Christmas Day

Before the chaos.....








opening presents....

Oh what fun!

Christmas at Aunt Jennie and Uncle Sheldon's

On Saturday we went to Jennie and Sheldon's and spent time with Mary (Grandma), Rich( Grandpuba), AJ, and Uncle Dan. Caleb had fun with everyone and opening his presents. That night we went driving around looking a Christmas lights, Caleb fell asleep while driving around. We all had a lot of fun.

Fun Caleb, Head Pants

Last night we were all sitting in the living room hanging out. I look over at Caleb and he has pants on his head. This was the first time he had ever taken his pants off by himself. Where he got the idea to put the pants on his head I do not know but it sure made us laugh.... In case your wondering Caleb is walking in the first picture.

At The Zoo

Last Saturday we were sitting around at home with nothing to do. We had not been to the Atlanta Zoo yet so we decided it was a good time to go. It was a little cold but we dressed Caleb as warm as possible( Thin P.J.'s, long sleeve shirt, sweater and pants, plus his cute hat and mittens). We got to see the lion, tiger, and some orangutans up close, and the otters, a bunch of reptiles and lots of fresh air. Caleb loved the petting zoo and the flamingos. It was much better that sitting around at home all day.

Such A Big Boy

I put off getting Caleb's haircut for way too long. I just didn't want his baby hair to go away. What I feared is true, he looks much older. He even acted more mature sitting there like it was nothing out of the ordinary. He has even been taking his first steps lately. Being brave enough to walk farther than he did just a few days earlier. Who does he think he is growing up like this? I guess it is just something I will have to get used to.

Fun on Thanksgiving

The attack of "Baby Big Foot"! Ahhhhh!


So.... Aunt Jennie how do these so called shapes fit in here again?

No Butts About It

Caleb loves to climb on top of everything, so whenever anyone lays down on the floor it is a givin that he is going to sit on you.

Caleb And His Cat

What can I say Caleb loooooves his cat. This is why we decided to keep her in the first place. If you don't know the story here it is: I see a little kitty in the backyard and being the sucker that I am I say " hi kitty" and she comes running over to me. Now that she is closer I see that she is pretty skinny. I go back inside to my normal chores and this cat is still at the door hours later meowing. I give her some food and she comes back everyday for 2 weeks for food. At that time Dave notices that she is looking pregnant. Then she weazzles her way into the house..... A few weeks later she is still coming and going as she pleases until we notice that she has absolutly no claws. What kind of person de-claws a cat with out spaying her and keep her inside? From that piont on she was always kept her inside our house. A few more weeks pass and she has 4 kttens. Moxie (our new cat) and Caleb had an instant bond, she has always watched out for him like he was her baby. Before we knew Uggie was sick she had growled at Caleb 2 times and both times Moxie ran over and swatted her.

Caleb follows Moxie around all day trying to pick her up. He hugs her and kisses her all the time. I think their bond is so cool, thinking of how much Caleb loves his kiity brings tears to my eyes. This is one of my traits that has definatly been past on to Caleb and I am thrilled. Maybe he will be vetrenarian when he grows up.

Dinner Time

It is always interesting to see what Caleb will do when its time for dinner. Sometimes he is okay with me spoon feeding him but other times he prefers to do it himself. When that happens this is usually the result. Caleb you seriously need a bath!

Yum!

Lately Caleb has become a "carbaholic" I wont complain though since it used to be difficult to get him to eat anything but yogurt and apple sauce. Hopefully he will get over his pickiness but for now I can deal with him eating "limited" foods.

Caleb loves to do whatever we're doing, he can't stand it if we are on the couch and he is on the floor or we are eating tacos and he has fruit. Everyone has do be doing the same thing. We gave him his non opperative tv remote a long time ago but this was the first time he had really "copied" us with it. Its so cute!

Oh, the joys of Fall

Fall is such a fun time. I had the idea of raking a pile of leaves and letting Caleb "have at it" a couple days ago. It didn't play out as well as it had in my mind but I think Caleb had some fun.




















We added our newest member of the family on Monday Oct.30th. He is a beagle and full of energy. We named him Benoni (sounds like macaroni) which means "son of my sorrows" because he is our replacement for our last dog Uggie. She had cancer , it was so hard to see her go through that but I am glad she is not suffering anymore. Caleb and the dog haven't exactly bonded yet but even though the dog is a little overwhelming for him some times he still wants to pet him and is courious about what Benoni is doing.
