Caleb is 6 Months Old (and finally can eat!)

 

I love feeding Caleb. (And Mama loves that it keeps us three busy!)

Caleb at 5 Months

3rd Birthday

Baby and I had our 3rd birthday.

Now that I'm three, I've been practicing writing my letters--on a variety of surfaces.

I still play dress-up.

And of course, boss Henry around. 

Caleb's 4th Month

Caleb finally got his blue towel!

He also helped us make apple sauce

and exercised (and learned to roll over!).

Lysbeth quotes:

Trying to put library books in a bag: "'How do we do this?' said the man." (???)

As Caleb protested against a toy being pushed in his mouth: "It's ok, Caleb, God is with you."

She's also started adding her own stories to our bedtime storytelling routine, complete with characters (usually girls, brothers, dogs, and wolves), plots, and no conclusions...at least, not 15 minutes in when I call it a night.

My 3-month-old Brother

  

And a quote from me:

"Mama, you wery cute. You could be a doctor."

Peek a boo!

Caleb learned a new game!

2 Months of Caleb

Caleb is 2 months old now, and he's "wery coot."

He is more fun now! He can smile,

and get dressed,

and play,

and be held by me.

Our Caleb is a month old now . . .

. . . but he still can't go down the slides at the playground.

I love him anyways.

Sesame is a Caleb!

I love Caleb. He is very tiny. I gave him a puppy.

1 week old

I'm a big sister now. I take Caleb for walks.

I make my brother smile.

Lysbeth Quotes

As I scrubbed sealing wax off her: "I get dress dirty when I being very quiet."

"God protects me from lions, and wolves, and captains (i.e., Captain VonTrapp)." All the scary things in a  2YO's life. :-P

" Henry! No kisses! Not today!"

"I a girl. Sesame a boy." (Who needs ultrasounds?)

In her ongoing, relentless campaign to paint the living room purple, she decided to enlist her sibling's support: "Sesame wants purple."

(When my stomach growled): "Baby Sesame making noises!"

(While watching the baby move): "Sesame says, 'I want to come out!'"

Meanwhile, our poor baby is oblivious to the fact that his/her big sister has decided his/her gender and color preferences, and has even begun speaking for him/her.
