all about caleb

Trying to remember this year. I think because it's all been about caleb, my whole focus has been him, learning how to be a mum, and enjoying his 1st year. So what did i learn, what did i experience hasn't been that much outside of my role as mum. Life was a lot simpler.

The 1st couple of months were a struggle, because I was so green and my milk took so long to come in. And my Mum stressed me out big time.

Then things started to settle down and routines started to develop. I think I barely left the house for the 1st 6 mths, apart from to hop in the car with myles.

Caleb highlights...sleeping with him in my arms for the 1st time at the hospital, watching him and his facial expressions, responding to us, smiling, laughing, 1st baths and showers, learning to crawl, eating 1st foods, getting his 1st teeth, cuddles, kisses, sleeping in my arms, on my lap, how he would watch people as if he was observing them, crying whenever the car stopped at lights, 1st words, 1st steps, playing with a box, watching tv ads....so many.

Going to the park for our anniversary in May and Caleb's 5th bday - just a small picnic, the 3 of us, enjoying our time on our picnic mat, by the sea. Going on our 1st plane ride to Byron Bay.

Plus succeeding on our 2nd attempt at IVF. We thought it might not be as easy as the 1st time when we had Caleb. But it was so quick and with little problems. Thanks to the LORD.

That's all i can remember for now.
