on him every 10-15 minutes around the time he usually wakes up. Because we won't hear him at all. IF he does start crying, it means he's been awake in there for awhile. Oh this boy is so sweet and content!
Dear Callen,
Your personality is really starting to shine through. You are so interested and curious about everything around you and you just love all of us. You love being in the middle of everything and are happy just to have us near. You definitely like being held and snuggled, also. You are still so sweet and happy and smiley. Truly, much of the joy and peace in our home comes from you. You love your time with me in the evenings and we just talk and laugh and make silly faces at each other. You like to scrunch up your nose and sniff in and out, it's so funny! We have so much fun with you, every single day.
You have our hearts, sweet boy, completely.
Love you,
Mom, Dad, and the bros.
