The Coombs Family

I was working from home on Friday when I received a phone call from Caleb. "Renae, apparently I wrecked my motorcycle." I asked him where he was and what I needed to do, and his reply was, "Renae, apparently I wrecked my motorcycle." Then I asked him where he was and he had no idea. I heard someone talking in the background and I asked if I could speak to who he was with, and his reply was "Renae, apparently I wrecked my motorcycle." After about 20 of those responses I could hear the lady with Caleb saying she was taking him to St Vincent ER. That's all I needed to hear, I jumped in my car, just in time to sit in traffic. I wanted to get to the ER as fast as I could but Memorial weekend vacationers felt otherwise. By the time I got to the hospital Caleb was all checked in and had his room. His memory was about 10 seconds for the first hour and I proceeded to answer the same questions over, and over. "Renae, how long have you been here? Where am I?...

We were all pregnant at the same time and now we all have babies. Nobody is pregnant anymore and we are so glad! We got together for a party and took some pictures but not all of the girls could make it with their babies. Here are some of my favorite shots of the kids and the dads with their babies. Some of the dads ended up getting a lot of puke in their hair by the time the photo shoot was over, but it made it a lot more enjoyable for the moms.

She loves to hold herself up and stand now. She is so proud of herself when she can climb up things and stand up. The view must be better up there.

Shelby learned how to clap for me on moms day. We were sitting in church and she just started clapping. We had been working on it all week and it finally paid off. She clapped all day long whenever said YEAH!!! It was the perfect gift.

Little Shelby Lu is not so little anymore. We had her 6 month check up and she is maintaining her large head and weight. She's not growing very tall, but look at the genes she has! She got to start eating food and we started her with sweet peas. She basically hates it, but has fun spitting it all over the place. She's 18.5 pounds ~ in the 87th percentile Her height is 26 inches ~ the 50th percentile Her head is 18 1/4 inches ~ still off the charts She already goes from sitting, to down on her hands and knees, and back to sitting up. She props up on furniture and stands all the time too. She can't pull herself to standing, but if we help, she is happy to be up there. She loves to go in swings at the park and pull out grass.

Shelby had a wonderful first Easter. We went with friends to their grandparents house and had a Mexican style Easter party. It was awesome. Amazing food, tons of eggs stuffed with confetti that we smashed on each others heads, a ton of people and lots of dessert. What more could she ask for? Thanks Josh for letting us crash your family party!

Shelby has fallen in love with brushing her teeth. She gets so excited when she sees the tooth brush coming her way. Caleb is pretty sure that I should brush her teeth each time she eats. I think we all know that's never going to happen. I don't even brush my own teeth that much.
