What we love (& miss) about you...
C - character. Caleb you had an amazing personality! You never cried about much of anything. You fussed if you were hungry or tired and that was about it. You loved it when someone was holding you or sitting next to you...esp. your brother or sister.
A - agility. You were more flexible then any little guy we had ever met. Your feet were always up by your head and you LOVED them there. I think you hated sitting up so much because you could not have your feet/legs up where you liked them the best.
L - laugh. You had the most infectious laugh. No matter how hard or busy one of our days was together...your laugh and smile wiped it all away.
E - EYES! Your eyes were the most beautiful blue. They were more beautiful then the most perfect sapphire gem! We received so many compliments regarding your eyes.
B - bounce. You LOVED bouncing away in your bouncy seat. You are the only one of our three that could bounce that seat by yourself or cared to anyway. You would bounce and bounce and bounce yourself until we were motion sick.
*****
A - attention. You got attention everywhere we went. Those that were even complete strangers would stop and talk to you and ask all about you. You were certainly stealing your older sisters thunder. ;) You made so many smile without even knowing you personally.
N - nestle. You could cuddle with the best of them and boy did we love to hold you and cuddle you when you were sleeping...well, anytime for that matter! You loved to have our faces right up next to yours...cheek to cheek.
D - DS! After the initial shock wore off that you had Down Syndrome, we felt truly blessed and honored that we were called to be parents to such a special and amazing child!
R - rolling...rolling...rolling. Once you mastered rolling over, you certainly never stopped when you were on the floor. Up there with rolling...Raspberries! You loved to blow raspberries at us any time, esp. when you were eating or suppose to be swallowing medicine!
E - endurance! You overcame SO many odds and obstacles to even be born, let alone your 414 days here with us. You endured two open heart surgeries with flying colors! Will always wonder where that nasty infection came from that took you from us. Even your favorite cardiologist said it is unusual for it to come on so late after heart surgery. You fought it for 12 days none the less!
W - wonderful...you were certainly beautifully and wonderfully made! This momma cannot wait to hold you again...

Video shown at Caleb's service...
A celebration of Caleb's 414 days on this earth. We are so blessed to have been his parents. We don't know why he had to leave us so quick, but we know that God is in control. He is God and we are not and we trust that he knows what he is doing. Many thanks to Steven Curtis Chapman for writing such a beautiful song...
Link to Caleb's video that his daddy put together for the service...

This is the video that played during the service, this is not the video OF Caleb's service. We do not have that yet.
