Hungry baby will eat you

I'm not sure if it's just my baby, or if other mom's deal with this too, but when Caleb is hungry...he has an EAR piercing scream that does NOT stop until the bottle is in his mouth. One minute he is happy smiling, kicking his feet, bouncing in his chair, and then all of a sudden an internal alarm must go off that says "WARNING! HUNGER! SCREAM AS LOUD AS YOU CAN!".

Caleb eats about 8 oz of formula almost every TWO hours. He is so incredibly hungry that I believe he is invaded by demons when he's eating, or as my mom would say "IN THE ZONE". I don't know what formula tastes like, but I know it smells awful...I wouldn't want to eat it, but since he knows nothing else, he can suck down an 8oz bottle in 15 minutes. "Insatiable" is the word that most would use to describe Caleb.

Not surprisingly , Caleb's dad (My Fiancée) can eat a large pizza in one sitting along with a milkshake, and only weigh's an annoying 175 pounds at a height of almost 6'6. I want to punch him.

I can eat a peice of sugarless gum and add 5 pounds to my ass, and Alan can eat a pint of ben and jerry's and three chocolate chip waffles and lose weight. Wtf?

Anyway, I've figured that once caleb can eat real people food I am in for it, if he's screaming now , I can only imagine that the screaming will turn into tantrums and the tantrums will turn into severe attitude in his teenage years. GREAT.

Here's to never running out of ziplock bags filled with snacks.

R2D2?

sitting here getting caleb ready for a bath, I could have SWORN he made sounds that were identical to that of R2D2!

The Science of Changing a Diaper.

If you have a son you know what I'm talking about. They always seem to have impeccable timing AND aim just for that SPLIT second you're uncovered and vulnerable to their stream. I've seen mom's do all kinds of things to protect themselves from an unwanted shower from below, but the best and without a doubt funniest method of protection is the

If you aren't laughing at this, then you have no sense of humor and must be a cold frozen being.

squealing like a pig

Being a new mom is without a doubt , the hardest job in the whole world. With the frustration, hopelessness , and down right insanity also comes FUN! Every day there are new discoveries, new sounds, new movements, new areas of control! Babies are so crazy because you never know what they are going to do next!
Caleb just turned 3 months, and in an effort to keep a record of his developments in a way that matches the times he will live in, I am starting this blog. I am not writing this for anyone else, so if you do happen to read it, and it's boring, I apologize.

Three days ago I woke up to a scream that made me think something was wrong. I dashed out of bed and over to Caleb's crib where surprisingly he was laying there, sucking on his hand , happy as a clam. Apparently this new shriek that is almost always only fully audible by the dogs, is his new way of communicating happiness. If you take a squealing pig, a dog whistle, and a baby dinosaur, and shake them up in a plastic bag you will have the sound that Caleb has been making....CONTINUOUSLY since he figured out he Could. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really going to complain because if he's not crying, he can make any noise he want's and I'll be happy! I will say that I've been asked 3 times in the past week by the person on the other end of the phone if there was an emergency after hearing his shrieking loud and clear. I guess he does sort of resemble a siren....
also sometimes I think he might be Spanish because he makes lots of rolling R sounds.
Did I get the right baby?
