Casa de Fruta

Caleb had quite the adventure at Casa de Fruta. We went there with his playgroup. I never even realized all the 'kid friendly' things they had there. Train rides, carousal, playground, picnic tables, grass, and animals. So much fun stuff. Caleb loved it. He really enjoyed the train ride. It was so relaxing that he almost fell asleep in my arms. He giggled on the carousal. And of course what's a day without food?! We had a blast and can't wait to go back.

A new way to eat cheerios

10 Months!

Happy 10 Months Caleb! I can't believe you will be one year old in two months! Our little baby boy is becoming a toddler before our very eyes. You are crawling now all over the place. You are a little spastic in your crawl but love to sprint to your destination (sprinter in training like dad?) You laugh so much over all our goofy antics, especially when you're doing something you shouldn't be (we're in trouble!). You really are such a goof, blowing bubbles and making all kinds of silly sounds to grab our attention. We love it. You enjoy sitting at the dinner table and entertaining us with all your silly sounds. What a little ham. We love watching you grow and discover your world Caleb. You bring us so much joy!

And I almost forgot, you are getting your two top teeth in! You've been pretty fussy because of it this past week, but thanks to some wonder working teething tablets, you are able to sleep peacefully again-and so are we! Can't wait to see those pearly whites.

We love you Caleb Lincoln!

Flower Shopping

We got our flowers and we planted them! Caleb was a big help. He sat up loud and proud in the shopping cart and tried to grab every flower within reach.

Yard Renovations

What we've been up to.
This post is dedicated to Dave and all his hard work on our yards. Although I'm going to be a little selfish and give myself credit for weeding all those disgusting plants that contain gigantic black bugs crawling all over the place. (All in the name of love is my motto)
Front yard when we moved in...

Our front yard now. It is still a work in progress. We dug out all the overgrown and dying plants and we'll be putting in our own plants soon



Our 'left' side yard when we moved in...

Now...after weeding and putting in our own grass.
Our 'right' side of the yard when we moved in...

we had to have this tree cut down because it was pushing down on the arbor and going onto our roof.

And now... we still need to take all these overgrown plants out. The seeds spread and we have a ton of plants taking over the side of the yard. The only thing we've really done so far over here is mowed the grass and weeded. This side of the house needs the most help.


We still need to put in a fence since there isn't one, put in new grass on the other side of the house and the front yard, put in plants in the front, and fix the right side of the yard up. Especially Bill's garden (behind the white fence). Hopefully we'll have our own garden behind the fence and a nice looking backyard and front yard! Slowly but surely we'll get there. Well that's all for my yard update. Have a nice weekend everyone! I'm sure you can take a wild guess on what we will be doing.

Going mobile

It's begun! We officially have a crawler on our hands! I've got to say those first few crawls headed my way were more precious than words can say. Now that Caleb has figured out he can go where he wants. Well. That's another story. And speaking of his streak of independence beginning to 'bud' through, that laughing video is a good representation of just that. Caleb laughing because he KNOWS the dvd player is off limits. ( I guess I wasn't doing a very good job of redirecting him was I?) Here is some crawling captured on film.
