18 Months

Caleb Lincoln-

You are one and a half! You are such a silly guy these days. You know just what to do to get a rise of laughter out of us and we can't help but crack a smile over all your silly games. You are slowly coming out of your shell and though you are still cautious and tentative when trying new things you are jumping more and more into activities and leaving our side. We love watching you blossom and grow. Here is what you have been up to this month:

You weigh 31 lbs and are 34" long

You are still a great eater and will eat anything we give you. You eat the most at dinner time.

New words: Papa, Grandma (grma) , Flower (rara), and counting 1, 2,3 (you say due, tree), making the sheep sound (ba ba). You try and copy a lot of words and sounds that we make

You are sleeping 11 or 12 hours at night and have dropped your am nap. You take an afternoon nap from about 1-3/3:30. And go to bed at 7pm. You have done so great without your bink. You mostly fuss a little and then talk to yourself as your drift off to sleep

You love bath time, playing outside, riding in your 'outside' car, playing with water, picking flowers, and walking your horses everywhere(toy horses with a leash), following dad everywhere and helping dad out with everything.

You are at such a fun age and understand everything we say. You follow directions so well and are such a helper! We love you so very much Caleb Lincoln.

Drum Roll Please

After much anticipation, many predictions tossed around, boy names and girl names mentioned and thought upon, we finally saw our little peanut up on the big screen. We got a wave, saw lots of movement, and watched in awe for about 45 minutes as the ultrasound tech pointed out each little piece of miracle on our baby. And so I happily announce, the newest member of the Giles family.... And.... I don't think I need to say anything...The picture says it all :) We are tickled...ahem...Blue. and are just so happy to have been able to see our baby boy whose little kicks are now being felt on the outside not just inside my tummy. Weighing in at 13 ounces (already almost a 1lb!) so crazy, and measuring a week early (August 24 due date from ultra sound tech), but will most likely be cooking till August 30th (the original due date from dr.) In the meantime, we'll be teaching Caleb how to say, Hi 'brother'! Happy Friday! Hope everyone has a good weekend too :)

19 Weeks

We have the ultrasound tonight at 7:30. If the baby cooperates we'll be finding out if Caleb will be a big brother to a little sister or a little brother :)

Monday Morning

Today, Caleb and I, we spent the morning relaxing and enjoying the warm sunshine. Caleb played outside with his water toys. I sat barefoot on a blanket and read my book. We basked in the sun and had ourselves a lazy morning. It was a good way to start off the week.

And nothing like a long afternoon nap after a fun morning of play

Our Weekend in Snapshots

We had a fun weekend down south visiting family. Saturday we spent the day in Santa Monica and did some walking/shopping/beach combing/and hanging out. Sunday we had a family brunch. It was a fun weekend but it's always nice to come back to our home sweet home :)


As you can see editing pics on this free website (picnik.com) has become a favorite pastime of mine. It doesn't take long and the website has some cool things! I'm lovin it. Hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend!

Walking with friends. Tumbling during Tiny Tots gym class. Baking. Reading. Climbing. Playing outside and enjoying the sunshine. Bring on the week.
