Caleb Standing




So earlier this week, Byron and I watched as Caleb was kneeling against our ottoman. Slowly, to our amazement, he pulled himself up until he was standing. Very pleased with himself he stood there and gazed around the room, then fell over. He didn't try again until the next day when once or twice he managed to do the same thing. Then on Wednesday something clicked and he figured our exactly how to repeat it. Now he is constantly standing up. It is so weird to look over in the apartment and see this little person just standing there. It makes him seem so big.

Summer Vacation

Hi Everyone,
Wow, it's been a busy few weeks around here. Caleb had his six month birthday, we visited lots of family and Caleb has started crawling. Not just inching around anymore but across a room in 30 seconds crawling. Suddenly he is discovering all the corners of our living room that he didn't know existed. Seems like we baby proofed just in time.Caleb is fascinated by the little patches of sunshine on our carpet. He tries and tries to pick them up but can't quite manage it.


Who's that boy in the mirror?!?!

Caleb at the beach!! Sand is yummy!!


Byron and I celebrated out 2nd anniversary with a fancy dinner at home. Caleb had some rubber giraffe.

Here is Caleb at his Oma's house. There the floors are wood and slippery and Caleb ended up going backwards a lot. Here he ended up under the couch.


Caleb loved his cousin Hannah... a little too much. He would wiggle up to her and stroke her hair, sometimes not too gently. It will be fun to watch these two grow up together. I have a feeling that next time they see each other Hannah won't be quite so passive about Caleb's abuse.



Caleb meets his uncle Josh.

Caleb meets his great-Grandpa and great Grandma McCallum. We had a nice visit with them.

Baby Hannah in the exersaucer. This was a blessing on the visit... it kept the two babies happy for hours.
