Caleb is ONE!!!!

Well, our little bundle is now a big boy. It's hard to believe that he has been with us a whole year... and yet we can't imagine life without him. As you can see from the two pictures below... he has changed and grown a lot in that year.

Day 1


Day ~ 330 - what a difference!!


Caleb contemplating life, the universe, everything... and the answer is... 42!


Caleb is now fully walking. He has gotten quite fast and motors around the house in record time. He would really love to run but can't quite manage it.


His new speed has resulted in many pictures like the above. You get the camera out to take a picture of something unbearably adorable and then before you can take a picture Caleb has abandoned whatever he is doing and already had his finger on the lens. Wonderful.


A selfie.


We had a few friends over on Feb 6th to celebrate Caleb's birthday. It was a great time. Caleb had lots of fun and did much better at opening presents than at Christmas. It seems to be a learned skill.


Caleb's birthday cake... made by Mommy! Her favorite part of parties.


Blowing out the candles. You will notice that Caleb has shed all of his clothes. Our apartment got quite warm with all 8 people in it. Caleb doesn't handle being hot well but loves to be naked. He was in just his diaper for most of the evening.


Which was perfect for enjoying the cake. Lots of fun to mush... not so sure if any got eaten.


One fine day we went sledding, I had fun, Caleb was ambivalent.


I think it's hard to enjoy it when you can't move at all.


Caleb and Mommy reading in the chair. What a cozy moment.


We borrowed this car from the Toy Library. Caleb LOVES it!!! He hasn't quite figured out how to move on it yet, so he pushes it around the house and then sits on it. He loves to get rides on it as well.


Last week Caleb got quite sick with the stomach flu. I know he looks rather pathetic in the above picture but this was actually one of his chipper moments when he had lots of energy so you can imagine what the whole week was like. It only took a few trips to the emergency room and some IV fluids for dehydration but he eventually got back to his regular self... Thank goodness.


And finally, here is Caleb showing off our brilliant idea for getting him to stay still during diaper changes...a book! If you know me at all you won't be surprised this works really well!!
