Sad Boy

You have probably gotten used to cute pictures of Caleb whether it was simply a smile or a particular outfit or some achievement. I like those pictures too. But the fact of the matter is Caleb is a baby and he has moments where he is not happy. Those moments have not really been reflected on this site up to this point. So I thought I would share this picture of Caleb taken by Mom this afternoon while they were waiting for me to get home from work.

Now, you might think it is mean or cruel to post this picture of Caleb. But it is not truly representative of the Caleb experience to not show this side of him. Regardless, to some extent, a crying baby is cute. Doesn't this picture just make you want to pout out your lower lip and say "Awww, Poor Boy"?

What's really bad is that Caleb's grandparents, Granddaddy and Whatshername, think the sound of Caleb crying is cute. The first couple of weeks he was alive, they kept calling and asking if he was crying. If they could hear him crying, they would try to the get the great grandparents on a conference call just to hear him cry. Mom used to say that she would not let Caleb cry just to be their entertainment. So I don't feel that bad about posting a picture of him crying.
