Milestones

I never thought that a raspberry could bring tears to my eyes, but I was wrong. The spitty kind, not the fruit. Caelan has burst into being far more vocal- coos and a-goos and now raspberries and laughter. These tiny milestones that make this baby seem more like a person have changed the way I look at him every second. He is a changed person literally every day when he wakes up and I don't want to miss a moment of it. He is learning and growing in every way and it just blows my mind that this child entered the world only 4 months ago. He was a helpless empty vessel for us to care for and now he has doubled in size and can communicate in ways other than screaming. Truly, this is the most gratifying job in the world.

This blog must be God-awfully boring for other people to read. I am totally one of those nightmarish doting parents with nothing better to talk about! Humph. Oh well. Since it is really FOR Caelan and our family, I suppose it's okay.

In other news, Grandpy Gardy is still in the hospital recovering from surgery but doing well. Thank you to everyone who has kept him in their prayers. Also, Nana Cropper nearly cut off her pinky finger yesterday which I find both scary and hilarious. Geoff is usually the one I worry about with sharp objects but I guess that mom+knife+frozen salmon= disaster also! She is all stitched up and living life as a leftie for now.

Alright... back to business. I allowed myself to lose a considerable amount of flexibility while i was pregnant so I have been working hard to regain it now that I'm back to teaching dance. As you can see from the picture, Caelan enjoys helping me out. Off to do some splits and airplanes!
