The past few weeks have been hectic so we look forward to the weekends. Callen rolled over from his belly to his back on Saturday (4/21/12)! He also had his first taste of cereal this weekend! He is growing right before our eyes! His belly laughs are adorable. He recognizes our voices and will look for us when he hears us. He puts EVERYTHING he can reach into his mouth, so the drool is never ending! He is starting to sleep longer at night and sometimes he naps for longer than 30-40 minutes. Hahaha

Yummy! :)

Callen worked so hard, but couldn't quite get over onto his back this time. Of course I didn't have the camera on when he did it before!

Spring Break

Aaron was so excited to pick Callen up from the babysitter since I wasn't back from the zoo field trip in time. When I got home, they were relaxing on the porch swing. (3/29/2012)

I remember how hard it was to keep Callen content in this bouncy seat when he was a few weeks old. Now he enjoys playing and talking (and spitting) in it. It won't be long before he is too big for it. He is really getting good at reaching and making contact with toys within his reach!

Modeling time!! Aunt Susan came to town from VA to take some 4 month shots of Callen. He was such a model and smiled so big! I will post some of her professional shots eventually, but for now, these are some shots I took from the sidelines.

Callen loves to stand on his strong legs. He keeps his back straight and stands tall!

After a long day of modeling, Callen was excited to open his first Easter card. Thanks Aunt Courtney and Uncle Travis!

Aunt Courtney and Callen (4/6/12)

Callen was having so much fun in his carrier when we got home, he stayed and played with his toys while I did some housekeeping. I caught him reaching for the monkey. It was one of the first times I saw him make contact. His coordination is definitely developing.

Story time before bed ... Callen will let you know if it is a minute past his bedtime and he hasn't had a story read to him. This was a new Easter book Aaron bought for bedtime. Callen and Aaron were having a sweet moment when I snuck in to snap a picture or two.
We always finish with Goodnight, Moon before 'lights out'. Most of the time, Callen's eyes close as the last line is read..."Goodnight noises everywhere."
