One Week

Caleb has been home for one week today. The day was acknowledged with very little fanfare. Dad went to a meeting at church, Poppy and TuTu went shoe shopping and Mom and Caleb napped. We're real party animals.

Today really was uneventful until the evening. Caleb's Granddaddy and Whatshername (I previously mentioned that Caleb's maternal grandmother can't decide what she should be called. Dad has decided to refer to her as Whatshername until she comes up with something.) arrived at the house and dinner. Mom and Dad thought it would be special for Caleb to have all four of his grandparents here at once. TuTu cooked fajitas and we all had a good time together. Caleb was passed around and hardly had a moment to himself. I don't think he was too disappointed.

Due to the uneventfulness of the day, very little of note happened today. Caleb did have his first bath this afternoon while Poppy and TuTu were out. Caleb was not thrilled with this idea and cried for most of the ordeal. He did calm down once Mom got the hooded towel on him to dry him and warm him.

At the end of the day, Dad could not decide which picture to post today. Mom was sure the picture should be from the bath as this was such a big milestone for Caleb. However, Caleb was wrapped in his UM blanket for this first time today and Dad just can't resist Caleb showing off his colors. Dad decided to compromise and post both pictures. Enjoy!

He looks good in orange but needs a blaknket with a Power T on it. Don't worry, I'll see that he gets one in short order.

Good, he needs more burp cloths.
