Sleepy Boy

I have an activity mat on the floor next to the computer so
when I am on the computer Caleb will have something to
do. Apparently I took too long this morning. Notice the toy
still in his little hand...




So Much FUN!

Yesterday Caleb went to his friend's Madalyn's house to
play. He loved playing with all of her new toys and had so
much fun on the swing set. (Thanks to Madalyn's cousin
Amber for letting us use her swing set!!)


The Caleb & Madalyn band, featuring Caleb on drums
and Madalyn on the bells.


Weeeeeee!





Isn't she adorable in her new wagon?!!

Good Times

Caleb has had such a good time with his PeePaw, Grandma
Beth, Uncle Matt, and Uncle Drew over the past few days.
Caleb LOVED all the attention and has become quite spoiled
over the holiday!



He loves playing with his Learn & Groove table!


On Monday, we met Marshma and Aunt Dana out for
lunch. Caleb had fun jumping in everyone's laps and
being the center of attention.



Before the Halls headed back to North Carolina, we met
for breakfast to spend a little more time together. Caleb
got lots of hugs and kisses!





Dad, Beth, Matt, & Drew,
Thanks for coming and spending time with us! We
enjoyed every second and are looking forward to
your next visit. Hurry back- We already miss you!

Discovery

As a parent, one of my favorite things is to watch Caleb
discover and learn new things about the world around him.
Bath time always brings about new learning experiences.
Each night I add baby soap to Caleb's bath water to make
bubbles. He loves touching the bubbles and his curiosity
is one of the most precious things I've ever seen. So
serious, trying to figure it all out.








Trying to "catch" the water. Another one of our nightly
games.

ZOOM ZOOM

This may be the biggest hit of Christmas...Caleb's new
car! He absolutely LOVED it, as the pictures show. Thanks
Marshma & Papa!






Caleb is ready for the warm weather so he can take it
out for a test drive!

Christmas at Marshma's

Tonight we celebrated Christmas at Marshma & Papa's
house. It was a great evening, and we loved watching Caleb
play with everyone, especially his uncles!

Caleb loves his Uncle Matt and wants him to come
home from college and visit more often!

What could be better than two uncles at your service?!!

Enjoying the warm weather outside with his PeePaw

Hopefully it will be a while before Caleb learns what you
are supposed to do under mistletoe! For now, he was
happy playing with the bell.


Shooting hoops with Grandma Beth

I know this isn't a good picture...BUT, if you click on
it and enlarge it, you can see both of Caleb's teeth!




King of the castle!


Hanging out with Papa Bruce


The boys- Garrett, Nathan, Caleb, Matt, & Drew
(Caleb has a lot of growing to do to catch up with
them!!)

Caleb loved meeting his cousins Heather & Chris.
(Chris- Thanks for reading the same two books over
and over and over to Caleb!)

Christmas Day!!

After being out late on Christmas Eve, we were hoping
that Caleb would sleep in a little...Nope! Apparently he
knew that there were a bunch of presents waiting for him
downstairs.


Caleb doesn't need coffee to get him smiling in the
morning!

Santa's message



Listening to Daddy read about the birth of Jesus




Decisions...Decisions...Which toy should I play with?
Thanks GrandMom, Grandpa Kevin, Paige, Luke,
Grandma, & Grandaddy for coming over and playing
this morning! (And for bringing toys!!)
This afternoon we headed to Georgetown to visit with
Grandma Kathy and Papa Joe. Caleb loved listening to
and watching Grandma Kathy sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider.
