Sigh...

of content. That's how life feels like with Caleb right now. Next to those sleepless newborn days that blur together and the in-between days of ups and downs, it feels as though we have reached a new stage of contentment and happiness. Sigh. Caleb is way less fussy these days, has a nice routine going for his naps and bedtime, happily plays by himself for long stretches, is growing and learning by leaps and bounds everyday and makes each day a surprise with whatever new 'trick' he is going to show off. I thought 7 months was my favorite but I love this 9 month mark too! Caleb has finally figured out 'the hello/goodbye wave' he found a friend at Panda on our drive home and they were waving to each other for a good five minutes. After an entire day of playing peek-a-boo with Nani, Caleb started clapping to beat the band. And after all our signing that we've been working on at mealtime, Caleb began signing 'more' to me this morning. (It could have also been a clap but who cares!) And those wet slobbery kisses, yep, they are making their 'mark'. It is so fun to see Caleb responding to his environment! Sigh. Life just keeps getting better with our Lil guy.

And of course, what's a post without pictures.
