8 Months Old

I love this outfit Caleb has on! His shirt says "Mommy's little Monster." So true, today he played with the dishwasher, the pantry and a bag of garbage (don't worry we took that one away pretty quickly). :)

Cookie Monster

Caleb is getting to be a great little eater. He likes crackers, toast and is curious about whatever we are eating. We share when we can and that only adds to his curiosity. -He still hasn't gotten any teeth, but loves to gum his food to death. :) -He weighed in at 18 lbs. 12 ounces last Monday (about when this picture was taken) and is 8 months old today!

Our Baby is Discovering a Brand New World

Caldwell

On our way home from Oregon we seemed to stop a lot more. I think that Caleb had finally figured out that we were going to just keep driving, and driving, and driving. So, we added an extra 2-3 hours on to our trip. Luckily we discovered this old rose garden in Caldwell when we stopped at a local park. It was a beautiful and pleasantly unexpected treat. :)

Oregon

I realize that I haven't blogged in ages, but don't worry we've been taking pictures! At the end of August we got the opportunity to visit Caleb's Grandparents in Oregon. Here are a few pictures of some of the fun things Caleb did while we were there.

Quick Update

Caleb is taking a nap so I thought I would fill all of you blog fans in on the latest. -He's not crawling yet, but is sure working on figuring it out. He likes to put his head on the ground and lift his bum in the air while standing on his toes. It's pretty cute. -He also is discovering that doors and cabinets open and close and that whatever Mom and Dad are eating has got to be good. Pots and Pans are a new favorite ... along with cords, fans and garbage cans. We have to keep an eye on him to make sure that what he is finding is ok to have.

Bad Bloggers

So, I realize that I haven't blogged in a long time now, but hopefully this post will help. You see we want to blog, but run out of time. :)

Just a Day in our Crazy Lives

Talented Feet

This picture captures Caleb puckering his lips and blowing. We think he may be trying to make an O, V or P sound. He does it all the time --first thing in the morning or after a nap and even in the middle of the night. Of course he may just be blowing me kisses. :)

Also, we finally caught Caleb using his feet to reach an object in this video. He still loves to grab his feet, pull off his socks and occasionally tries to eat them. :)

Hummm

Caleb is going to make his own unique method for crawling. We can name it the Rainbow/Crab walk. :) Aaron and I started laughing so hard that we had to stop the video. He had been tipping over the basket, kicking it, rolling to his tummy, etc. before we ran and got the camera.
