Guess Who?

One picture is Caleb and one is Leland.
Can you guess which one is on the top and which one is on the bottom?






Top: Leland
Bottom: Caleb

Christmas at A.J. and Uncle Dan's

Half way to Tenn. we realized we had no jacket
or sweater for Caleb, but we figured something out
and it made some great pictures.


Aunt Jennie was very good at getting Leland to sleep,
that also meant she got spit up on a lot.

Caleb the conductor.

Thank you for an awesome Christmas!

Cuddling with Grandma

ZZZZZZ....

This was taken before Leland's hair stared falling out, I wonder what color his new hair will be?...
I was changing his clothes and it didn't wake him up at all.

Smile!

I took Leland a few tries to get a real smile in there but he figured it out pretty quickly. He can smile bigger than this but I am not fast enough with the camera.

Baby Leland

Caleb is so happy to be a big brother. He is always checking on Leland and wants to know where he is all the time. He kisses him goodnight and is very good at holding him.
Aunt Jennie and Uncle Sheldon came over to visit yesterday. Jennie got a chance to hold Leland for a little while. I think she would have liked to hold him more but he wanted to be attached to Mommy. Caleb and Aunt Jennie spent time together blowing bubbles and playing with toys.

Big Brother, Little Brother!

Beagle Days

It will be a year that we have had Benoni this October and he is still an insane puppy. Always howling and always very hyper. I hope someday he will calm down but he is still cute. He is as big as he is going to get so he still look "puppy-ish".



Running around like crazy.



SIT!

Sillyness

Yee Haw!


Look Mom dinosaur.



He-Man



Caleb loves playing with
this big exercise ball.

Caleb's Hair Cut

Caleb's had been needing a hair cut for a months and we really haven't had the money to have it cut somewhere, so we took on the challenge of a wiggly toddler and mommy with no idea how to cut hair. Its not too bad, maybe a little uneven and we had only one mishap with his ear but over all its not horrible. Hair grows back anyway!

The BIG belly

I have been told a lot lately that I have "really popped out" I was in denial about it at first but after none of my maternity shirts from my pregnancy with Caleb fit anymore there was no denying it. Hello BIG belly!

Baking

I have been wanting to make zucchini bread for a long time but I have been trying to eat extremely well during this pregnancy so I kept thinking it wouldn't be good for me. Dave said: "Just make it with whole wheat flour". Duh! why couldn't I think of that. So I did and I also added flax seeds witch have those omega 3 fatty something or other, and nuts those are good for you too. Who knew that baking could be healthy and still taste good?!

Update

We had all finished dinner when Caleb realized Dave had something special to drink and was asking if he could have some. It took him a couple tries to get some in his mouth but he really liked daddy's Root Beer.



After dinner we all watched the movie Cars together. Caleb has seen it a bunch of times and is always a little "needy" the first 20 min. of the movie. He wanted to lay down with me but I was super exhausted so I told him to sit with Daddy. It looks like he is sleeping but his eyes are open and he is watching the movie.

Caleb's Second Birthday

Caleb had a great birthday, we had over couple of other 2 year olds and his Aunt Jennie and Uncle Sheldon. He got lots of presents and a chocolate cake.

Thank you Aunt Karen, I really love the candy!

Yum cake!
