Well Bubs is now, I think, 4 months :) He still goes by Bubs, bubsie, bubby bear, bubs-a-roonie, Andrew, Bubby, and Faith likes to call him "Baby Johnson". His cousins just love seeing him and they are pretty much sitting on him when they see him. Thankfully, Faith patrols the whole situation and makes sure no one at least sits on him :)

| Hey - I found my feet! |
He is quite the lovable guy with even more lovable cheeks! He is a very happy baby I would say.
He is really into putting everything in his mouth and now the drooling has started - yuck! Thankfully, he is doing pretty well on his developmental milestones: grasping toys, following things with his eyes, responding to sounds and voices....the only thing he is NOT enjoying is tummy time :( We try and try, but there are always tears. Mom is getting creative with tummy time though and we do it even when being held like an airplane on moms shins with Bubs in the air
He has found his feet and loves to hold them on the changing table. He did role over from his tummy to his back, but lately he has been on a strike from that. We are trying to help him remember how to do it again ;) Just today he actually started to role from his back to his tummy - cool!

| Working with dad this past Tuesday - Dad was Mr. Mom that day while daycare was unavailable. |
Speaking of changing tables... that is where we spend a lot of time. Obviously, we have a big boy and lots of poops, but we have a lot of our play time on the table also. He loves to 'kick, kick, kick!" and flail his arms. We had to move the wipes container off the pad because he kept kicking it over the edge. On the changing table is where we get the most laughs, talking, playtime with overhead toys, practice sitting up, reading our memory verses, containing his flying urine (!), and wrestling to put on whatever remaining clothes he has that still fit him! He is generally wearing 6 month clothing, and if used...9 month clothing! He has a long, long torso and short chubby legs and 'cankles'. We do a lot of singing here too! He has moved past "Baa baa blacksheep" to bigger and better songs. His favorite toys are his giraffe, his puppy satin blanket thing, his rattle soft blocks, and the lights on the playmat. His eyes stick like glue to the television if it happens to be on so we try to not have that on much! He doesn't like taking a bath yet, but he does love being wrapped in his yellow, Ducky towel.

| Auntie Fidder's birthday! |
Mom went back to work part-time (Tues, Thurs, Fri) the beginning of April, and I would say Bubsie is adjusting just fine. He has settled into a routine for the most part and is sleeping great. In general, his last feeding is 10:15pm and he wakes up again at 6:30-7am to start our day. We feed, dress him, and daddy drives him to daycare. One day a week I get to stay home until 10am and then I drive him. He gets extra special grammie and grandpa time on Tuesday evenings until dad gets home. Of course, things are a little hectic/intense when juggling a job, baby, house, husband, etc...and boy does Caleb get heavy! J/K....bad joke.
