I will never forget this day as long as I live. It was 10am and Caleb and Lily were on the floor playing just like any other morning. Caleb's little chair tipped over and he fell face 1st into the fireplace! His mouth hit the stone. I rushed over to him and rolled him over and his entire mouth was filled with blood. I was so scared I ran him to the kitchen with my hand under his mouth to catch the blood. I threw him in the sink clothes and all!!! When I got the blood to stop I realized he had a very deep gash on the corner of his mouth. I mean it was deep enough for you lay the side of his mouth open! I called my Nana to come sit with Lily and Christian so I could take Caleb to the doctor. When I got to his Dr's office they took one look at him and told me that he needed to go to the ER and get stitches. So we drove over to the hospital and had to sit for a few min but they took him right back. We waited in a room for about 15min and the Dr finally came in and by that time Caleb was already pissed because he couldn't get down and run around. They wrapped him in a pillow case and strapped him down to a hospital bed and stuck a huge needle into his cut and all around his lip to numb it. He was screaming bloody murder! As the Dr was stitching up his face he was screaming and looking at me like "mom why are you letting them do this to me." I was crying!! I didn't notice until we got to the hospital that his tooth is broken! So after he was all stitched up the Dr told me to follow up with a dentist this week. I got him an apt at a local dentist on Thursday. We don't have dental insurance so I hope it wont cost us an arm and a leg but we will see!! Ill pay anything for him though. Money is no object when it comes to his health. Ill take out a loan if I have to!! He is actually doing okay today I am givin g him motrin for the pain and he is eating well so I am proud of my tough little man!

Christmas Tree

I finally got our Christmas tree up!! I usually am going Christmas crazy by now this time of year but I had to force myself to do anything this year. Maybe because we are so tight for money? Not sure!

Caleb is in love with his Christmas tree. He keeps saying "oOoOoO NaNNEY"(mommy) He is pointing and laughing and dancing. I love watching him enjoy himself. I can't wait for him to tear into his gifts! I want to start wrapping a little here and there so its not so overwhelming all at once and it will save my back!!

Caleb 13months

I see by the pic to the left that my date on my camera is messed up ha ha!! Caleb turned 13 months on Monday! He is more of a handful than I ever thought my Lil man ever would be!! You can't turn your back on him for 1 second. He is smart though. Maybe too smart for his own good. I thought him how to give Eskimo kisses the other day!! He shakes his head back and fourth and presses his nose to yours! His daddy gets a kick out of it!! Whenever anyone walks through the door he says "HI"!! Hes a happy baby and I am thankful for that. He has been getting his Lil butt popped on a regular basis lately it hurts my feelings but I feel that hes getting out of control FAST!! I am scared to put up our Christmas tree this year!! How I would keep him out of it?? I would have to put him in a cage ha ha!! JK! This past week he is trying to cut more teeth and his little face is broke out and he is miserable with a runny nose. He now has 4 on top and 2 on the bottom...I have a feeling that his "I" teeth are trying to pop through because this is the worst teething experience so far.

Thanksgiving was great this year. It was small and intimate. I bought 2 turkeys and a ham so I was happy to have provided the meat for the dinner made me feel good. Mom thought me how to cook all her secret thanksgiving food :) Carl and I ate so much food we were worthless for a few hours. Caleb had 2 slices of turkey and 1 slice of ham and 2 dinner rolls ha ha he was stuffed!! He couldn't fall asleep fast enough.

Midnight on Thanksgiving Mom, Shelby and I went to St. Aug outlet mall and went black Friday shopping! I was so tired the next day but Caleb let mommy sleep until 10am!!! That's the latest hes ever slept and it couldn't have come on a better morning. We didn't get home until 4 that morning and Carl got up and went fishing with my dad early so it was just pookie and I and we slept in I was SO thankful for that!!
