Before Chase was born when people would say Kaleb was a big boy or talked of him being a big brother he would get mad and upset and say, "I'm not big, I'm little. Daddy's big". But lately he has really grown up.
Kaleb has not only become taller, but has become a "real" helper. I had to take this picture of him doing the dishes, so when he's a teenager and claims he doesn't know how, then I can pull out this picture and tell him that he did when he was three.

Telling Chase all the truths of the world. Chase is eager to learn.
Over Thanksgiving Jason took on the daunting feat of potty training Kaleb. The pediatrician told us to start taking him to the potty every 15 min. I thought that there is no way I am going to do this any time soon seeing that I am breast feeding a 4 week old. But he stuck with it and Kaleb is now potty trained. It was amazing that he really did go every 15 min. Just like everything else this transition seemed pretty easy for him. Although, before we started trying he seemed to want nothing to do with it. I think he finally realized that it was more comfortable sitting in thin dry underwear than a thick wet diaper. I've only had to nurse Chase in the bathroom standing up over Kaleb on the toilet a few times. Ha! He still wears a diaper at night, but usually wakes up in the morning dry. Good Job Big Boy Kaleb!
It was given to us by Jason's mom and sister Amanda.
Ryan is a friend of Jason's from college and his wife Beth is a PTA.
Mark is a friend of Jason's from high school and his hunting buddy. They don't seem to get out as much now that they have four kids combined. Jenny keeps her hands full with Luke and Mary Kate that are near a year 1/2 apart.
Ulla is a great friend of mine and her son Benny will be one this January.
Ellen is a friend who just moved to Knoxville recently and I miss her so much in Nashville. Kaleb is in love with her daughter Abby and was very excited to play with her at the shower.
We were worn out from celebrating with our friends and eating cake but were so glad to be able to celebrate out beautiful son's birth with our friends!
