Mississippi

This past weekend, Caleb got to meet his extended family on Ben's mom's side.  Ben grew up in Mississippi and moved to Texas when he was 10 right before 5th grade.  We went to Tupelo where his grandparents and two of his aunts live.  We decided to fly instead of make the 11 to 12 hour drive.  I was a little nervous as to how he would do on the plane but he did great!  This kid just continues to amaze us.

In case you can't tell, Caleb took about 2 naps in a bed over the 4 days we were in MS.  He's such a cuddle bug and at this point would rarely turn down a nap in the lap.  Precious boy.

Miller fell in love with Caleb and was glued to him.  During dinner on Saturday, he told Aunt Pam who was holding Caleb, "I'm not really eating much, I can hold him!".  

I did worry a little bit if Caleb would sleep in a crib again when we got back or if it would be a battle, but he actually did great on Tuesday when we got back and took a 3 hour nap in his pack'n'play!  I think he was thankful to have his own space and was tuckered out from all the new people and excitement.

We tried to keep with our normal routines as much as we could so we attempted to do bath time.  Caleb plus the little sponge filled up the entire sink and barely left any room for water.  But whatever we did worked because he slept well until the last night.
