2 months old!

Well it's been a while since we've updated the blog, so here you go! Caleb is 2 months old today! He's getting big, that's for sure. We had an appointment two weeks ago and he was 9lbs 9oz and measured at 23 1/2" long. He's growing up so fast!:) 

Let's recap the first two months of Caleb's life. So far, he's traveled about 8,000 miles. He's gone to Alaska and back, and to Wyoming and back - quite the traveler already! He did great on both trips - we couldn't have asked for him to do any better, really. He took his first step yesterday and is feeding himself with a bottle - ha! Now that's wishful thinking!! Seriously though, he's starting to squirm around quite a bit and we keep thinking he's going to be on his belly every time we check on him in his crib. While we were in Wyoming, he gave us his first little giggle and real smile. And tonight was Caleb's first experience at youth group. He's had a pretty eventful first couple months of life, that's for sure.

Joye and I are looking forward to the coming months as a fairly normal schedule begins for us. It will be nice to get into a rhythm again after a long, crazy summer. Joye goes back to work in a month or so and we think we've nailed down daycare for Caleb - an answer to prayer actually!

Here are a few pictures of the best looking guy in our family (and the best looking lady too - in the last picture!:)).

Enjoy and we hope to see all of you soon!

Love you all,

JJC

One happy boy!

Slip the jab!  Slip the jab!  One, two!  Slip the jab!

Sleeping in mama's arms...precious.

North to Alaska!

Well, we've been in Alaska for about a week now and we're having a really good time. The trip here couldn't have gone better. Caleb was a trooper and did very well the whole way. It's amazing how many people stare at you in the airports when you are carrying a baby.

Caleb has met all his cousins on this side of the family. We can't wait until he can start running around and play with all of them.

I'm having a blast fishing. We've worked hard when we've been open and we're headed out early in the morning to fish a normal fishing period tomorrow. Unless they extend us into Tuesday, I'm going sport fishing with a couple others. I can't wait to hook into one of those Reds - there's nothing like it!

Joye is having a good time catching up with all her cousins and the rest of the family here. She is doing a wonderful job being mom and wife.

Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy. We've got some really neat pictures of Caleb - his Aunt Jana has been helping us with some great photo opps, but we're going to save those for now.

Enjoy these photos! We love you all.
Johnny, Joye, and Caleb

Caleb and Josiah
They are 4 months apart - Caleb is 4 weeks and Josiah is 5 months. Josiah likes to play with Caleb, but Caleb doesn't really know what's going on yet.:)

This is just us with the view overlooking the bluff.

Now this is what we came for!! A 66lb King! So far its the biggest one the processor has received this year.

We looked over during dinner and found Caleb just chillin' in the swing with is leg kicked up on the tray. That's how he rolls.:)

This is the view walking down the the bluff to the beach. Beautiful!

Life is good!

Okay, so here are a few pictures for ya. Caleb is 3 weeks old today! He's getting so old, isn't he? We'll be off to Alaska next week for a couple of weeks. It should be an interesting flight, but we can't wait to be in AK with family and I can't wait to take Caleb down to the beach to pick some fish!!!!  We love you all and hope to see you soon.  Enjoy the pics!

This is his favorite sleeping position - just like his dad.

Nice PJ's!

He might be picking his nose here...

This is where we hope Caleb sleeps for a long time tonight.;) 

(Thanks to Jana and Wende for the nice decor!)

This is where we change his diapers! Fun, fun!

Caleb is two...weeks old!

Time is flying and Caleb is growing! We took him in today to check his weight - he is now a healthy 6lbs 13oz. He's gained about an ounce a day since our last appointment a week ago. Joye is doing very well adjusting to a whole new lifestyle being at home for a while. I'm back to work this week and going home for lunches is a lot more fun now!:)
Hampton's out!

Caleb is one week old!

Here's Caleb and the infamous infant hiccups. The video quality is poor but hey, not bad for a camera phone, right?
