boo hoo

so my fear has come true...you are stuck somewhere in the pit of a cave with no communication. I just want you to know that we all love you and miss you so much. Please contact me as soon as you can. You are my saner side. :(

As promised

Here is a video of our happy little boy just woken up...sorry the video is so dark :(

Kinda sucks

So its kinda weird how we are both going off on this separate vacations without each other, huh? Kinda sucks. I promise to be good and eat all my vegetables and floss my teeth. I hope you have as much fun in El Paso as I hope to have in London!

someone likes music

The other day I let your son run free like the wind around teh living room and below are examples of where he spent around 30 minutes. He would stand up and bang against the strings to make noises or he would sit down and knock on the wood. All in all, it was very cute! :)

that last post was a booboo

After I posted the title I hit enter and I guess that posts the blog...will remember for future postings...anywho, this weekend was uneventful. We woke up early on Saturday because we were all geared up to go to the Speyer fest on a USO trip. Of course, we woke up at 0600 but didn't manage to get there until 0850 when the bus departed at 0900. To my surprise there was NO bus to be found...they ditched us!!! It is perfectly understandable if they had driven off exactly at 0900 on the dot...but they didn't evne though they were aware that there were people missing on the bus. Not only that, but if they expect you to be there 15 minutes prior, then they need to state so on the receipt!!! I was so frustrated. I am going to call USO tomorrow and figure out if I can get my money back...am I being unreasonable?

missed you...

:(

Missing you a lot lately...

The boy is one! Off to the doctor we go!

Today was Caelan's first year doctor appointment. It was funny because it was the first doctor's appointment that we've had that I didn't have a million and one questions. I got the sheet at first that had all the things you had to check off such as talking, walking, problem solving milestones. The communication was the first part and Caelan isn't doing ANY of those things yet. Made me very nervous. All the other milestones he has down pat, well except for the walking one. So your son is 24 lbs 2 oz., 35 inches long, and has a head circumference 45.5 inches. The doctor said he can get off of formula so we are gave him all whole milk today. The doctor did say that he wants me to call a place called EDIS or EDSI like education development something or other (don't worry I have it written down) because he is concerned that Caelan hasn't reached any of the communication milestones yet. I told him I thought that maybe it was because we spoke different languages to him but he said they should still reach the same milestones. So I guess the people from this place will come over and play games with him and test him out and see if he has special needs or if he needs speech therapy? It was all kind of vague but I am sure I will get the information when I call them. I'm not too worried about it, though. Caelan is a smart baby and I know he will speak when he wants to. Maybe he has nothing interesting to say right now...Ok, then off we were to get blood drawn for an anemia test (though by looking at chunky pants you could prolly tell that was going to be a negative) It was Randy's wife that was the lab tech which made me feel better about the whole thing. Blood drawn?! I was not looking forward to it... I had to sit in the chair and hold him tight while they pushed down the arm bar on us as if we were on a roller coaster (I felt almost the same nervousness as if I was actually going on a real roller coaster) and another tech was holding his other arm. Here comes the needle! and...YOUR SON DID NOT CRY AT ALL!!!!!!! And when I am saying not at all that's exactly what I mean!!! Not one little pouty lip, not frown, not one single tear. He was just looking at Joye (thats Randy's wife's name btw) like, "What is that thing? Can I touch it?" And it was an actual blood drawn, they filled a little test tube and all. Very proud of my strong boy. The off we go to shots...He was supposed to get five (!) but they were out of one (yes, what a surprise) so we decided to only give him three for now and wait to give him two when the other one came in. The shots, well the shots didn't go as well as the blood draw. It didn't help that there was a baby getting his shots in the bed next to ours before Caelan got his and this baby was screaming BLOODY MURDER! Caelan looked so worried like, "Mom, what are they doing to that baby?!" Kinda cute. So going into the whole thing he was already scared. After his shots, he cried for like 15 minutes. It was funny cause he would kinda stop for like 30 sec and then I would think it was over and then he would start crying again. We gave him some Tylenol and he has been sleeping a lot. Poor baby. Will let you know when I hear more about the EDSI or EDIS place. All in all, our son is the picture of health!
