Pumpkin Patch

Flashbacks from last year. Hilarious how how makes the same faces! He also enjoyed some roasted corn at the pumpkin patch. A few days later, he was holding his sippy cup sideways, pretending to chew the sides and saying, "Mmm...corn." lol. Next post has 2 videos.

The petting zoo

There was this huge drum set made out of metal parts, milk jugs, etc. for kids to bang on.

Post 2 of 2

Woke up grumpy from a nap and really wanted his shoes on his feet and his hands (as you can see in the pics above)

I bought some tubs for organizing the house and Caleb loved climbing in and out (with his slippers on of course)


Trying so hard to stand on his own (which he did the other day by himself and stood there for 2 seconds with no support, yay!)

Sleeping in his slippers (and for those worry-warts who think he's cold don't worry =). we have no a/c and it was hot that day)

Funny Caleb Moments

I can't post pictures right now because the blog is having problems. I'll post some later along with a video or two. For now, here's a couple funny stories:
Caleb is OBSESSED with shoes. I mean seriously obsessed. The minute he wakes up he says, "oh no..shoes!" (because he looks at his feet and sees they're bare). When we go to our friend's house, he puts the little girl's shoes on and crawls around wearing her pink shoes. So I bought him this ugly pair of slippers at Ross the other day because they were cheap and he was obsessed (they look like a dragon and the eyes light up). He even wants to wear them to bed every night. The other day he was drinking water from a cup and spilled it. The water spilled everywhere, all over him, the high chair, the carpet and a teeny tiny drip on his shoes. He didn't even care he was covered in cold water, he just gasped and said, "Oh NOOOO! My SHOES!!!" He is daddy's boy when it comes to his shoes being dirty. =)
Today, I was feeding him cereal for breakfast. He kept dipping his fingers in the bowl in the milk. I said, "no fingers" and pointed to the bowl, thinking a simple phrase would help him understand what I meant. He opened his hands, looked at each finger, and slowly folded each finger down so his whole hand was balled up in a fist. Then he dipped his fist in the milk. haha. I guess he's smarter than I think.

Lots of Pictures and Videos

Few things, first Caleb wasn't hurt in the video. You'll see what I mean in the first minute. Alyssa thought she was trying to pick him up. Second, my voice is SO annoying...ugh. Third, when he's "praying" he's trying to fold his hands together in the first parts of the segment. Hope you like the video! He's so cute.

Caleb stands at the gate and whines, cries or stares at the stairs wishing he could climb up and down them all day.


Talking to Daddy!

Caleb and I had a picnic dinner in Steilacoom. He loved crawling around and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery.







We walked to the beach with my friends and had a picnic lunch. (This is the Michael from the video).









Don't mind my singing voice...
