2nd Anniversary - June 17th

These have been 2 of the best years of my life. I have been blessed with an amazing husband!

Father's Day

Father's Day was great. We headed to East Texas and went to church with Marc's Pawpaw and dad, then headed to my parents' for dinner. Marc, I love watching you with our son. You are an amazing father.
3 generations of Rose dads!

Got Milk?

I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago and just had to post them. They crack me up every time I see them....

2 Months Old!

Our little boy is growing so fast. We went to the pediatrician yesterday for his 2 month check up and I was floored at how much he has grown. I knew he was getting heavy, but I didn't expect the scale to show 13 pounds and 11 ounces!!! He's 23 and 3/4 inches long. That means he's gained 6 pounds and 4 inches since he was born, in just 2 short months! Caleb is starting to hold his head up really well, he definitely knows who his momma is, and he's smiling lots! Words can't describe the joy when your precious child looks you right in the eye and gives you a big toothless grin! This is a picture after his doctor visit. He got 4 shots and hardly cried!
Caleb's favorite thing is still to sleep on his mom or dad....mom at night...dad for naps. But he is getting much better about sleeping on his own at night, too.

He's getting so big!

The MANY Faces of Caleb...

We've been told we have a very expressive child...

I love those smiles!!!



Perhaps he'll be a boxer one day...

His belly is so big the shirt wouldn't stay down!

That bottom lip comes out just before he cries. We can't help but laugh!

The infamous hungry face, also known as the "Mini-Me" Face. He does it nearly every time he's ready to eat.

Graduation...Finally!

On Saturday, May 10th I graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary with a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies. It was one of the best days for me and gave the closure I needed. The past 4 1/2 years have been such a time of challenge and growth. There were times when I never thought I'd finish. In July when I found out I was pregnant, I thought I would never get the degree, but God has been so faithful. In the midst of taking care of a newborn, He gave me the strength to be able to write a couple more papers in order to graduate! (though I would not recommend that strategy!) I want to say thank you to family and and friends who have been so supportive during this time. The financial support, prayers, understanding, and patience when I was so ridiculously busy have been an incredible blessing to me.

Caleb is 1 month old!

Most days it does not feel like a month has already passed! Caleb has grown so much. At 2 1/2 weeks he had gained 2 pounds and 2 inches from birth! So now at 1 month there's no telling how much he's gained. He's atleast 10 pounds. He loves bath time, mostly I think because it soothes his tummy. The pediatrician thinks he has acid reflux, and it's definitely obvious at times that his stomach is hurting. We hope he grows out of that one. He has also started smiling and loves to look at faces... and he still loves to sleep on mom more than anywhere else, especially at night! Oh, and he's now almost completely bald!
