I have to say that title in my mom's voice...it's one of those quotes that is just so her. So Mom, that's for you, Caleb's "growing every day!" I feel like so much has happened in the past month that updating this blog feels very daunting. Where to start??
Well, Christmas was fun, but it feels like ages ago. Also, we forgot our camera, so I think I'll just skip it for now. If you're friends with my mom on facebook, you can see some sweet pictures of all the Christmas festivities with that side of the family. Dear families, we love y'all and miss you so much. Thanks for a WONDERFUL Christmas holiday.
Caleb is now standing up in his crib which is so fun except that he doesn't know how to sit down, so he just stands there for like 20 minutes and then starts screaming his head off. When I go in there to lay him back down, his eyes close before his head hits the pillow. It's pretty cute.
He also can go from a crawling position to a sitting position. For some reason this step was a big deal to me. Don't ask why, I don't know.
I guess instead of writing a paragraph on each new change and quality, let me just give you a list of Calebisms:
-he is crazy about animals...his arms and legs start kicking as soon as he sees one
-he is an avid reader...it runs in the family
-he casually tosses his dinner onto the floor when it's not interesting to him anymore
-his favorite book is Lullaby Little One...he will sit and listen to it 3 times in a row!
-he knows how to crawl on his hands and knees, but still prefers the army crawl
-he hates hats, coats, and carseats...basically anything that he feels restricts his freedom
-he has the cutest squinty eye smile
-he loves shaking things that make noise...his latest favorite is an empty milk jug with dried beans in it (seriously, this boy has RHYTHM)
-we think he says dada, bye-bye, night-night, and hi...of course this could all be in our imaginations

Oh Rachel! You have no idea how excited I was to see you had posted!!!! I can't believe how big he has gotten and I just can't wait to see him- sad he has no idea who I even am!!! Ryan said to me a little while ago "I looked at Michael's Facebook today and Caleb is so cute, in fact he's so cute I almost wrote something to Michael, but I didn't" Haha- he is right, that boy is dern cute! It's crazy last time I saw him he was only like four months! We miss you all! Wish we were close enough for playdates- man that would be the greatest! Hope to talk to you soon, and keep the blog posts coming! I love them! Miss you all.
Aww Rachel! reading about Caleb getting stuck standing in his crib reminded me of how jack used to do that!! I had forgotten about that and how funny a stage that was, I remember working for a few weeks on trying to teach jack to sit down! :) enjoy these days, they go so quickly!
Thanks to your friends Kat and Penny?! Dude, whose DVDs are they ANYWAY. Just joking ;) We came to Covenant with two goals: get an MDiv and make everyone around us addicted to the West Wing.
Rachel, standing in the crib, not know how to get down is exactly what you did! You may remember us telling you about one particular time. Also, I love the sweater! Was it hard?
love you!
