So our little man is growing leaps and bounds each day. We celebrated his four month birthday yesterday and are enjoying every moment(almost) during this faze. Once again we are faced with trying to get him to learn new things while holding on to the moments with him the way he is now.
He is quickly learning how to sit up on his own without too much help. He still likes to throw his head back to make mom nervous though. We have also enjoyed trying to teach him to stand. He really enjoys trying this out and doesn't tire easily. We can definitely tell that he has his mom's determination. After having some trouble lately with feeding him, we were informed that he is probably ready to try some "big boy foods". We attempted rice cereal last night and found that it is not a good idea to try something new when he is tired and hungry. Our daycare, on the other hand, informed Allison today that they were successful. Our little man devoured a bowl of rice cereal in about 15 minutes! The best part is that he kept the majority of it in his mouth.
So while it's difficult to see him growing so fast, we are enjoying each of these new milestones with so much pride.

Our little talker
Caleb has really been exploring his voice lately. When he's not sleeping, he's talking. He loves the camera so much though that as soon as I try to record him he stops and stares at the camera. Watch the part in the video where we say camera and he immediately looks at it and stops talking.

Growing up
So we had another eventful weekend with Caleb. He is starting to roll over now! We have tried to catch it on video but have been unsuccessful so far. He has become very comfortable on his little tummy and holds his head up the entire time and just looks around.
Allison and I decided to try out the pool on Saturday and it went better than expected. He loved kicking in the water. He wasn't too sure of everything at first but got pretty comfortable with it after a few minutes. We can't wait to take him back and see how he does the second time.
It's amazing how much fun he is right now. Allison and I are both excited to see Caleb exploring new things but it just reminds us that he is growing up so fast. Thank God for cameras because these times seem to be flying by.

From the Sunshine State to the Natural State
After giving my notice to my boss last night, we can now announce to everyone that we are moving back home. Allison and I have truly enjoyed our time in Florida and will always look back and be thankful that we did it. We always had intentions of moving back home at some point and with the addition of Caleb into our family we decided now is the time. We look forward to introducing everyone to Caleb and can't wait to share the great moments that we have had with him with our family and friends.
Florida has allowed Allison and I some really great memories and I'm sure that we will miss some of the luxuries of living in this state. We will definitely look forward to coming back for vacations in the future.
While the beaches here are beautiful to look at, I miss waking up to the smell of the campfire by the lake. As exciting as it is to pull in a flounder off the pier, it's nothing like a trout out of the Little Red. While we have greatly enjoyed our friends here, there is nothing like a family barbeque back home.
We can't wait to spend time with our friends back home and are looking forward to Caleb hanging out with Aidan and Ellie.
So to everyone in Florida, thank you for some very special memories and some really great times.
To everyone in Arkansas, we are counting the days until we are able to call the hogs with you again!!
