Mr. Caleb Mark is 10 weeks old today! What a joy he is to our family! He’s a pretty good baby, other than when he’s hungry or tired. He seems to go from a whimper to a full-on scream with breath holding in 6 seconds flat. But, he’s easily appeased by some food or being cuddled with a blanket and his binky.
The kids are crazy about him. Especially Adam. At first I saw Adam in him a lot, but when I went through baby pictures of both Adam and Abby, I decided that although he definitely looks like a Gardner, he has his own little look about him. I’m pretty sure he’ll have blue eyes like Adam though.
His 2 month accomplishments include smiling! He just barely started to smile and coo a little in the past few days. His pediatrician said the average time for first smiles and coos is 6 weeks, but with being 4 weeks premature, he’s still right on target.
His stats are:
Weight: 9 lbs. 15 oz. (25th percentile)
Height: 21.5 inches (7th percentile)
I love looking back and comparing the sizes of my other babies. At 2 months, Abby was 9 lbs. 6 oz. and 21.5 inches and Adam was a whopping 11 lbs. 14 oz. and 23 inches!!
Although he’s only in the 25th percentile for his weight, compared to his short stature, he’s starting to look FAT! It’s mostly in his cheeks and neck.
And here are just a whole bunch of random pictures of our cute little dude.

Deep in thought
I usually nap him on his tummy because he sleeps SO much better!
Smiling at Big Brother!
“Help me Mommy!”
Life is cah-ray-zee with 3 little kids but I love it despite my grumblings! I blame that on the sleep deprivation.
