Backyard Exploration

Today Caleb seemed to be all over the place. He wanted to walk all over. He took almost 8 steps to Dave which was pretty exciting (that's the most he's ever taken) He was so full of energy all day. Letting him play in the backyard lets him get all his steam out. I was pretty entertained because usually he stays pretty close. But not today. He was on a mission to get into everything and has taken notice of the trees it seems. I should mention that he has a thing for apples. He loves them. We peel the skin off and he eats it to the core. Somehow he figured out that we have an apple tree in our backyard and since that discovery he must crawl over, stand up, and try and take down every apple in order to have a little munch. At the munching point we distract but it's so funny how he has figured out the source of all apples :)
Here's a little photo play by play.
From here... to there...

to somehow up there

First tree...

and then along to over there

to the apple tree

eye on the prize

stretching as far as those arms will go
and on the tippy toes

Victory! (Okay, I may have let him take a little nibble, or two as evidenced by the bite mark on apple number 1). I couldn't help myself. He was working so hard to get those apples off of the tree. I couldn't deny my little apple picker after all that tough work. I think we may have a farm boy in training! We'll have to take him apple picking for real now.

Sigh. All in a day's work for this little guy. I was exhausted just watching :)
