Happy 2 Month Birthday!!

Caleb is officially 2 months old, and look at how he's grown . . . mohawk and all. :)



Extreme close-up.



Just look at those tiny toes.





"On guard!"

Week 7 and Spring is finally here!

The sun is out, trees are blooming, and the birds are chirping . . . let's take some pictures! And take we did. I've still a bit of post processing to do, but here's the first photo of a few more to come.

There's a great tree with purple blossoms just down the block that I've wanted to include in a photograph of Jae and Caleb. It blossoms each year just about this time and we've told ourselves we'd take some photos in front of it but never got around to doing it. Well, with Caleb in our lives now, we finally took the opportunity to take photos before the little guy grows too big (just look at the size of the cheeks on that fella).

Yeah, Caleb's growing quickly. He's nearly doubled in weight (mostly in cheeks I think) and has out grown a good deal of clothes. He's also much more alert these days, following the sources of sounds and paying more attention to mom and dad. He's also gained more strength in his neck and back though he still has a great bobble head impersonation. And his little hands are beginning to grab onto things much more including mommy's shirt as he nurses. I like to call it the Grip of Death. There's times when he's so hungry and frantic that he latches onto mommy's shirt with his fist and won't relax until he's finally satisfied. The poor little guy thinks someone's gonna take his food away from him.

The past six weeks have just flown by . . . you tend to lose track of time when not getting much sleep I suppose. I just wish I could slow it down a bit. Soon Jae will be back to work and we won't have as much mommy, daddy, and baby time together as we do now. I'll just have to savor these days and preserve as much of these memories on film as possible.

Hand-In-Hand

I saw the most heart-warming thing I've ever seen today. Jae had gone upstairs to nurse Caleb after we had finished dinner while I stayed downstairs to clean-up. Afterward, I went up stairs to check on them and came upon the scene below. Apparently, Caleb had fallen asleep after a his feeding, and after a long day of chatting it up with her friends at a baby shower, mommy went to bed too. Nothing too spectacular except for Caleb holding onto mommy's arm while sleeping.

It was actually much darker when I walked in and found them side by side, and as soon as I saw Caleb's tiny hand holding onto mommy, I quickly grabbed my camera, turned on a few more lights, and shot away. All those sleepless nights, countless diaper changes, and endless crying . . . all worth it for moments like these.
