I LOVE UNCLE CARLOS!
he's got teeth!!! (yes this pic was forced!)





Well our little (figure of speech) man was 8 months old Sunday! I can't believe how quickly time has passed. The 7th month was a rough one. He had 2 ear infections, a stomach bug and cut 3 teeth. We were at the doctors office more that I wanted to be and the pharmacy knows me really well. We are just now catching up on sleep (so many long nights) and starting to see a happy baby again. Things are looking up for the Callaway family! I finally got to the breaking point and called in the troops. My mom, dad and brother came to visit and help us out. My aunt and grandmother also came for a day and were a big help with Jackson and with comic relief. Carlos came to see us after a trip to the grand canyon and was sooo good with the man. I probably shouldn't have been surprised but you just never know with 19 year old boys. JWC just loved him and Carlos developed a signiture move that made Man stop crying every time! Thanks Los!!



Man is starting to crawl! He can get up on all 4's for a short time but mostly just pushes himself backwards. I guess you have to start somewhere! I should be getting in shape because I have a feeling this kid is going to run us ragged! We are looking forward to all the great times to come as he grows up. We are so blessed to have him and love him so much!

In Uncle Carlos' sweater!

I must apologize for not posting in a while. My office internet blocked this site for a while and it's hard to find time to do it at night. Anyways the man is now 7 months old and weighs in at 22 lbs 4 oz. How do I know such a precise weight? Well it's because we have been to the doctor several times over the past few months because he has had several ear infections. The most recent one came on while we were in Florida visiting Curtis' grandmother, aunt, uncle and cousins. That was a great trip, by the way, except for dealing with man's post travel crankiness! We were delayed on the way home and I thought I might loose my mind but the Lord allowed the time to go by quickly and we survived. So back to ear infections, he's 4 days into his medicine and is doing much better. We're hoping and praying that once spring comes all this sick nonsense will go away! Man and I did have a great time in Florida! It was warm and wonderful weather. As always it was great to see everyone down there, especially Nana who just loved having Jackson around, mainly because she couldn't hear his middle of the night antics :) He was so sweet with Nana - every time she held him he was gentle, still and content, which if you know man is an amazing thing! Hopefully it won't be long before we seet htem all again. This video below is laughers man in the tub - Curtis started throwing a basketball (that I got at a Carolina basketball game in college) against the tub wall and he was loving it!
