Minty Fresh

I bought the child proof locks for our bathroom drawers months
ago. But, somehow we haven't gotten around to installing them.
It's on the to-do list. Maybe after Creed sees where all of his
dental floss is going, Calebproofing the bathroom will be higher
up on the list.

It was not me who told Caleb that it tasted yummy and

he should lick it.

Mmmm! Minty fresh!

Problem Solver

Caleb loves turning the lights off and on, and it's something
that we have let him do for a while. Usually it's while I am
holding him or carrying him in or out of a room. Today he
decided to take matters into his own hands...






My little problem solver!

While Mommy & Daddy Are Away...

Caleb will play!!

This past Friday, Creed & I dropped Caleb off at his Grandmom
and Grandpa Kevin's house and we headed over to Lexington
for a little getaway. We had dinner at our favorite restaurant
Friday night and got to go to the UK game on Saturday. (Thanks
again for the tickets, Grandma & Grandaddy!) It was a very fun
weekend, not just for us, but for Caleb as well. See for yourself!

Chocolate pudding! Mmmmm!!!

He even went to the park with his Grandmom. Here he is

cleaning off all the mulch from the steps. He is SO much

like his father!

Grandmom even climbed the rock wall with Caleb over and

over...Thanks for being such a sport, Mom!

Getting down and dirty!

He looks really sad, like he is missing his Mommy &

Daddy so much. ;)

Thanks Grandmom, Grandpa Kevin, and Uncle Luke for

keeping Caleb. We knew he was in good hands!

Like Daddy (& Grandaddy)

Caleb has learned how to climb in and out of his Daddy's

chair, and likes to be like Daddy. Actually he climbs in

and loves to slide off it. And, if you tell him to act like

Grandaddy, he closes his eyes for an instant and makes

a "shhhh" sound like he is sleeping. It's amazing what they

pick up!

FOUND

CALL OFF THE SEARCH PARTY...
MONKEY WAS FOUND!!!

I can't believe I didn't immediately think to check the kitchen
cabinets, specifically the pasta strainer...silly me!

MISSING

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MONKEY???


Name: Monkey
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Black
Last Seen: On a wagon ride coming home from Grandma
and Grandaddy's house.


My heart is breaking for Caleb as he falls asleep tonight
without his favorite possession, monkey. (Last week I crept into
his room to kiss him while he slept and found him sleeping
with monkey in his arms! It was precious!) He just loves it SO
much that it had to go on our walk tonight, just like it had to enjoy
snack time yesterday.

Sadly, we just finished driving around the neighborhood looking
for him with no luck. If only I could find it hidden away in some
cabinet tonight. Fingers crossed. Otherwise we will be visiting
the zoo on Friday.

Lookin' Good!

A Sunday afternoon

Caleb spent part of his Sunday afternoon sitting in his wagon
and enjoying a cup of Sonic ice, while watching his Daddy
mow the lawn. In his mind, this was the perfect scenario! And,
he was content until his ice melted.





No matter what, that hair above his ear on his left side
just won't lay down. I even used Creed's hair gel on it
before church that morning! As Cousin Eddie would say,
his "hair just ain't gonna lay right."

15 Months

Today was Caleb's 15 month checkup. He weighed 24 pounds
15 ounces (with his clothes on) and was 31 inches long. Still
riding that 50th percentile curve! The doctor said that he
looked great and is developing wonderfully.


A few weeks ago I got Caleb out of the car and before
I could carry him in he went and got the watering can.
Apparently he thought the plants were looking a little
dry!

15 things about Caleb at 15 months...

He LOVES...
1.His new stuffed monkey from the zoo
2.Running (anywhere and everywhere)
3.Teasing Rhett (with a cracker)
4.Opening and closing the garage door
5.Rice Crispy Treats (preferably store bought)
6.Mandarin Oranges
7.Cell Phones (He called 911 the other night. oops. They
called back to see if there was an emergency.)
8.Nail clippers (No, we don't let him play with them.)
9.Being outside (regardless of the activity)
10.Letting Rhett out of his crate

He strongly detests...
11.Diaper Changes
12.Being redirected from something he shouldn't be
doing in the first place.
13.When things are out of place UNLESS he is the one
who put it out of place (He closes doors, picks up mulch
from the sidewalk and returns it to the flower bed, etc.
OCD already??)
14. Being left in the church nursery
15.Going to the doctor

Newport

After we went to the aquarium, we decided to have lunch
and walk around the shops in Newport. We found a band
playing and Caleb dropped it like it's hot for a few songs.
He dropped it so low one time that he fell back. It was
hilarious! Even the band members were laughing, and
they even gave him a shout out!

Enjoying the live music

He's got the moves!

I was SUPER nervous about taking Caleb out to lunch

because (1) it was nap time, and (2) he isn't the best

restaurant baby these days. But, in true Caleb style, he

did the opposite of what I expected. He did great!

My boy loves salad!

Where's Caleb???

Peek-a-Boo! There he is!
