Wade's 30th Birthday was yesterday and we celebrated it on Saturday with a cook-out. He is such a great Hubbie and Dad, it was a great time to celebrate him and all he means to us. It was also NFL Draft Day so we all wore our Panther's gear as we watched parts of the draft.
I made Wade's favorite, coconut cake.
Caleb loved the balloons!
Happy Birthday Dad!
Wade, Caleb, and Uncle Paul
Today I went into his room during his nap to get his clothes and I found him with his foot stuck in the side- so much for bumpers!
I guess he was comfortable because he fell asleep without a peep.
We have loved walking up to the playground and Hangin Out lately. Caleb loves the swings. Here are just a few pictures from this weekend as we were playing.
I am amazed that nothing ever flies into his mouth because it is ususally open.
We spent last Sunday at my parents in Gastonia. Here are my parents with Caleb (Mimi and Popi)
Caleb is finally at the age were he can interact with Joshua and Sarah more. He is so content just sitting and watching them play around him.
Sarah loves to give him toys and try to make him laugh or say something.

The weather has been so great the past week. So we have been walking up to the playground in our neighborhood. Caleb loves to ride in the stroller. We ususally pass lots of people with their dogs.
He loves to swing. He squeals and shakes his arms and legs.
Caleb was born with 2 hydrasills ( I will spare you the details of these on-line) and so we were unable to have his circumcision when he was born. We have been so blessed to have a great pediatrician that recognized the problems immediately and sent us to a Specialist. Since he turned six months a couple of weeks ago, the Dr. recommended we have the surgery to take care of it all. So, here are a few pictures of our very long day. He had his pre-op done while we were in the room and they gave him a teddy bear to hold (he just eats it).
We had a long wait for the surgeon to arrive and had a challenge distracting him from being so hungry.
He woke up from surgery and immediately we got to go back to see him. I fed him and he quickly relaxed and went back to sleep.
After he ate and slept for a little we were discharged to go home. He was really fussy the rest of the day and slept off and on.
But once he got home he played some but mostly slept. We are so thankful for the Dr. and hospital staff that were so sweet to us and gave Caleb lots of attention.
Caleb's personality is starting to come out and he likes to make many different faces. He likes to open his mouth, make loud squeals and clinch his fits.
Most he puts his lip together like he is whistling.
But then he can always make a happy face for the camera.
I couldn't wait to get a cute family picture of us 3 dressed for Easter. So, our plans were to wake up Easter morning and give Caleb a new fun toy and treats and then head to the Spencer's - but- I woke up about 4:00 am with a severe stomach bug (I will spare you the details). I stayed in bed until lunch time and periodically got up to be with Wade and Caleb. Here he is with his new toy. He woke up with this rash on his face too.
Then by evening Caleb had the stomach bug with a high fever- He was miserable! Then 2 days later Wade had it and 3 days later it hit Caleb and me again!
But he learned to flip over on his belly in the midst of being sick. This is how we find him in the crib now:)
