Little Boo Boo

It's been a while since i just did a little montage of the latest pics of my little boo (as "Mama Y" so affectionately calls him) so here it is...

Speaking of Mama Y...she wanted to make sure that her Little Boo has the BEST of the BEST! So when it came to choosing a crib, she and Papa D got him a 100% organic, eco-friendly, non-chemical, etc. etc. CRIB. Everything in it, from the sheets to the mattress to the COILS in the mattress follow suit...and he absolutely LOVES it!

It's taken a while for Kaleb to get used to his Daddy's big muscular slightly harsher handling but he loves him all the same...just not as much as his mommy ;-)

LOOK AT THIS FACE!!! What more can i say?!?! Kisses all day long...

Getting chunkier and chunkier by the day.

He sleeps like a little angel...or a little lamb when he's in his swing!

Flying through the air it's...SUPER BABYYYYY!!!

Kaleb and I took a much needed trip to DC in June. He met tons of family, most of whom for the first time. And we even celebrated Trav's first Father's Day when he came up for the weekend. When Auntie Chelsey and I missed our plane back to Charlotte, we decided to take advantage of the extra time and relax at the neighbors' pool...AHHHH!!!!

Post bath in his Winnie the Pooh towel...pure cuteness!

He LOVES bath time!

Awww...look at my guys snuggling!

He's not too fond of his car seat so he thinks by shooting me this little face he's going to be taken out every time. Hmmm...

"i guess she's not buying it!"

LOL! Trav woke him up and this is what he got.

My poor baby got his immunizations and was cranky the whole rest of the day. Broke my heart!

My chunky-cheeked little muffin loves his new hat!

Close up!

I was changing his diaper, he sprayed me, and this is the look i got lol.

His head shape has definitely smoothed out since birth!

Who're you yelling at, little man?!?!

MILK MOUTH

We like to rub our little feetsies together.

Smiley baby!

Sometimes a close-up is a little too close.

NEKKY Baby!!!!

We LOOOOVE to snuggle. And u know what they say, we're around each other so much i guess we start to act the same. I LOVE YOU BOOGABOO!!!!!!

Goo Goo Ga Ga

I never thought in a million years that i'd be remotely interested in "non-words". But my little man speaks them all the time and i'm completely enamored with them! Kaleb will stare up at my face into my eyes, smile and start girgling, giggling and cooing his best interpretation of words. I can't get enough! As i said before, he is most chipper in the early morning so that's when we have our best talks...here's some of our convo from 7/13.

Good Morning This Morning!

Ahhhhhhh...I FINALLY got a video on here, which i've been meaning to do since i started the blog! And i think this one is a great one! Kaleb is the happiest person in the world at 6/7 o'clock in the am and i just love that i can share a little of my morning joy on the blog with you all. More videos to come in the very near future...

Happy BIRTHday!!!!!!

My pumpkin pie sugar dumpling honey bun cutie pie angel face love bug cuddle bear puddin' pop honey drop boobie face baby cakes stud muffin turned 3 MONTHS today!!!! He is sweeter than ever, holding his head up & looking around, cooing, laughing, giggling, MOVING, and in general just showing us so much more personality. I can't believe it's been 3 months already...i still remember the day they popped his little purple monkey face from around the paper sheet as i got the first look of my little sweetheart! LOVE U BUGAGBOOOOO!!!

Sleeping Cutie

When i last wrote (exactly one month ago?!) we had relented to placing Kaleb in the bed with us. After many suggestions (from the hubby to family to reading material), i decided to get it together and nip that nasty-habit-to-be in the bud before it was too late. I must confess that it was just as cozy for me as it was for him, letting him sleep on my chest after he ate until we both fell asleep...and OHHHH how my little cuddle bug LOVES to cuddle! But we can cuddle during the day; sleep is all too important, as i'm learning more and more. The remedy: slowly placing him in the bassinet when he fell asleep (yes, in my arms!), next placing him in his bassinet when he is still awake but very drowsy--temporary crying and all--then gradually increasing bassinet time during the night to where he sleeps in his bassinet ALLLLL night...HALLELUJAH! And last night i got the treat of all treats...Kaleb slept a FULL 8 HOURS without waking up!!!!! My little man is growing up way too fast (tear!)

Good Morning Sunshine!

Soooooooooo...i know that we're supposed to put Kaleb in his bassinet/crib to sleep at night but recently all that has gone to hell. When i get up to feed him at night, the easiest way to lull him back to sleep is by putting him on my chest. Who knew how comfy this position is?! Needless to say, it's OUR new favorite way to go to sleep! And in an effort to save myself the time and the headache of actually getting up out of the bed to do my nightly duties i just plop him on the bed next to me and snuggle him up to my breast...which is where he wants to be anyways! So now, instead of waking up to one beautiful male specimen i wake up to TWO. Take a look at my morning sunshine...

Daddy's Home

So when Trav comes home these days i can barely get a smooch in before he's all over the little one! I can't say i blame him...i do the same ALLLLLL day and still can't get enough! So today was no different and i thought i'd sneak a pic in before the two love bugs woke up. Oh how i love my little family!!!!!!
