We had an awesome weekend! Rudy was home all weekend and we took full advantage of having some family time together. Friday night was very low-key. On Saturday, we went to the Sears Portrait Studio for Caleb's 6 month portraits. They turned out really great - I can't wait to get them back! Saturday night, we enjoyed the Razorbacks' win over South Carolina with about 50 other Arkansas fans at Ozzie's. Caleb was a real trooper throughout the whole thing - even though it was a late night for him. He barely fussed and thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the people and playing with Jerry, Sherry and Rebecca.
On Sunday, we went to church and took Caleb to our church nursery for the first time. When we picked him up, the nursery worker was telling someone else what a happy-go-lucky guy Caleb was. When we got to the door, we just told her we were there to pick up Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky. She said that she was amazed at how good he was the whole time. He must have really had a good time. We certainly enjoyed being able to pay attention in the worship service. After church, we went out to lunch and then came home and cleaned like the Maid Brigade! The house had been abandoned for a few weeks and was in need of a good cleaning in a bad way. Rudy got cracked up when he vacuumed, because Caleb was so intrigued by the vacuum cleaner!
We had a real "breakthrough" on Saturday. Caleb's first tooth literally broke-through his gum! His tiny little tooth is on the bottom and in the front of his mouth. That could very possibly explain all of the nasty congestion and diarrhea that we fought all last week. It definitely explains the ridiculous amount of drool that we are dealing with. Poor Caleb just drools continuously! All of his toys are wet after he plays with them and he just can't keep a dry shirt.
Another big development this weekend was our realization that Caleb can now hold his own bottle. Now, instead of putting his bottle in his mouth ourselves, we hold it out in front of him and reaches for it. He puts it in his own mouth and then holds it himself. He can control it for most of the feeding, but toward the end, he starts to have trouble tipping it up high enough to get the rest. Regardless, it's a big accomplishment for him (and us)!
Tomorrow is Caleb's 6 month well-baby check-up. I'll try to post tomorrow night to give an update.
