Today was interesting as I had a lady come up to me in the grocery store and ask me "how old is your baby?" I proceeded to tell her that he is 13 months old today! She told me she had a 9 month old grandson and then she basically asked me what developmental things Caleb is doing...well, I explained to her that he has had two heart surgeries in the last year, so we are a little behind. She was shocked and thought he looked so good for having heart surgery just 3 weeks ago. Guess it at least got us off the developmental subject - esp. since Caleb is not even sitting up on his own yet! Oh well...all in due time. Hopefully once he feels better from his surgery and gets to moving around more, he will catch up quickly. So at 13 months - Caleb is rolling! No sitting up, crawling, walking or eating table foods (he only has one tooth!), but hey, he made it through his major heart surgery with flying colors!! That is something worth being thankful for at 13 months! :)
As for surgery recovery...he is still doing well. We have to carry him around like a sack of potatoes for another 5 weeks, but he at least had no complications. He continues to not sleep very well, but hopefully that is coming soon.
Thank you for all the meals, prayers, cards and words of encouragement you have provided us over the last 13 months! Here's to another 13....YEARS...and then some! :)
As you can see in the first picture, Caleb's favorite thing is his feet! His brings them up to his face and past his ears ALL the time...they are truly his favorite toy! He is quite the flexible one!
