A Very Merry Christmas and a Not-So Happy New Year

Caleb had a wonderful first Christmas. He was definitely spoiled by both our families and seemed to enjoy tearing into the wrapping paper. Here is a picture of him on Christmas morning. Santa brought him the Bee-Bop Band set as well as some books. I also made him a busy book that I sewed this fall and that was his gift from us.


And our family on Christmas Day with Caleb giving me a kiss on the cheek...

The past few days haven't been too fun. Caleb got sick on Sunday with a stomach bug and STILL has it (we just went into the office today for a Roto Virus test--they told us that sometimes a stomach virus can last up to a week and a half in babies). Kevin got the 24-hour stomach flu on Tuesday and numerous other members of my extended family also have had it over the past few days. Caleb was sick a total of two times in his first 10 months of life (both with just a common cold) and in the last month, he has had a stomach bug twice! We are hoping for a healthier next couple of months as we start out the new year!

I am so sad to hear that my sweet Caleb is sick. I hate that for you. The no sleep and cranky babies takes its toll on the parents for sure. Doesn't it make you not want to even step out of the house!! Well, I hope you and your family all starts feeling better soon. If I can do anything for you just let me know.
