Introducing Callum

[LA]

I've had a lot going on in the past year with family and things. It's taken me away from the forum a lot, and I just haven't had the energy at the end of the day to come on here. My daughter who is now 2.5 is full of energy and crazy (in a great way however). Some of you know that I became pregnant last year and in March I had our son Callum. That also attributed to my exhaustion LOL.
My rat #'s have been decreasing and for the first time in 5 years I'm ratless. We are taking a break for now because I feel that I personally just can't care for them as well as I used to with a 2.5 year old and a 2 month old. I need to focus on my kids first. I look really forward to having them again, but want to do it as a family thing once both kids are older.

Callum was born on March 24 with a very short labor... and I thought Esamae came fast. He was a healthy 7lbs and is now at 2 months over 10lbs (I find out in two weeks how much he's gained.

I wanted to introduce him to you.

Callum

And of course Esamae at 2.5 years.

Sweet little family!

Lovely kids!! So nice to see you back for a Forum visit. Congratulations on Callum's birth. Is Esamae happy to be a big sister?

It is a shock to see Esamae -- she was just a baby the last time I saw her photo. She is such a beautiful little girl.

So now you have rugrats instead of pet rats. No wonder you need a break from pets, with your kids at the ages where they need a huge amount of your time.

Maybe we should have a special section (Rugrats?) for news of people's kids. I enjoy the updates. Hope you'll drop in here when you get the chance.

So cute!

Esamae LOVES being a big sister, she shares pretty well (except for her stollar LOL). She comes home and immediately asks where her brother is and goes to say hi to him. She's a good big sister.

They are both so sweet. I love the toddler stage...so fun and yes very tiring....

You must be exhausted! They both look great, happy and healthy

Love them! Can't wait to meet little Callum and see Esamae again!

The kids are adorable.

Congratulations!

beautiful children!!

I second the "rug rats" idea, it's fun seeing the baby photos and then the ones as they grow, it all happens so fast!
