Age 1: Journey Through the Yard 13, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Caleb has also become quite independent. We had his first day of Musikgarten today. All of the kids in the class seemed to cling to their parents, but Caleb pushed off of me right away and wanted to sit right in front of the Read More
Age 1: Journey Through the Yard 4, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Here is Caleb with his best buddy in the world, Ella. He calls her and she comes to him. He throws her toy for her. He calls her and looks for her when we are away from home, especially if he is doing something Read More
Age 1: Journey Through the Yard 3, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Well, the day has arrived, my little guy has turned one year old. So, I’m going to spend a few posts sharing my favorite pics that I took of him yesterday as he journeyed around our yard. At one year old, Caleb is excited Read More
I can’t believe Caleb will be one year old in just two weeks! He said his first sentence today. He looked at the cat, who was sleeping on the couch, extended his hand (his version of waving looks more like giving the power or faith healing) and said “Ha titi!” Which was putting together “hi” Read More
Caleb Watches His Dogs 6, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Today, Caleb and I were hanging out in the yard with the dogs. Though he had been saying “Ella” for quite some time now, the dogs never paid any attention to him. Today, that changed. He looked at Ella, raised his hand, and said, “Ella! Ella! Read More
Day at the Beach 27, originally uploaded by StephLewis. We finished unpacking last week. Yes. Finished. Even pictures are hung. There is not one box left (except some of Josh’s boxes that are mashed with cords, old software, and Mission Control tapes… but those are his problem and not mine). It feels fantastic to be Read More
Caleb’s First Kiss, originally uploaded by StephLewis. My mom has this doll that sings “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Caleb has always loved her Austrialian-sounding voice and the spunk with which she sings the song. He also loves to chew on her hair. That being said, when she sang to him today, he got so excited Read More
Eating Fun 9, originally uploaded by StephLewis. We went in for Caleb’s nine month well-baby checkup today. They said he is overall a very healthy and “advanced” baby in terms of his abilities. He is, however, below average when it comes to the regular baby stats. Here they are: Weight: 18 lbs., 13.9 oz. (24th Read More
Caleb has been growing like a weed lately and he’s almost 9 months old. He crawls really fast (watch out!) and pulls himself up on whatever he can grab. He has been trying to cruise and has been successful at it a couple of times. Since his motor skills started developing rapidly, he has relied Read More
Caleb and his Shoes 2, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Caleb went over by our front door and was playing with all of the shoes there. He especially likes my camo slip-ons because they have gold sparkly stars on them. Well, he started crawling away and I saw that he had taken off his own shoes Read More
