soy sauce

At dinner with Aunt Kat, Caleb wanted to dip his chopsticks in the soy sauce just like everyone else. See for yourself.

As if Lowe's wasn't cool enough already...

today we discovered the driving carts. We made a morning run to Lowe's because Matt needed some sealant as he was de-nesting a vent on the roof. We spent a little more time than necessary because Caleb was having such a good time in the cart. Someone's marketing strategy to lengthen shopping trips was successful!

Thirty One & 1/2

Eighteen months!?! It's hard to even know where to begin in recording all that Caleb is doing these days. He runs everywhere rearranging our entire house. The office seems to be his favorite room as it is filled with computers, remote controls, various electronic equipment and guitars just standing ready to be played. He is quite good typing on the computer and loves to use the pick to strum the guitar. Daddy plays for him often and he continues to dance circles around the living room as seen in an earlier post needing us only to cue the music.
Caleb's favorite foods are yogurt, ham and graham crackers. He knows where all three are and will get them himself needing just a little help with the door. I'm sure he would like it if I would just stick to the favorites. He still has his blanket and is my little Linus.
My boy is the biggest flirt. When we are out, he knows when he has an audience widening his grin and batting is eyes on cue. He is getting to where he would rather flirt from afar when parents are around not wanting many to hold him. When left to play he does very well and loves "ch-ch" as he sometimes calls church.
He has started to mimic sounds for words but not yet consistent in using. Not being understandable to the rest of us doesn't keep him from talking. He babbles with such thoughtful determination. We just turn his words into dialogue and have wonderful conversations. His smile is so contagious and delights in the response he receives as he shows of his 12 teeth, the lower mid-left showing up three weeks ago. We've had our fits and minutes in timeout, but each morning he wakes (wallowing in bed like his mom) with the sweetest grin ready for the day's adventures. Happy 1/2 birthday little guy...I'll share mine with you in Nov.

Pasta Time

Caleb is doing well at feeding himself. Here he is putting away some pasta and he does the same to yogurt.

Sweet Surprise

I had a nice surprise when I uploaded pictures Sunday afternoon. His sweet Sunday School teachers had snapped this picture of him. He loves to go to church!

On the move

For one who doesn't like change, we've had quite a bit. We put our house up for sale, sold it to the first person who looked, and close June 8th. We've picked out a space and have a house on paper. We'll be in our current house until the house is built feeling blessed we only have to move once. Here's a picture of the soon to be changing bit of land!

Batter Up!

Friday night we caught a Natural's baseball game. This was not Caleb's first of the season he went one evening a couple weeks ago with Daddy. The weather was great and he danced to the music, but unsure of the fireworks.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day coincided with U of A graduation so we had a house full most of the weekend.

Race for the Cure

All three of us participated in Race for the Cure again this year. Even though Caleb still enjoyed the majority of it from his stroller, this year he crossed the finish line himself. The promenade was also full of other things for little kids and he was quite proud of the medal.
