Hot Wheels!

Caleb's discovered the joys of walking . . . well, kind of. We bought him a walker and now he's all over the place. He's still stuck in first gear though, and hasn't figured found reverse just yet. He doesn't mind though. He'll park it into a wall and just play with the funny little controls on the front of the walker until mommy and daddy straighten him back out.

He's really beginning to grow up. Seeing him ride in his walker has been a little preview of him walking on his own. It's crazy, to think 6 months have already gone by so quickly. The little blue faced new born shivering in the delivery room is now riding along in his walker like a big boy. I can't believe it sometimes. But when I squat while clapping to encourage him to walk to me, and he smiles and comes zooming at me in excitement, there's no denying it's real.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

In preparation of Jae's eventual loss of hair due to the chemotherapy, she had it cut short. Here's her new cool and refreshing hair do. What do you think? I've always told Jae she looks great with short hair, but she likes it because it gives Caleb a little less to grab on to. Mommy's hair is not a jungle gym, Caleb.

Oh, and Caleb's reached another milestone in his short 6 month life -- he's dropped his 11pm feeding! Mommy and daddy can finally go to bed at a decent hour and stay asleep until the sun rises. What a joy.

And lastly, one more photo of the two most special people in my life.

Orange ya glad to see me?

Caleb's been having a field day tasting new foods: avacados, carrots, peas, squash. His favorite of late, though, has been oranges. We feed it to him in this nifty little net container that allows him to suck out the juices while preventing any accidental choking . . . and he loves it. Sometimes I'll take it from him momentarily to adjust his grip on it and he'll get so upset. Yeesh, and I thought animals were protective of their food. That little guy.

Monday, Tooths-day, Wednesday . . .

In true Caleb fashion, the little fella's been rolling around every where, even on towels during bath time. It makes for a really interesting time when trying to put his diaper on, but mommy and daddy's combined four arms manage to get the job done. Boy he's a handful.

Also in the news, Caleb's grown his first tooth . . . well, just barely. It's not yet visible, but definitely there as Jae found out first hand today when Caleb pulled her finger into his mouth and took a nice big bite out of mommy (ouch). Now mommy's all excited, so much so that she added a little bit more banana into his meal today as a little sweet treat for the little saber tooth tiger. Grrr . . .
