We spent some time with Grandma Gail for Mother's Day. Caleb thought her flowers were very pretty, and couldn't wait to get his hands on them!

This & That

Grandma came to Kindermusik last week. Caleb liked showing her how to shake the instruments. It was a fun day for both of them!

Caleb was invited to his first Birthday party last month. His good friend Chloe turned 1!! He was very excited to get his party bucket.

And to eat the ice cream and cake!!

Caleb and the Birthday Girl!

Caleb had fun visiting Grandpa at work. Lots for him to "explore". We also spent some time visiting with Great Grandma and Grandpa. I'm not sure who has more fun.

Caleb and Grandma were playing hide and go seek around the car.

Caleb and Great Grandpa are buddies.

Dad had to drop the crib mattress all the way down because Caleb is starting to pull himself up. Here he is peeking through his bars.

He just can't get enough of watching Wheel of Fortune.

We borrowed a walker from the neighbor, and Caleb loves his new found freedom!! He particularly likes waving at the little boy in the oven door!

We have been very busy over the last month! Although I haven't updated the blog lately, that doesn't mean we've slowed down on the pictures. I will be posting several over the next week, so check back often!

Caleb had his 9 mo. Dr appointment last week and weighed in at 21lbs 4oz. He is 29.5 in tall. He also has 2 teeth on the bottom, and one trying to poke through on the top. He doesn't like you to look at them, or feel them, so there are no pictures of teeth yet...

This is our neighbor cat, Clementine. He and Caleb "play" at the screen door.

Playn' in Dad's truck.

Spring Time

These are just a few pics from the last few weeks. Easter, and other fun spring stuff. Caleb was all decked out for St. Pat's day. He even took cookies to daycare!

Opening Easter baskets at Grandma's.


Grandpa and Great-Grandpa are working on shining up a Jeep for me. Great-Grandpa was helping me check it out!
Just playn' with Uncle Adam.

Hanging out with Dad at Buffalo Wild Wings. Definitely one of my favorite places!

Waiting patiently to see the Easter bunny with Grandma and Aunt Lindsey. Caleb loves to ride on shoulders, but doesn't understand he can't hold on to hair!! Unfortunately Aunt Lindsey is getting the brunt of it this time.

Grandma Gail came for a visit while she was on Spring Break. She even went to Kindermusik with us!!


Hanging out with Dad in the garage. I even have my work clothes on!! Ready to get dirty!

Easter pics and some randoms.

These are just a few of the pics I took of Caleb in his Easter outfit. Dad does not like the hat, and Caleb only tolerates it for a few minutes. We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

We also got to go out and play in the grass for the first time this week. He wasn't sure what to think. He doesn't really like to touch it....
And HATES to lay in it!!

Caleb was licking the spoon from the brownie batter....just like his Dad!

Caleb has moved up to his big boy car seats. The next few pics are from when he got to take his first ride in Grandpa's big red truck. Grandpa said he was asleep before they left Heyworth.

Dad made sure it was safe and snug.
Just hangn' out.

7 Months Old!!

Caleb is 7 months old already! Time really does fly with this little guy around. We have been lucky enough to enjoy some time outside this week, and Caleb absolutly loves it!

He has a little bit of his Dad's laid back personality at times. This is how I found him the other day, just watching me, taking it all in.

Caleb LOVES when his Dad comes home. They laugh and play until it's time to read books and go to bed.

Caleb's new friends...Addison and Kate.

Our good friends Veronica and Brandon were in town with their twin girls, Addison and Kate. They stopped by on their way to northern IL for the girls' baptism. Caleb wasn't sure what to think of them at first, but played very nicely and shared his toys. The girls are just a month younger than Caleb, but are half his size. They were born about 2 months early.

This is Brandon with his two sleeping beauties!

Caleb checking them out....

He really wanted that headband!

Just taking it all in...

We had a great time with the girls, and wish they lived closer!!
