Aug 6, 2011 Caleb's 2nd Birthday

Saturday was Caleb's 2nd birthday! He and Mom & Dad spent the day at the Discovery Museum, eating pizza, and enjoying ice cream.

Big enough to climb the rock wall now!

Picking out shapes and colors at the light box.

Caleb loves the water table!

Evidently Dad does too!!

This is a giant climbing thing that he's always been a little cautious of. Mom and Dad are nervous that if he ever climbs up in there we may not get him out!!

Sweetcorn & Summertime!

There's nothing quite like sweetcorn and summertime! Grandma and Grandpa Zellers were up for dinner and Caleb was sharing his sweetcorn.

He's lovin' it!

Summertime!!

Summer is in full swing at the Zellers' house!! We've been busy playing, visiting friends, and swimming! Caleb has a frog pool in the backyard that he loves to jump in and out of, as well as a big sprinkler. He's not as sure about the sprinkler, because the water is always chilly.

Trying to grab a drink to cool down!

No matter what he's doing, there's usually a ball of some sort involved.

Sharing Mom's lap with his friend Chloe. Almost nap time...

All the girls and all their kids. Not a chance we'll get everyone looking the same way!

We went to Canton to visit Caleb's friend Reid at his Grandma and Grandpa Gall's cabin. The boys had a great time, they are just a few weeks apart in age.

Peeking through the fence of the pumpkin patch.

Nothing like a lazy afternoon on the porch swing!

Florida 2011

Our first big family vacation went great! We had a lot of fun just hanging out at the beach, swimming at the pool, and soaking up some sun.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Waiting patiently for some ice cream.

Jumping some waves with Dad.

When we finally got Caleb to wear his sunglasses, he thought he was pretty cool!

Looking for airplanes...

We played A LOT of basketball in the pool.

At first, he didn't want the sand touching his feet. It took a trip or two to the beach before he warmed up to the whole idea of sand getting all over him.

At dinner with Dad. This place was an open-air restaurant with live music. Caleb blended in just fine!

Kindermusik Spring 2011

We have wrapped up another Kindermusik semester. Caleb moved up to the next level this year, and after a rough start, he loved it! He was the youngest kid in the class by at least 3 months. Mrs. Bruno was his teacher again, and he adores her!

Here Mrs. Bruno is "swinging" Caleb, one of Caleb's favorite activities.

Using the sand blocks to make music.

They used scarves a lot this semester to play hide and seek, as well as watch the movement they make. Again, a big hit with Caleb.

Each day there is a story time. Caleb usually does a pretty good job of listening, and most of the time makes his way on to Mrs. Bruno's lap before the story is over.

The big parachute is another hit with the kids. The adults stand around it and wave it up and down as the kids run under. All set to music, of course!

At the end of each class, the kids wait their turn for a sticker. It took all semester, but Caleb finally learned to wait patiently for his turn for a sticker.
