3 Month Portraits

All Smiles

Enjoy!

All Smiles

Caleb hasn't felt well the past couple of days, so we had some extra fun playtime today since he's feeling better. I put him in his jumper and just started taking pictures left and right. He gave me some great smiles! Singing always helps get really good smiles from Caleb. I'm thinking I'm going to have to sing during the entire photo shoot on Saturday when we have his portraits made. I hope he gives the photographer some great smiles! Enjoy!

Calvin and Hobbes

Caleb's first Halloween. There are many costumes in his future. In fact, I think there are many costumes in our family's future. Jonathan and I are already thinking of things we can be for future Halloweens. We always dressed up and went trick-or-treating when I was little, but other than that, I usually don't get excited about Halloween. Things change when you have a baby - In some ways, you get to be a kid again. I'm reallly looking forward to taking Caleb trick-or-treating.

Being one of Jonathan's all-time favorite comics, Calvin and Hobbes was very appropriate when the tiger costume came into play. Benjamin gave Caleb this cute little tiger costume, and it fit perfectly! Good job Benj! Jonathan's red shirt was supposed to have black stripes on it, but someone fell down on the job. Not sure who that was. :) I also wanted to dye J's hair blonde, but he wasn't about to go for that. Anyway, Caleb wins the cutest tiger award!!

We had our Baby Dedication Service on October 4th at church. The staff made this important day so special for our family. The service and luncheon were both very nice. The food was wonderful! We had most of our family there to take part in Caleb's special day. We loved having everyone there!

We appreciate everyone who was able to come! Caleb, you had so many family members there to support you. Mommy, Daddy, Gigi and Granddaddy Clement, Nannie, Mama Boo, Uncle Win, Uncle Wes, Ann Gibbs (Aunt Ann), Grammy and Granddaddy Smith, Aunt Hannah (and Cousin Walker :), Mamaw Marguerite, Aunt Virginia and Uncle Bob. I wish we had thought to take a group picture.

Caleb, this day was very important because Mommy and Daddy made a commitment to raise you in a loving, Christian home by praying for you, being a Christ-like example for you, and providing you with a church that teaches biblical truth. You will one day come to a point in your life where you can accept Christ. Our prayer is that you will follow Christ faithfully. We promise to keep the commitment we have made, and we also promise to always love you! Hugs and Kisses from Mommy and Daddy.

Travelin' Man

My mom and I recently took Caleb to visit my grandmother, Mama Boo. She loved getting to spend time with him! We are making the rounds visiting all four of Caleb's great-grandmothers. We have two more stops to make and then we will have given our 4 Greats their first special one-on-one visit with Caleb.

Mama Boo and Caleb hit it off immediately! Caleb gave her his dashing smile many times. It's amazing how much baby gear is required when you travel. I never realized just how much stuff we use throughout the day until I packed the car for a night away! Well worth it though - we'll be making many more trips!
