The months seem to fly by right now, and I can hardly keep up with Caleb's daily changes and new milestones! Playing and exploring in the kitchen is still one of his favorite activities. I love this big grin of his! He is such a happy baby.
Exploring the pantry - another of his favorites!
He's pulling up on everything and stands like a champ. He even let go of me and stood on his own the other day for about 5 seconds!
He absolutely loves this piano that his cousin Grayson let him borrow! He has learned how to hold on and walk around it in order to play with each button
I've learned my lesson - only give him a couple of tupperware dishes at a time. They were soon scattered over the entire kitchen floor!
Teething, teething, and more teething - Caleb has 4 top teeth coming in!
Something about this mischevious grin tells me I'm in big trouble. Sure enough we didn't think he could get his leg up high enough in order to climb the step. A couple of days later he easily climbed that step and was standing on the second step! No worries, Marc and I were right there and we're working on finding a gate that fits!
Caleb loves trying to walk with his new toy - thanks Mimi and Pappi!
We had a slight injury, and Caleb cut his finger. Problem is - it was bleeding and he was getting blood everywhere, but he immediately tried to eat the bandaid off his finger! (I had never pondered this dilemma before! But then again you never imagine your 9 month old with a cut, bleeding finger either - I guess I better get used to it!) But a smart husband, a mitten and some tape, and voila. Poor child, he got used to the nub after a little while!
I am so very thankful that my child sleeps in the car!
Some of you know, many of you do not - I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in November. It has been a long road, but we know that the Lord is taking care of us in it. Over the last 2 weeks I have had to start a new medication and switch Caleb to formula. It has not been easy, and I can definitely empathize with any who have had to suddenly wean their child before either of them were ready. We've had our share of sleepless nights of Caleb's rather loud and passionate opinions about the change! Right now we take our sleep any way we can get it - sleeping on mom is still one of his favorites (and always a sweet time for mom!)
We also celebrated his great-grandma's birthday!
Who needs "toys" when you can play with a laundry basket?!
This is a first - Caleb was so tired he literally fell asleep sitting up!
It was too funny!
