The Boggess Bunch: Caleb's 2nd Christmas

It has taken me a while to post since Christmas. Ricky has been off work this past week, so we have been having "family time" every day. We have been having so much fun! We are sad that Daddy has to go back to work.

The few weeks before Christmas we had a very sick little boy. It all started out with a cold, which turned into his first ear infection. As soon as his ear was getting better, he began to have a terrible cough...back to the doctor once again to find out he had the croup. The dr. said it was something completely separate he had picked up. After a few days, it seemed the croup was getting worse, but the cough sounded different. Back to the dr. we went to find out he had gotten a sinus infection, but the croup was better. Needless to say, Caleb survived all the illnesses just in time to be healthy for Christmas. If this wasn't bad enough, Caleb had 5 teeth break through during the sicknesses....I was convinced that I needed an award for survining all that. haha We were seriously thankful that he was well for all the holiday celebrations.

We had a wonderful Christmas!! It is definitely all about Caleb now, but we loved every second of it! Caleb really still didn't have a clue what was going on, but he had a blast anyway! We visited many family members and opened tons of presents. We also ate a lot of FOOD of course.

Caleb is getting VERY smart...he sometimes surprises me with what he knows. He now goes to the drawer where we keep the remotes and shakes the handle when he wants to watch a movie. He follows instructions like, put your sock in the hamper. One day I said this and he actually did it to my surprise! He is pretty quiet, but VERY VERY busy!! He doesn't stop all day (not even to cuddle). However, all the playing is tiring. He sleeps every night from around 7 p.m. - 7 or 8 a.m. He also takes two naps still. He eats like a 6 year old. haha A normal breakfast for him is an eggo waffle and a banana. He will basically eat whatever we put in front of him. He can say quite a few words, but uses them pretty sparingly. He really is a quiet baby, sometimes you have to look for him because he is so quiet. Okay, now I have updated you, here are the pictures.
