Fish are Friends Not Food

Happy to start catching our happy boy on camera!

I love you Mom.

I am eating Ink now. He's the hardest one for me to hold, so I have to use both hands.

Dead fish carnage everywhere.

Just a thought but do you think Caleb is more like the Shark or like the Dentist's niece Darla? Either way he enjoys eating his new Finding Nemo bath toys. -They haven't made it to the bath-tub yet, but I am sure they will soon enough. Thanks again Grumpa Bly. :) Fish are Friends ... Not Food.

Hi Fishy, Fishy!

Hi Marlin. I like you.

These bath toys are so awesome!

Hey I'm a Curious Bird

Caleb absolutely loves books. We rotate them in with his toys when we are playing and he gets really excited as we read them to him. Lately he loves flipping the pages. holding the books and occasionally eating them too. :)

Last Night

So, one of the questions people ask Aaron and I a lot is: "How is Caleb sleeping?" and "Does he sleep through the night yet?"

And to be quiet honest he really does do pretty good. He usually wakes up once, sometimes twice a night and occasionally he even sleeps all night, which is always appreciated.

But ... Last Night ... something was off. He woke up at 9, 9:30, 10, 12:30, 2:00, 4:30, and 6. Man was I a tired Mama. And poor Aaron, who had spent about 4 hours last night working on sanding and re-staining our deck (pictures to come in a later post) in addition to putting in over-time all week for a special project at work --probably could have used one of those surprise-sleep-through-the-night moments from Caleb. Oh, well ... Welcome to Parenthood, Right?

Daddy's Boy

Good Morning Caleb

Caleb's Tiger toy is special because it stays in his crib, goes with us on vacation and is all his ... no sharing required. He loves him very much ... almost as much as his mobile.

Starting to Roll

Caleb is such a good kicker!

4 1/2 Months and Curious

Ummm, tasty! Caleb loves the butterflies on his Rain forest toy.

Too Cute.

I love Caleb's hands and bright eyes.

A Color of His Own

This weekend we have been having fun with Aaron's Dad. We went shopping on Friday and Caleb got this new board-book from Barnes and Noble. It is really cute and I love the graphics. Caleb also likes it and got so excited when I was reading it to him that we read it twice.

Lately Caleb has been especially interested in helping turn the pages and occasionally we will let him lick his books. He's a cute and inquisitive little boy.

Scuba Fun

Well, I am back from my trip. It was pretty fun.

We dove in various spots around San Clemente Island off the southern coast of California.

Below are some pictures. I have more so I will probably do a 2nd post sometime.

A little bit cramped at night:

















But it was still good.

Here is me just after jumping out of the boat:














Underwater shot:














This guy we found just hanging around:



















It was cool swimming through the kelp forests:















We tried getting directions to the "EAC" but didn't have to much luck getting an answer:















Found a meeting of the minds:














Batman came for a swim: (this is a Bat Ray)














This guy wanted to get past us undetected:














But "Eye" spotted him:














We did see some sharks. But the camera was having issues at the time. They were only Leopard sharks so they weren't dangerous.

I have a couple of videos but they keep erroring out....I will try them later.
