Caleb had his 15 month checkup today and, despite his current cold, is a very healthy little boy. We were able to look in his mouth and he has his 4 upper and 4 lower teeth fully grown in (that he’s had for awhile) and is currently sprouting 2 bottom teeth on each side and Read More

Age 1: Journey Through the Yard 36, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Have I mentioned how cool it is to watch motor development? He’s walking, shakily, but walking nonetheless.
