Hello everyone. It is now officially fall here, though we enjoyed a very lovely and warm September. During the past week we've had quite a bit of rain but being from the West Coast is doesn't seem that bad. People here start complaining bout the rain almost as fast as people there start complaining about the cold and the snow. Oh well.
As you'll see in the pictures, Caleb is growing by leaps and bounds. He is now tentatively creeping along furniture and occasionally stands on his own (for about 5 seconds).
He is Caleb crashed out one afternoon. He had gotten hot so we took off his shirt and then he found a hat and so this outfit came about.
By the way... does anyone know what these are? They grew on my potato plant. I'm guessing they are the fruits but I've never seen anything like it.
How do you carry something when you need both hands for crawing?? In your mouth of course.
You'll notice in a lot of these pictures, Caleb seems to be heading for the camera. He has figured out that the camera is pretty cool and once he hears it turn on he stops whatever he is doing and goes for it.
One lovely MID-september evening it was 25C (unheard of in these parts) so we got a supper to go and went to the beach when Byron got home. To put it in perspective... last year we had snow at this time.
Nice Hat Caleb!
Caleb and I go to the Library about once a week. He loves to play on the bean bags and grab books. They also have a bunch of puppets there that he plays with.
One of Caleb's favourite things is doing the laundry. Well, just the folding part. He is a big 'help'
And finally here are some pictures of Caleb and his new-found adventuresome spirit. He loves exploring all the nooks and crannies of our apartment, often with little regard for personal safety. About once a day he gets himself stuck in the bottom of the exersaucer and needs to be rescued (or photographed :)
And about eighteen times a day I drag him out from under the computer table where he is playing with the printer. It is his all-time favourite spot in the apartment. Particularly if either Byron or I is sitting in the chair.
Yikes, caught between a chair, a drying rack and an exersaucer. Caleb got here by crawling under the table and out beneath a chair... very pleased with himself.
Under the table.. how fascinating.
Trying the help Daddy type on the computer.
We took a little break from solid foods for about a week. Caleb was really not interested and it became a struggle to continually trick him into opening his mouth so we could sneak a spoon in. Then Caleb would give you this look of betrayal and spit everything out. So after our vacation we started back with rice biscuit and he really enjoyed it. Hooray!
