Caleb's First Christmas

Caleb had a wonderful first Christmas. He looked adorable in his green and white striped bum-flap jammies. The best part for me was watching him play for the first time with his cousin Luke! They had a good time and they shared their toys. Luke gave Caleb his first football! The Christmas tree ornaments were just out of reach, the lights were captivating, and all the cuddling Caleb got from family made him as happy as ever! He LOVED chasing the choo-choo train that Gramps had set up. After going in circles, not being able to catch the train, he finally got so tired that he just laid on his back and stared at the ceiling, his little belly heaving in an out with exhaustion. Ha! It was so fun to have the family together. It was a marvelous Christmas indeed!

The day after Christmas, Caleb was very tuckered out...but he didn't want to admit it. In fact, he was so tired that he fell asleep sitting up. He pulls on the bumper of the crib sometimes, crying for me to pick him up. Eventually, he falls asleep, but this is the first time he slept sitting up. He was all partied out. He took a nice, long post-Christmas nap.

Caleb Chooses Puffs over Police

Caleb is almost figuring out how to feed himself. And if you look closely, you'll see his two front bottom toofs. Very cute! He clearly prefers the taste of cereal puffs over a foam police car...so he's got that going for him.

Hello to Heidi and Luke from Kate and Caleb!

Head bang for his breakfast

Caleb is quite the rocker these days. He does it when he's on his tummy a lot. He bangs his head over and over and wiggles his hands and feet. I think it is his way of saying "C'mon legs, lets get moving!" He does it in his high chair (as you can see) and he does it on the changing table, when he tries to lift himself up and can't quite make it. His legs might not be mobile, but his head is moving all directions.
