What a wonderful day of celebrating Caleb's first birthday! I plan to write a longer birthday recap post in a few days, but I just had to share a couple iPhone pics from his big day.
I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. - 1 Samuel 1:27

Wichita
Brad, Caleb and I spent a great weekend with friends in Wichita, KS! The guys played golf while the girls took the kids to Botanica on Saturday afternoon. My future botanist was in Heaven with all the plants! And this morning, Katy and I ran our first half marathon! My time was a little slower than I had hoped but not too bad for my first attempt.

Down Syndrome Awareness Month
October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month! To kick off the month, here are a few pics of my favorite two "chromosomally enhanced" boys. Caleb and Emerson had a great time at the library and then playing at Emerson's house this morning.

Eleven Month Recap
Weight: 17lb 8oz
Length: 27.5"
Clothing size: Mostly 9 month, but he's starting to wear some of his 12 month shirts/pants. He still has teeny tiny feet and wears size 2 infant shoes.
Diaper size: size 3
Eating: Caleb takes four bottles (6-7oz) each day, and he eats purees three times/day. We're still working on teaching him to drink from his straw cup.
Sleeping: Caleb usually goes to sleep around 7:30-8:00pm and wakes up around 6:30-7:00am. He naps a couple times during the day, and those naps are anywhere from 0.5-2 hours.
Highlights of the month: Caleb got his first tooth, and he learned how to clap!

Pumpkin Patch
On Saturday, we went to a pumpkin patch at Wings. The weather was amazing, and it was a perfect day to spend a little time outside.We took lots of photos and purchased a few pumpkins. Caleb rode in a pumpkin train, slid (with assistance) down a slide for the first time, watched some rabbits in their cage, and played with lots of hay. He didn't seem too interested in the pumpkins.
(I took this image from the Wings website. I didn't ask permission, but I figure they don't mind me promoting their event!)
If you need any pumpkins or fall flowers, you should stop by Wings! All of the proceeds benefit their programs/activities for adults with special needs. They are doing amazing work, and I look forward to Caleb being involved there when he's older.

First Tooth
Caleb has his first tooth! I've been thinking that he was teething for a while, even though I've read countless times that children with Down syndrome usually don't get their first tooth until 12-18 months of age. He's been chewing and drooling off and on all summer, and I have felt a little "ridge" or "bump" on his lower gum for the last couple weeks. That little pearly white finally popped through yesterday! I tried several times yesterday evening and this morning to get a photo of it, but Caleb wasn't interested in helping his mama out. So for now, you get a photo of the first entry on the "teething" page in Caleb's baby book!
