Caleb is 3 Months Old!

I honestly can't believe how quickly the time is flying! Today, our little monkey is 3 months old...it seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital welcoming Caleb into the world! So much has changed in our life since then! Over the past few weeks, Caleb has been a very busy little guy. We had a wonderful trip to visit all of our CT family and Caleb had his first airplane ride. He did great! I don't know if it was the sound of the engines or what but he pretty much slept the whole time. Everyone kept commenting on how awesome my little boy was. (Inside, I was like, I know! He's perfect! :) We spent a week in CT and Caleb got to meet his Senez & Rapa relatives and his Great Memere and Great Pepere for the first time. Everyone fell in love with him at first sight, of course! I mean, come on-- who could resist this serious amount of cuteness?!?!
After a week of visiting and fun, Caleb and I returned back to NC to Daddy and a brand new toy- The Rainforest Jumperoo!!! OMG, Caleb is in his glory! One would think that 3 months would be a little young for a baby to jump around in one of those things but not our strong little Caleb! He freaking LOVES it! We put him in and he bounces up and down for as long as we leave him in it! Of course, it IS really hard work so afterwards, his little legs are pretty tired and he usually goes right down for a nap!
Caleb has also reeeeally found his voice now! In fact, I don't think he's ever actually quiet anymore...It is so unbelievably cute! He "talks" to us, his toys & himself ALL the time! Yesterday, I even got him to say "Mama" a few times! I know, I know! He has no clue what he's saying but I don't care! I still love hearing it!!! :) Hmmmm what else?? Oh yeah, so he is also doing this wierd thing that looks a lot like crunches: Whenever he is in a semi-inclined position (carseat, swing, bouncy chair, newborn rocker, our knees), he pulls his shoulders up like he's trying to sit up. It is so funny to watch but also a little nerve racking! I mean, first of all-- his swing and newborn rocker dont have shoulder straps...so this is kind of scary! But second of all--- Uh...our 3 month old is trying to sit up??!?!?! Nooooooo!!!! He can't be growing up this quickly!!!
Speaking of growing up, in the past week, Caleb has also learned how to hold his own bottle and constantly rubs his gums with his fist! Yup- it's official, our little man has begun the glorious journey of teething! Luckily, so far he doesn't seem to be in any real pain so let's hope that holds off for a while!!! Wow! Ok, I just read back what I've written in this post and as I said when I began it: I can't BELIEVE how quickly the time is flying by! Tons of pics and movies to follow soon! :)
