4 Months and Counting!!

Well, it has been a couple of weeks since we have updated and a lot changes in a few weeks with a little one! Thomas started rolling over both ways just after he turned three months old, and now that is his "main mode of transportation". He really gets around. He has been under the Christmas tree, getting his arm hung under the chair and anywhere else he takes a notion to roll to. We will have our hands full when he becomes more mobile! He is really smiling and laughing more and more every day, and we LOVE it!! He has been finding his feet too, I put some striped booties on him one day and he really enjoyed looking at them. Since then, he has been noticing his feet more and more.

He is very strong, he tries to sit up alone and his balance is improving everyday!! His daddy had killed two deer this year, and one he killed just after Thanksgiving at my parent's house in Louisville and Thomas got to check that one out. Before we know it Thomas will be taking Justin hunting!

Well, we enjoyed watching our Rebels have a winning season!! Thomas enjoyed watching the Rebels beat the LSU tigers with his Daddy!!

We had a tree fall in our yard a week ago. It fell just outside the window to Thomas' room, it woke us up in the middle of the night. God had his hand on us, because if had broken off just a little further down the tree it would have been on the house, we were so blessed that it just left a mess in our yard. Thomas helped Justin survey the damage!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas if I don't get to update between now and then, we are looking forward to our first Christmas with Thomas!!

Three Months and Counting!

Well, Thomas turned 3 months on October 26! Wow how the time has flown by. Jenna Lile took some great 3 month pictures of him, you can view them by going to http://www.jennalile.com/, click on Portraits, click on Client Access, and the password is: caldwellfam2008. I hope you enjoy them! Here is a picture of him on his three month birthday! He's getting to be a big boy!

Thomas didn't do a whole lot of trick-or-treating, but he did have a costume! Here is a picture of our little Tootsie Roll and his cousing Lauren was a kitty cat! Thomas got a new Bumbo, he looks like a big boy sitting up in it! He is doing great at picking his head up when he is on his tummy! He is rolling from his tummy to his back and his back to his tummy. He especially loves playing a game with his Daddy in which he lies on his tummy on his Daddy's tummy and rolls off while his Daddy catches him, he smiles big and rolls again! He is also driving a car with his lips now, he blows drool and bubbles everywhere!!

Well, I wanted to show everyone some new pictures or our SWEET growing boy!!

Growing Boy

Well Thomas has had another eventful week! He got to see his friend Joshua Smith all the way from Clovis, New Mexico again this week. Laura (a close friend from college) came to visit her family here in Mississippi this week and her sister Mary Martha and her baby Rani also came. Laura and I had quite an adventure, while Mary Martha had an appointment we got all the babies in my car and brought them to the Caldwell house, here is a picture of them all lined up after we got here to the house. We had a wonderful visit. Joshua is almost 3 full months older than Thomas and Rani is 3 weeks younger than Thomas......he will have some fun playing with them one day! The order is as follows, Thomas, Rani, and Joshua...

We all took a trip to Tupelo Friday to enjoy our last week day together before I return to work tomorrow. Thomas did wonderful, as usual, and we had a great day. His daddy picked him out some new outfits and he wore one to church this morning. The picture below is him all dressed up and ready for church! He looked like a sweet little man :)

Here is a picture of him with his Ole Miss hat on, it is getting a bit closer to fitting him!

I will return to work tomorrow with tears in my eyes, but with joy in my heart thinking of the last twelve weeks solid that I have enjoyed with our SWEET baby Thomas! Now I get to look forward to coming home everyday and seeing our precious baby smiling back at me! Wow how these weeks have already flown by, but it has been so much fun to see him grow and smile and coo more and more each day! Well that's it for another week!

Another Week Has Passed

Well, Thomas is another week older already, wow how the time flies!! This past week Thomas made his first trip to the Canton Flea Market and was quite a trooper.....he really enjoyed the shade more than anything, it turned out to be warmer than my Mom and I had hoped for, but he did well and got some new treats! He slept a lot Friday and Saturday, I think he was worn out!
Thomas also enjoyed a visit with Mawmaw and Pawpaw (Justin's grandparents) this past Saturday, he really laughed and said lots of 'coos' to them and made their day!

Justin decided he wanted to put together the jumperoo for Thomas and see if he would be able to get in it and start enjoying it, since he loves to kick his legs and play with his toys so much. Well we tried and as you can see in the picture it was quite a hoot, the jumperoo practically swallowed him, so we decided we were being a bit too hasty about trying that new toy out.....we'll wait for him to grow a bit more!

Here is a picture of Thomas wrapped up straight out of the bath tub, he loves his bath.....We hope that means he is going to love swimming in the river next summer and learning to water ski at a young age :)!

Until next time we will continue to thank God daily for blessing us with such a wonderful baby, and wonderful friends and family we can share the joy of him with!!

Time for Shots

Thomas got his first shots last week. He was a tough little boy and came through it all with few tears. We had support from KK to get us both through! Here are some pictures of his boo boos, at least they gave him cute band-aids for all the pain! He was ready to play when we got home, it didn't slow him down! He also felt up to smiling and talking to KK before she had to go home!

He wore his cowboy boots to church last Wednesday night, all the nursery workers got quite a chuckle!!

Thomas gets dressed up for game day every Saturday, Justin snapped his picture before we left going to the game. We look forward to taking him with us when he gets a bit older!

Here We Are

Well, we finally did it. We created a blog, WOW!

Well I guess to start with we can say our new bundle of joy is now two months old and changing everyday! We are enjoying every smile, coo, giggle, and any other little noise he makes.

What we've been up to lately.....well Thomas arrived July 26, 2008 and we haven't slowed down. We celebrated Justin's birthday September 12 and Thomas painted him a poster.

We are really enjoying Baby Thomas and every smile just melts our heart. We hope to be able to keep up with this and keep everyone up to date on what is going on in our lives!
