He's In the Army Now

Justin left for Army boot camp this afternoon.  He had some great going-away gifts and celebrations before he left, though. 

Picture someone drew on the whiteboard at his work.

The card the folks at work signed for him.

"Its not fruit punch its freedom punch. You don't deserve any of my delicious freedom punch."  (That was one of Justin's co-workers imitation of Justin!)

Going away dinner: Chicken fried steak with gravy,
mashed potatoes, beans, and iced tea in a mason jar

His recruiter put in his notes that he was highly motivated and had excellent leadership skills.

He seems to understand the word "kisses" and will turn his head and open his mouth when he hears it.

There is a little anxiety this week because his hearing test results showed that he needed to be retested.  

And his "baby" hair started falling out this week.

March, 2011

Cale started off this week not wanting to get up to eat.  He would just grunt and roll over and go back to sleep when Marci tried to wake him for a feeding.

March 22, 2011

 This week he weighed 8 lbs. 13 oz. even though he was having some trouble with spitting up, and he is is already trying to roll over!

 He had lots of friends and family come visit this week!

Baby Pictures - Part Deux

Cale's second week pictures. 

March 13, 2011

Cale had to have a little bloodwork done this week to double-check his bilirubin.  Thank goodness it all turned out ok! 

 

Marci had a hard time grocery shopping this week, because she got stopped every two minutes for everyone to oooh and aaah over Cale!

He seemed to get a little clingy this week, too!

It's a Boy!

Baby Cale was born March 5, 2011.  He weighed 7 lbs. 14.5 oz. 
Here are pictures from his first week! 

Cale and Corky

Cale and Marci

He is a little bit jaundiced.

Laying in the "tanning bed"

 

Marci and Corky heard Cale making a poopy, and gave him sometime to finish. Corky went to change him but he left the wipes upstairs so he went to get them. Suddenly Cale projectile poops and Marci's screaming for help while everyone is laughing. He then peed a gallon while they were scrambling to clean everything up and projectile pooped AGAIN! They had just got done bathing him!
