Overall things have been pretty regular here at the Green house. After struggling for ages to get Callum to enjoy tummy time, he's finally starting to decide it's not so bad after all:

Callum did finally learn a new trick on the 22, which we finally captured on video. Minus doing it once at our Bible study, he's still pretty shy about showing off for everyone else, so at least we have this to share:

Anyone want to fight?
Come on. I'll even fight you with one hand in my mouth!
Tomorrow is my first day back to work, which I'm not looking forward to, although Callum will have loads of fun with Auntie M and Grandma. And with a face like this, how could they not be ecstatic to get to watch him?

3 months old!

I can't believe Callum is three months old already. The time seems to be flying past, and judging by his eating schedule from this past weekend he is right on track for his three month growth spurt. He has been very active lately and his favorite activities are still playing on his play mat and sitting in his bouncy seat. He laughs all the time, especially when someone makes funny faces or blows raspberries at him.
Last week he finally received his two month shots and he did really well with them. He screamed during the shot, but as soon as they were done and I picked him up, he was fine and started laughing at the nurse. He took a really long nap afterwards and then acted like normal after that, so I'm very thankful I did not spend the day dealing with a cranky baby.
Just in the last few days he has really started to "talk" to himself and other people. He will spend ages making noises and having conversations, even if no one is around to listen to him.
On the one downside, he still refuses to nap in his crib for us. He took an hour nap in there on Saturday for my parents, so we thought he was finally getting used to the idea of naps there, so we were ready to try on Sunday and have a blissful hour or two. After four failed attempts, however, and an overly tired crying baby in the middle of the Colts game, we finally gave up. There's always another day at least.

Here are some pictures to help catch up on what we've been up to lately.

Helping Dad cheer on UofL:
His baptism on January 10. He did a really good job and didn't fuss during the baptism at all. And no, Scott and I did not intentionally dress to match (although turquoise is the color for 2010!):

A Long Overdue Update

I know I said before I would try to update this more often, but that obviously hasn't happened. We've been very busy, but hopefully now life will slow down at least a little bit before it gets busy again when I go back to work soon. Since it's been so long, I'll highlight the important milestones and events in our life as best I can remember. I'll attach some pictures of events soon.
*Callum successfully survived multiple Christmas celebrations and has the large stash of toys to show for it--however, his favorite toys right now are his hands and feet. I know eventually he will love to play with all of the toys and some do manage to hold his interest for a few minutes at a time. *We spent Christmas in Louisville celebrating with Scott's family and then headed back up to Franklin to spend a couple of days with my family.
*Callum had his two month checkup. As of December 28 he weighed 10 lbs., 6 oz., jumping from the 10th percentile at birth to the 25th percentile, so he's obviously eating well. He is also generally a happy baby unless he's hungry or tired and smiles often. He currently is fascinated with sucking on his hands, and has a great fascination with lights and ceiling fans, even when they're not on. (But it's at least cheap and easy entertainment since no matter what, we can always find a light somewhere!)
*Except for a couple of slip-ups, Callum has also been essentially sleeping through the night, which I am extremely thankful for, and the doctor was quite surprised and impressed with this. He usually does not like going to bed before 9:30 or 10:00 p.m, but he will then sleep to anywhere between 4 and 6 a.m. He does not like to sleep much during the day which means I am quite the entertainer and do not get much accomplished, but I'll take that if it means I sleep more at night.
*Callum was baptized today. He had lots of family and friends present for the baptism, and did very well. He didn't even flinch when the pastor put the water on his head and managed to keep his outfit clean throughout the entire service, which was impressive.
