Cael | 1 Month

Michigan football game...the list goes on.  You make us smile every single day, without fail.  Mommy is enjoying being home with you on maternity leave, and daddy will be joining us soon.  We have bonded and learned your "Caelisms" that are adorable!  I feel like we should thank you now for being a VERY good baby.  You love everyone almost as much as everyone loves you!  You love to go places with mommy and daddy.  This month we also celebrated your first holiday, Thanksgiving!  Grandma and Grandpa Gilbert came to town to meet you and your cousin Harper.  You still like to nap in the sun almost every morning, and thankfully the Virginia weather has been cooperative.  You like to be in your stroller and on car rides, since it usually puts you right to sleep.  We are starting to see your eyes smile at us, and your quickly turn your head the moment you hear mommy or daddy in the other room.  You certainly do not miss a meal, and mommy is very thankful for that!  At one month, these are your stats:
