Hard to believe he is FOUR YEARS OLD!! Where has the time gone?? It seems like yesterday we got the news that the doctor would induce, that my pelvis had indeed separated too far and delivery was necessary. I remember the day as fun, Jeff and I joking around, playing cards, walking the halls...it wasn't until the last 2 minutes that everything got intense and crazy! We were truly thankful the Lord had his hand on Caleb from the very beginning...there was a time the doctor's weren't sure I would actually carry to term...and then, he was born!
His little life has been filled with one hurdle after another...seems like that is the path all of my children have followed. But, once again, God was faithful and watching out for our little Cub. We finally found the right doctor, at the right time, asked the right questions, figured out the right plan of action and Caleb began to grow like a weed! Once being in the 2nd percentile for height and weight, then jumping to the 60th...only to have to face yet another obstacle! But, God was faithful before and will be faithful again!
Our little Cub is a special little boy. Filled with so much laughter and personality! There was a time we prayed that we would be able to understand what our son said, now the things that come out are absolutely hysterical I cry from laughing just about every day. Including yesterday, his 4th birthday. I baked him some allergen-free cookies (he'll get a cake on Saturday at his party) and Jeff asked him how his cookies were...he replied "SCRUMPTIOUS Dad!" Too funny!! Not 'they're good, they're yummy', nope, scrumptious!
My dad came up on Monday to put together the new swing set my parents bought the kids for their combined birthday present (all of their birthdays are with in a month or so of each other!)...the kids were SO excited they couldn't wait until the set was put together, so Pap Pap did what grandpa's do and set the slide up on the stairs so they could try it out!!
We will celebrate again on Saturday when some of Caleb's little friends come over to sing "Happy Birthday"...it will be another fun day of celebrating this little gift from God! We are truly blessed to have Caleb in our lives and truly blessed at the way God continues to touch his little life. We look forward to seeing what God has in store for him in the future!!
