Stopping Traffic

Caleb got really dressed up for church today. He looked like a little man all dressed up for prep school. Caleb received compliments all day on his his sharp vest, the matching socks and the shoes. Caleb was very well dressed today
and inspired dad to dress up a little bit more than usual for worship.

This is a great looking outfit and I love it, but I have a problem with it. The little pants don't have snaps like EVERY OTHER outfit Caleb wears. To change his diaper you have to actually remove and the shoes and the pants to get to the diaper. It's a lot of work and really annoying and by the time you are done, it is almost not worth it to put the shoes and pants back on him. That is why his only half dressed in the second picture.

We continue to be amazed at the response we get from total strangers who see Caleb. We are used to seeing glances across a restaurant or overhear people commenting on Caleb as we walk by. But we are still surprised by people who stop us or go out of their way to see him. Tonight, as we were getting Caleb out of the car at our small group, a car that was approaching us stopped right next to our car. the lady behind the wheel rolled down her window and said "I love babies. I have to see him." We walked to her car and gave her a closer look. She admired and complimented how beautiful he is until a car going the opposite direction could not get by. Needless to say, it was an interesting experience.

We have to enjoy it while it lasts. There are several other ladies at church who are pregnant including one whou should be giving birth very soon. It won't be long before Caleb is old hat and just another baby, so we are trying to soak in as much of the attention as we can.
