11 Months!!


Our little man at 11 months! Wow! Less than an month now until his first birthday. I can't believe it. I am truly amazed at how much he has grown and learned in one year! Caleb continues to be a very happy boy. He sings, waves and loves to talk. He has added the words up, down (we go in an elevator at my parents building a lot), ta-da!, and my favorite, moo-cow, his first 2 word phrase. It comes out as Moo-ow which makes it even cuter. He likes to say no-no-no when he's doing something he shouldn't be doing. He'll say it before I do! Doesn't stop him from doing it, though. Just when I thought he didn't grasp the meaning of the word no, he told me no for the first time and he meant it. I was trying to give him medicine and he grabbed my hand, looked at me and said "no-no-no". I was quite proud of him for understanding and using the phrase appropriately, but frustrated he didn't take his medicine. :P

He looks like such a big boy!
I love this picture! He was having fun with Daddy and Grandpa Charles.
Caleb continues to love the water. We go to the pool or the beach whenever we get the chance. In this picture his cousin, Nolan, is in the background.

He looks like such the Bohemian baby in this one, don't you think? His curls are getting so long. He usually gets one or two long ribbons of curls in the front. I'm SO jealous!

Showing off his teeth here. He's got 6 teeth now-4 up top and 2 on the bottom. This has been a big teething month. I'm still sleep deprived.

He's already driving! He likes to motor around the house on his car. He gets such a kick out of himself that he'll give himself a round of applause. Adorable!

This one kills me! Caleb likes to push our neighbor, Griffin, around the house. Griffin is 62 lbs!!!

Mommy's little helper.

This is Caleb's favorite thing to do at Nana and Papa's. They have doggie steps so their little dog, Roxy, can get on the sofa. Caleb apparently thinks they are for him. He loves to climb them (with no assistance) and jump off onto pillows.


My little daredevil.



I saved the best for last. Caleb is walking!!!! He took his first steps at Grandpa Charles house a few weeks ago. Then, 6 days later, Caleb decided he had this walking thing down and started taking walks on his own. He tends to walk like frankenstein-arms straight out, but he's walking all over the place. Our next post will be for his first birthday!!!!!
