Caleb's 1st Birthday Picture Blitz

11 Months

And nearly impossible to catch standing still!

Other moments from our month:

He's Off!

And a song composed by Lysbeth, sung to a tune reminiscent of "When You Know the Notes to Sing:"

"When you see someone coming to get your books,
You put them high so you can't get them.

If you put them high,
If you put them low,
Caleb can get them,
I don't like that so
You put them high"

In case anyone wants to know how AWESOME my world has become in the last month.

First, this stuff:

(Picture taken 2 weeks ago)

has been replaced by dirt. So far, I've sampled pine cones, rocks, grass, and dog food. Still have to come back to paper, though. You just can't beat it.

The Babies have a new place to sit besides MY car seat, high chair, crib, swing, bath tub, etc.

 The women in the family are MUCH happier now that we can be outside.

Oh, yeah. And I can stand on my own. For at least 15 seconds. And I've taken a step. (Also learned to crawl, but that's so 2 weeks ago).

 Managed to pop out a couple more teeth on top.

Started saying "Dada" when I see this guy--or when I'm happy, getting bored in church, or haven't had Mama's attention for 2 whole minutes.

Life is pretty much smooth sailing these days. 

 

See you next month!

Caleb and Baby at 9 Months

Caleb is so big.

He likes to make loud noises. Mama says that's 'acause he's a boy.

 He can kinda stand up,

not as tall as me but!

Daddy wants Caleb to crawl soon so he doesn't have to do a week of dishes.

Baby is being so silly. I have to put her to bed but, 'acause she's sleepy. Baby gets very sleepy. Baby, time to go to bed! Did you know what Baby did today? She took a walk and saw a bear. It was a nice bear, but Baby was still scared. So I tell her, "Baby! It's ok. It's a nice bear." But Baby wanted to come inside. So I tell her, "Ok, Baby. You can come inside." And then Baby jumped in the air. Boom! She fell down. And then Baby was very crying, because she had an owwie. And Froggie gave her a banbaid and tell her, "God will heal you, Baby." Baby still said, "Whaa! Whaa!"  (etc, etc, etc)

 

When Daddy goes to be a Captain, Rocky and Black Doggie and me and Caleb get to cuddle with Mama. I tell Baby, "You have to stay in bed with your Mama Froggie, Baby."

Happy 8th Month Birthday to Caleb

 and Happy Valentine's Day to all!

We decided that when winter grows tiresome,

you should throw a beach party.

Henry, the Want-to-be-Husky

Our world warmed up into the double digits, and the drifting gave us a sledding hill!

Henry again has a purpose in life.
