Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well, we didn't go all out, but you'll notice Caleb is wearing some green on his onesie to escape getting pinched. :) He's 1/8 Irish - he obviously got that part from me, but he didn't get the red hair to go with it...yet. We're still holding out to see what hair color he ultimately ends up with. It's gotten a little lighter since he was born.


If you see a red mark under his eye, that's the result of long nails and flailing hands. I managed to trim his nails yesterday, but believe me, that's no easy task. I have a feeling this active boy will have many more scrapes, bumps and bruises in the years ahead. :)

He is 5 1/2 weeks old already! Time has flown! When we went for his 4-week check-up, he was already up to 9 lbs, 9 ozs and 21 inches...growing boy! He's in the 25th percentile for both weight and height.

David is traveling to St. Louis this week for work, and he'll be gone for 8 days. Hopefully we'll survive ok without him. My dad is coming next week to paint Caleb's room for us. Yeah, we procrastinated a bit. But it's not all our fault since Caleb came two weeks early! I'll post pictures later of the finished room.
