Caleb's First Christmas

We have had so much fun over the last 2 weeks. Caleb loved every moment of his first Christmas, as did Andy and I. Below are pictures from the time we spent celebrating with our families.

Caleb got a Radio Flyer wagon from Uncle Dan. I'm sure we'll be taking many walks with that!

Grandma and Caleb waiting to see Santa.

The new door-way jumper from Grandma and Grandpa Zellers is a big hit. He spends a lot of time bouncing!

Caleb tried Peas for the first time...he is not a fan!

I new Illinois State jersey to wear when we cheer on the Redbirds!

The bows were a favorite of Caleb's this Christmas!

Helping Grandpa unwrap....

He wasn't sure about sharing a chair with the big guy in red, but he warmed up to Santa eventually.

We hope you had as much joy in your holiday as we did. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! We hope you all enjoyed your day as much as we did. Here is a video of Caleb enjoying one of his new toys from Grandma and Grandpa Zellers. He'll loose that baby fat in no time movin' and shakn' in this thing! We'll post more of our first family Christmas soon!

Go Redbirds!!

Caleb attended his first ISU basketball game Tuesday night and he LOVED it! We had great seats thanks to our neighbors, first row, right in front of the cheerleaders. He behaved very well and made it through the entire game cheering the 'Birds on to another victory.


Caleb also caught the attention of the camera man, and was on the big screen. This provoked an "aaaawwww!!" from the crowd!

Dad and Caleb at half time, getting up close to the action!

We had to bundle up to go back to the car. He wasn't sure what was happening. This is the first time he's be taken in anywhere with out being in his car seat carrier.

We think this will be the first of many basketball games. We may have a little Redbird fan!

Green Beans

This week we tried a little bit of green beans. He has decided they are not nearly as good as cereal with graham crackers. The video below says it best!

Caleb also went to the Dr. yesterday for his 4 month appointment. He weighed in at 15bls 13oz and 25 1/2 in long. He is in the 75th percentile! The Dr. said he's doing great, and she thinks he is very handsome. He got 2 shots and didn't cry until after the second one. He looked at me, like "Mom, how could you let this happen?". A big hug and a few pats on the back and he was over it.

Caleb's 1st Thanksgiving

We spent Caleb's first Thanksgiving with Andy's family in Valparaiso, IN. Caleb got to play with all kinds of new toys thanks to his cousins Noah, Gavin, and Olivia. He REALLY liked the jumper/swing.
Grandma and Grandpa had as much fun as he did!

This is Caleb and and his cousin Olivia, they played for the first time on this trip. Olivia is about 3 months older, but I think Caleb may be bigger....he certainly weighs more!

Just hanging out with Grandpa and Aunt Kristen.

This little turkey had a fun, but exausting Thanksgiving!
