I can't believe that on Feb. 16, 2007 my baby was born. I will never forget the day he was born. I was in labor for about 6 hours. During the last couple of hours his heart rate dipped down and then would do back up. But at the end it dipped down and stayed down to 90's. It was so scary. They said he needed to come out now. It still amazes me how fast the doctor was there. He was at his office seeing patients.(His office is attached to the hospital.) I kept praying to Heavenly Father to let him be OK. I remember a peaceful feeling. They thought when he was born he would not be breathing. But he came out pink as could be and scored an 8 on his APGAR.
When he was born he weighed 6 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20 inches long. He was so little. It is funny because the doctor kept telling me I was going to have a big baby. I kept telling him he wouldn't it was just how he was laying.
He Has been such a blessing in our lives. Some of the highlights in his short life. He crawled at 6 1/2 months. He walked at 9 months and ran at 10 months. It is funny, people always said he was an early walker because he wanted to keep up with his brothers. I say it was so he could run away from them and all their kisses. Caleb LOVES being with them and follows them everywhere.
He is always making us laugh. I have been trying to teach him to say two. But he thinks it is funny to say one. If you say "Caleb say two" He will say "one" If you try to count with him he will say "one, one, one" It is now a joke to him. The other night we were saying his prayers. We say the same little prayer each night. When we pray he will say the last word in sentence. One of the things we say is "Help me to be nice." So I said "help me to be, Caleb say be nice." He said "me one nice" and then laughed.
I am grateful for the fun he brings to our family.
He is a Mama's boy and I love it.
He loves all balls.(Shocking I know.)
Loves all water and will find any puddle and jump in it. Even if it is very cold outside.
Loves to go boating. He was happy as a calm when we would boat 8-9 hours.
Loves to always help Mom in the kitchen.
LOVES to be a big boy! Favorite show is Blue's Clues and loves the color Yellow.(Good thing cause that is the color of his wall)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALEB
We love You

Happy Birthday Caleb. It sounds like Caleb has such a cute personality and you describe it so well.
Happy 2nd Birthday sweet Caleb boy! What a champ!
What a cutie. They grow up to fast!
the picture of Caleb int he boat asleep reminded me of Casey. He was about that age when we got our boat and he would always fall asleep to the humming of the engine. Happy Birthday to big boy Caleb, and thanks for helping Kara and Ryan this weekend. They just love being together as you could probably tell.
