4 months old



Wow wasn't it just yesterday that I was writing his 3 month old post?! Time flies when you're having fun with such a cute baby! 4 month stats: 17 and a half pounds and I'm not sure how long he is but I'll get that soon!

Well we have been struck with his first, and hopefully his last, ear infection! Let's hope he's more like Curtis and I in this area and less like his aunts, who had a lot of ear infections. He was super sweet for the most part during this sickness and the only way I really knew he was sick is that he wasn't eating as much, which isn't at all like him! When my mom was keeping him he "cried in pain" once or twice for a while and Martha and Warren said he was pulling at his ear a bit. He's now on antibiotics and is on the mend. Please pray that he's over this before we go, by plane, to DC and Phili for Thanksgiving. I can't imagine having his head hurting changing altitudes. That would be tough to deal with! I'm just thankful that we got through the first sickness rather calmly and it wasn't something frantic that we had to rush to the hospital for! Drama free is how we like it in the Callaway household!


On a more fun note, he still hasn't rolled over. How is that fun you ask? He's moved right past that to other things including sitting up. He can pull himself up in a situp when he is propped up on a pillow. He doesn't stay up without toppling over for more than a couple of seconds but it's progress none the less! I know all of you out there that have more than one are shaking your heads and saying "Typical first timers!". Hey, we are easily amused! I think he will walk before he ever rolls over. Here are some pics of the cuteness!

Yesterday we got our first peice of Man art! It was a turkey with his hands and feet and soooo cute! Thanks to Donna for doing that for us. I used to do that kind of thing all the time when I taught preschool but now I know how much it actually means!


Jackson was also dedicated 2 weeks ago! It was so special to have our parents here to celebrate Jackson's dedication to the church. He was so good and everyone loved the hair as usual! He wore Curtis' dedication outfit so it was special!
Here's more cuteness and sorry Warren I don't mean you! It was great having both sets of grandparents stay for a week and keep the man. I know he loved it too!

Thats hilarious that you call it man art! Ha ha ha. I am sure his sheer body mass is what keeps him from rolling over, I mean he is a big boy!!! I know I say this all the time but I CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS so we can see/play with him....speaking of this can we drive to Dalton and pick the man up so we can spend more time with him?!?!
