Who needs to go to the zoo and see these guys...
...when you've got this guy around?!
Caleb is our little monkey these days.
He grabs everything in sight -- especially if it has sugar in it.
He tries out new toys.
He climbs on everything! His favorite thing is to run into his room and climb up and stand on the changing table before I get there. It's amazing how quick he is. He also loves climbing the ladder of the bunk bed, which has already proven to be a dangerous activity.
He is so curious (think Curious George -- again, our monkey). He loves discovering new things. When he does, he looks back at us and proclaims, "Oh!"
He hears every noise. When we're outside he'll stop dead in his tracks if he hears a plane, or a train, or even a cricket. Even from inside, he'll hear a lawn mower and run to the window to try to find it. That boy could watch a mower for hours!
He's also come up with quite the smile for the camera. This is his "CHEESE" face!
This one is a little more sincere.
He's super sweet. He loves to snuggle. It only lasts about 5 seconds before he's off to explore more, but I'll take what I can get. He's also really getting into kisses and blowing them too.
There's his smile for the camera again! He closes his eyes and opens his mouth, so funny!
Crazy little boy!
He's running all the time. He wants to go faster than his little body with let him. He pumps his left arm as fast as he can to try to help him along.
No words. Just cute!
I love his feet in this pic. He was a major trooper on our LONG drive.
And he's a nice brother too!
He loves these kinds of toys at the playground. There he is, smiling again!
And he's getting really independent at the dinner table. He has cereal in the morning with (rice) milk and a spoon. He even drinks the milk from the side of the bowl when the cereal is gone. And he does a pretty good job of getting it all in. He's a big boy and wants to eat on his own.
He's also taken a liking to the piano...
...and the vacuum.
And he's a GREAT helper in the kitchen!
He mimics everything. The other day, after watching me make zucchini bread, he found a toothpick, walked over to the oven, opened the door, and started poking it around in there. Thankfully the oven was cool :)
He understands everything too. On one occasion, I told the big boys to get in the car so we could go get Dad from the train station and Caleb dropped what he was holding and ran over to the garage door, ready to go. Just tonight, I told my friend we should tell the kids we're ready to eat. Caleb ran to the stairs and yelled down to the big kids. It's amazing how much he understands!
We're transitioning from 2 naps to 1.
It's so fun to watch him grow and develop his little, or rather HUGE, personality. It's a pretty tiring process for me, but I know it will go too fast! LOVE MY CALEB BOY!

He is seriously so cute. What a little stud. My younger ones took a little longer to talk too but that was because big sisters were there to talk for them...they always end up talking though! :)
