9 Was a Good Month

There is no particular order to these pictures but I couldn't narrow down to any fewer pictures than these which signifies our life right now...so many sweet moments just happening so quickly and randomly. In the past few weeks, we have had a lot of fun. We enjoyed a weekend in Little Rock, went to the game and compared hair-dos with Grandpa. We spent the next weekend in Jonesboro meeting Rachael and Gracie there. In the mean time Caleb has gotten more bold trying to use anything to pull up and is moving all over the place. He has definitely reconsidered food and is doing very well with eating. His expressions and sounds are priceless. Each day seems to be a new sound, new adventure and a new discovery.

First Football Game

Saturday was a very momentous occasion. To daddy it ranked above first day of kindergarten. I am speaking of course about Caleb's first football game. Saturday morning Caleb did his calisthenics pulling up on everything and then had a playbook review before heading to tailgate. He was literally the center of attention as he sat in the bumbo seat enjoying his applesauce. I'm sure he appreciated every step mommy carried him up to his seat. It wasn't a pretty game but just
like against LSU his second day of life, he was good luck. We've decided he has to be awake because the team was losing while Caleb was napping. He got overheated at the beginning, enjoyed a water bottle, and played pass the baby but overall he was a trooper.

Eatin' Sleepin' & Movin'

The title may sound like we've been up to the same ole thing, but things are quite exciting around here. Matt and I heard so many times...oh, you just wait until he is moving...as if it was the kiss of death. To the contrary, we are having so much fun. Caleb moves quite fast even though he is still on his tummy. He uses everything to pull up and has a few bruises to prove it. He still says ma ma, have heard a few daddy's, and humored us one night during peek-a-boo with an "a-boo" in return. His favorite is to yell "ahhhh" and will repeat back and forth with us.

Bath time is his favorite thing of the day. Do you know the game in the picture? It's called stand up, plop down to make a big splash, and repeat over and over until your little legs can't hold you anymore.

As far as eating...after months of protest, we have reconsidered. Apparently, applesauce can now make anything better. So far we have choked down peas, green beans, and squash. To our surprise he actually enjoyed a lemon we recently gave him at a restaurant. We continue to gag and spit everything back up but have discovered our favorite is watermelon and cantaloupe. I don't know what is better, the taste or getting to feed himself. It probably also feels good on his lone bottom tooth which we have lovingly named nubby.

I have been back at work for three weeks. I have focused on the positive, feel blessed to work at a job I enjoy enough to walk out the door from my favorite boys in the morning, and anticipate all day a great big smile when I come home. With so much more excitement around our house, we have crashed pretty hard at night. I don't think I've gotten this many cute sleeping pictures of Caleb since he was really little. Caleb is having a lot of fun with Daddy at home and aspires to be just like him. So right now, the 'same ole thing' is the highlight of my day.

On the Road Again

We began our trip with a visit to Helena. We enjoyed time with Gigi, Aunt Jane and Aunt Dottee. He worked hard to perfect the army crawl. It is pretty cute to watch him trying to move with every part of his body. Today he is adding Oooo to his repertoire of sounds.



















































This week Caleb has learned the army crawl and with enough determination, can get to where he wants to go. His favorite toys are his book making mommy very proud. He especially likes to take his shower song book everywhere.










































































On our first trip to Jonesboro, we saw many people eager to meet Caleb. During our time in Jonesboro, we had a little photoshoot in the Gardens at the Dixon. Our last stop was in Little Rock to see Grandma and Grandpa King as well as our friend Ethan.
