Caleb Thompson's birth

Home | caleb at 12 months | About My Family | Helpful Links | Contact Me

Caleb arrived on Feb. 25, 2004 around 7:30 p.m. Caleb
was 9.lbs 4oz, so yes he was a big baby. I was the first to hold him because my
wife was so weak and doped up until I don't think that she realizes that she had
just had a baby. When I first held him it was a feeling that I had never felt
before. I was fighting my tears I didn't want anyone to see me cry. Caleb's
arrival was the best day of my life. It was the best feeling in the world to
know that Caleb came from me. The feeling was like a football player scoring his
first touchdown, like a coach wining his first championship, like a teacher
wining the teacher of the year award, like bride on her wedding day. He was so
beautiful and innocent, he had gray eyes his skin was so bright smooth. When I
first spoke to him he opened his eyes and looked at me as if he knew my voice.
It seemed as if he felt so secure when heard my voice. 


 Caleb at 1 monthCaleb first month he didn't sleep at all at night. It
was like he had his days and nights mixed up. He would sleep all day long and
when night came it was time to be awake. My wife and I never got any rest.
Actually my wife got more sleep than I did because I had to get up in the
morning and go to school. I never could stay awake in class, but my teacher
understood so she didn't give me a hard time( I think God for that). I gave up
on rest I never thought I would get it again. He sure did eat a lot, He ate
every 2 hours like clock work. When he cried it was either he was hungry or he
needed to be change, he was very easy to be pleased. Caleb would get about 3hrs
a sleep at night, so you know how I felt the next morning. He was still a good
baby, he would smile in his sleep, as if he was having a good dream. He would
always awaken with a cry, I guess that was to let us know that it was time to
eat. 

Caleb at Six months

At six months Caleb was beginning to make sounds
like da da. Caleb was also beginning to reach for people he knew( especially
mommy). At this time Caleb was beginning to show more and more emotions. He was
getting real chubby and wanted to put any and everything in his mouth. He had
already start crawling and getting into everything, which kept me and wife good
shape because we had to chase him where ever he went. At six months caleb is
actually sleeping through the night which is a good thing. The trick is the last
bottle we give him before it is sleep time, we put a little cereal in it so his
belly will stay full for a long time.
