Caleb's reaction to a sneeze

random!

Wait a second...Do we have a crawler on our hands?

I think it's about time we babyproof the house!

We love our green grass!

But I think Caleb loves it the most.

8 Months!

Happy 8 months Caleb Lincoln!
You are trying to move around so much. You can now rock back and forth a little bit on your knees. You're getting really close to crawling.
You love standing and are trying to pull yourself up onto things
You still wake up one or two times a night.
You love it when Daddy swings you around in his arms. You giggle with delight.
You love the sunshine and outdoors and love playing in the sand and grass.
You can say da'da
You're eating squash, sweat potatoes, carrots, green beens, peas, bananas, pears, apples, and avocado.
Within the past couple days you have been trying so hard to move everywhere and are scooting, pulling, rocking, and reaching every which way.
Watch out here comes baby!
We love you so much Caleb Lincoln

My Favorite Place

would have to be the beach. And that is why we go there a lot! It feels like we end up there almost every single weekend.Caleb loves, I mean loves, the sand. And I love the water. So we did a little of both. Caleb wasn't a big fan of the water though...we'll keep working on it! His face pretty much says it all on his feelings toward the cold water! All that play and water touching left him pretty tuckered out, so he enjoyed on nice nap on dad's back.
he knows what's coming!
a mouth full of sand and as happy as can be
mommy please no!
here it comes...
oh the beauty of the ocean!
so happy in the sand
just scooping it all up

No Thank You MOM

I would rather not have anything on my head!

Life Lately

I've decided that the 7 month mark has been my favorite developmental stage with Caleb so far . I've enjoyed the other stages too, but at this age Caleb is so fun to interact with. He's so into Peek-a-boo. This game can entertain him for VERY LONG car rides, and make a fussy baby into a very happy one. He can play by himself and gets really into what he is doing. He's finally sleeping better at night. (Waking up about two times still)but going down better and sleeping in longer stretches. He wakes up happy. This morning we listened to him coo in his crib after waking up for about 20 minutes before Dave finally got him. We're just soaking up every minute and loving it all! (Well maybe not the explosive and now very 'solid' smelling poos and the newly emerging separation anxiety)

So here are some pics of what Caleb has been up to...
just chillin'

loving the grass
playing with the toes

reading
Playdate with friends (the cutest lil guy. he's two months!)
Really trying to grab some hair
Holding hands
studying his monkey
loving his spoon, as usual (more into the spoon than the food)
