Weird Kid

We recently dusted off the video camera to document Caleb's return home from Florida. We have several good video clips that we're planning on posting here.

This is Caleb helping Laura clean the table after dinner. He really seems to enjoy cleaning--which seems odd for a two year old--but makes more sense when you consider that he spends most of his time with Laura and has 50% of her genes.

Poseiden

Here is a picture of Caleb's first pet, Poseiden the fish. It is a big step for me to have him in the apartment. Lee is the fish supervisor and is in charge of changing the water and all tasks associated with the fish. Caleb is the fish caretaker and is in charge of feeding him twice a day. Caleb loves his fish, so hopefully Poseiden will have a long happy life.

Caleb and Graysen

Here are some pictures of Caleb and Graysen from this morning. Caleb had some crazy hair this morning!!!

Caleb is a great big brother. He loves Graysen and is very interested in him. He likes to help take care of Graysen by bouncing him in the chair, picking out his clothes, helping with Diaper changes, ...

Graysen had a pediatrician visit today. He weighed 8 Lb 2 oz. He gained 1 Lb 1 oz since his last visit two weeks ago. The pediatrician was surprised. Mr. Graysen likes to eat a lot!!! He is doing great. The pediatrician was very impressed with how well his scar has healed. She said that it is one of the best scars that she has seen. (The cardiologist said the same thing last week.) He received the RSV vaccine today, so that will help protect him. There isn't a lot of news. Overall, Graysen is doing really well and we are very blessed that he recovered from surgery so well. His next doctor appointment is next week with the pediatric cardiologist. He will have x-rays taken at that time. The purpose of the x-ray is to look at the lungs since they are receiving so much blood flow.

Graysen with Grandma

Here is a picture of Grandma with Graysen. He loves his Grandma. My mom has been the biggest help this week. I do not know what I am going to do without her next week. I have learned that taking care of two children more than doubles the workload.

We are going to have a relaxing day today. Graysen has a pediatrician visit tomorrow. It is a routine visit, but it will be fun to see how much he has grown. He eats a lot, so I am anticipating that he has grown quite a bit.

Playdate with Emily

Caleb enjoyed playing with his friend Emily yesterday. This week will be quiet for us. My mom is in town and I am enjoying having help with the two boys. Next week will be a challenge for me since it will be my first week having both boys by myself. Both Graysen and Caleb are doing well and Caleb is the sweetest big brother. He is very interested in Graysen and loves to help with anything that Graysen needs.

Greenville Zoo

My dad, Lee, and I took Caleb to the Greenville Zoo today. He enjoyed seeing all of the animals and we enjoyed spending the day with him. His favorite animals were the giraffes and alligators. My mom stayed home and bonded with Graysen.

Caleb is Home!

Caleb arrived last night with Grandma and Grandpa. We are happy to have him home. He played with every single toy that he owned last night, as you can see from the picture. He was very nice to Graysen: he gave him two cars, which are very valuable to him, and he pets him kind of like a dog. He has not shown any jealousy and seems to accept that Graysen is part of the family.
