First Birthday!!!!

Getting ready for the party... 3 out of the 4 of us are excited to have our picture made :)

Of course, he loved the tissue paper the best... and Sissy made sure he stayed supplied!  She was a big helper... handed him his presents and helped him open a few.

Needless to say... the cake was a hit!  I finally took it away because I was afraid he would make himself sick... then he licked himself for about 10 minutes after- until I could put him in the tub!

First Haircut

I finally had to admit that Caleb's hair was way too long over his ears... so he had his first haircut!  As you can probably see, he wasn't too thrilled about being forcibly detained... he was much better after Daddy got a book out!  He looks like such a big boy now!

Bikes, Blues, and BBQ

We decided to check out the festivities Friday night... mostly to support Pit 4 a King, which won the taster's choice award (Go Kevin)!  If we ever get a good picture of all of us, I will rejoice... :)

fun at the park

Hannah Grace and Barbie are ready for some fun...

One of the sweetest smiles I've ever seen....

Yes, my children are nosy... wonder who they got that from?

Dad and Caleb- ready for the big slide!

the "crawl"

i finally got it to work... thanks, ashley!

And.... he's off!

The last week or so has found Caleb really perfecting his "special" crawl... he moves along on one knee while almost stepping with his other foot.  It's definitely not your traditional crawl, but it works for him!  He's also pulling up like crazy and cruising along the furniture... I didn't realize how un-babyproofed our house has become until now! Hopefully I can post a video soon of this "crawl"... I can't seem to get one to load. :(

PLEASE feed me!

As  you can see, Caleb was very excited and proud when he was able to grab the bag of chips off the table... now if he could only get that bag open...
