a birthday, a wedding, a virus and Christmas

That pretty much sums up the last month and is my excuse for not posting in so long. Caleb turned 1 on the 8th (I can't believe it). We had a wonderful party at Nana and Pop Pop's house and had so many guests we could barley all fit! We are so lucky to have some many close friends and family that love him as much as we do.

The next weekend we were off to Lubbock for Aunt Joni's wedding, which was beautiful ( as was she). It was a very busy trip with the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. Caleb took it all in stride until the reception where he had just had too much. He and I stayed about 30 mins and had to leave because he was soooo tired and fussy.

Poor guy, turns out he was more than just worn out. He had a virus that whole next week. I'll spare you all the details but basically he felt like crap and we ended up making 2 trips to the Dr. in one week. He was also scheduled to have tubes put in his ears that week but it had to be rescheduled since he was sick. He seems to be doing better now, although we are starting to suspect that he may have some allergies as well.

And finally, Christmas! This was technically Caleb's 2nd Christmas but he was pretty unaware last year. Santa came and loaded him up on new toys, guess he was a good boy. Although he had more fun with the boxes in general we are enjoying all the new "big boy" stuff that Santa brought.

Since there is no way I can catch up on pictures of all that has been going on, let me just offer up a few cake pics from the birthday party. He was a little unsure about it at first, but well you can see for yourself that didn't last. That's our boy!
