Caleb 8 months check up


Caleb just over 7 months


Allison at 8 months


Today I took Caleb into the Dr's. He has had a cough and I wanted to make sure he was not getting an ear infection. He also has a rash again on his arms. I decided to do his 8 month check up a little early. I spoke to the Dr a lot about vaccinations and Caleb's low muscle tone. He agreed that Caleb does have low muscle tone but he is not too worried because he does put weight on his legs now. Caleb is also rolling around like crazy on the floor. That made me feel at ease after seeing the physical therapist I was a little concerned but I wanted to get my Dr's opinion first. Caleb is really laid back and is in no hurry to grow up. I love that about him. :) Although he has a tone of teeth coming in. All the saliva is causing him to cough. He does not droll very often so the saliva runs down the back of this throat causing some congestion. Caleb is still in the 95% for his height and is now in the 88% for his weight. He weighs 21lbs and 4 oz. I am not sure why he is so low in his weight when he eats all the time. I think he just has his dads high metabolism. Today was great because Caleb was so exhausted that he took a 2 1/2 hour nap on his tummy. He has not napped that long in a awhile. I really don't want him to get any bigger.







After rest time today I showed Allison some pictures of when she was a baby. I really miss my little girl cuddling in my arms. Caleb does not like to cuddle but Allison does once in awhile. I just thank God every day for my two kids. I am truly blessed. What a joy they are to have.
