7 Months!

What an incredibly eventful month! Caleb got 2 teeth, started pulling up, and started crawling...all within 4 days of one another!!! He's always been a happy baby, but it is amazing to see how excited he is now that he can get where he wants to go.
For some reason he really likes the laundry baskets...this is the first time he pulled up.
Who needs "toys" when you can play with a laundry basket?!

If you look carefully, you can see the 2 bottom teeth...sorry ignore the tears. My poor child...he's crying and here I am trying to snap photos of his teeth! But it was the only time I could get a picture of his teeth...somehow I don't think he cares too much. Mommy turning his melt down into a photo op only made him madder!

This is his favorite spot. Seriously, I am not used to having a child follow me into the kitchen! I still have so much baby proofing to do!

I love cold football weather!
This is a first - Caleb was so tired he literally fell asleep sitting up!
It was too funny!

Emily's Visit

Emily came to visit for a week, and we got our first family photo in who knows how long! We had so much fun visiting and miss her so much.
Caleb loves his Auntie Em!

Happy 1st Halloween!

Last night we went to Aunt Nancy's work for a Halloween party. It was at a retirement community, and those old folks couldn't get enough of Caleb! (And yes, I did chop my hair off!)

Thanks Grammy for my Halloween sleeper!

All tuckered out after a long night of partying with retirees and watching a high school football game!

Oh, I'm in trouble!

This is from a couple of days ago. He's been trying to crawl for a couple of weeks, and all of a sudden he did it for the first time on Tuesday! 2 days later he's getting even better at crawling and is into everything! I'll post more footage soon.

Fun Weekend

What a great weekend! Caleb got to see Aunt Tanna, and she bought him this adorable monkey hat I've had my eye on for weeks now. I love it! Thanks Aunt Tanna! And she is by far one of the most beautiful pregnant women I know! We had such a good time hanging out at the mall.
We also went to the fair - Caleb's first state fair experience, and he definitely enjoyed it. So many new things to look at, hear, smell etc - he was entertained for hours.

Caleb was so tuckered out, but wouldn't go to sleep. A great friend told me that she had to hold her little one in a bear hug and just let him cry until he fell asleep. So Marc decided to try it, and voila! He only cried for about 5-10 minutes and then they were both conked out for over an hour. And I got some much needed "me" time.

We also got to have lunch today with Gramps, Grammy, and Aunt Nancy. Sorry no pics, but it was so good to see them. We're so thankful to have family nearby.

So Impressive!

I can't believe he can already get into a sitting position on his own! Last night he woke up about 1am. I heard him making noise, but not crying, so I waiting a while until he started crying before I went to get him. When I walked in, I was in for a surprise. He was sitting up in his crib staring at me! That was a first, and prompted us to lower his mattress to the lowest setting today. He's also pulling up on things and the other day pulled himself up to standing. And he is SO CLOSE to crawling. More videos to come soon, I'm sure!

Yea for Grandparents!

Caleb is blessed with amazing grandparents! Thank you to all 4 of you for all you do for us.

Caleb loves to come play at Mimi's house...
Pappi is always entertaining...
And he loves to go to games with Gramps and Grammy...

We love you!
