Here is a 3D pic of the baby. The head starts from the top with the eyes and nose and mouth on the left side up against the side. The baby likes to snuggle already! The pictures will become more defined later in pregnancy.
This is a photo of the baby's face, it is 2D and that is the reason for the "skeletal" look. The head is going from right to left, the top of the head is on the right, and the chin is on the left.
The photo that everyone really cared about on our trip to the OB Doctor. The top is the baby's back. Her legs are on the side, there is an arrow pointing out the space between the legs where there are no "boy parts." Yeah! it's a girl!!!!!
But, once we got to the crass's for our annual small group halloween party on the driveway, we went inside for a diaper change and instead of asking, we just dressed him in tigger..... stinkin cute, huh!
these next great pics are thanks to our good friend tracy who went on the trick-or-treating adventure with us and got some good shots for us. here is caleb before the trick-or-treating, just running up and down the sidewalk. the little sock hopper in the back of the pic is kate. it's at her house that we have small group and had the annual halloween party in the drive way. for more pics of the party, you can visit tracy's blog at http://tracyandmark.blogspot.com/
...and he got a sucker very early on and didn't understand that waiting to eat it stuff, so he snacked on a green apple dum-dum for the evening, which got knocked out of his hand at one point by a herd of stampeeding school-aged kids. although this was pretty traumatic, nathan fixed it by licking off the dirt - thanks for saving the night, dad!
He was super excited about the tractor that pulled us to the pumpkin patch and ended up being more interested in running through the patch announcing "a pumpkin" "another pumpkin" than actually picking a pumpkin. But we picked one and Nathan carved Tigger on it, which is also what Caleb was for halloween.... stay tuned for that.
He is eating one of Teagan's super halloweeny cake bites - it looks like a pumpkin. He was this excited about it the whole time he ate it.
This is my cousin John and his new wife Lindsay. This is the wedding we went to in Portland, OR in August. We had a great relaxing time (without Caleb) except for me starting the pregnant sickness on the trip out there. Despite that, we had a great time with our family. Here's the girls who were there L-R: aunt Janet, cousin Kayla (sis of groom), aunt Karen (mom of groom), me, Carla (my mom)
This is just too funny not to share. Nathan broke out his swimming goggles with the intention of doing laps at the gym. The goggles haven't made it to the gym yet, but Caleb found them and had to try them on. He spent a good half hour running back and forth from the bedroom (nathan) and the living room (me) showing us the googles, as if they were new each time!
