Caleb - 8 Months

Caleb's just over 8 months old now and has developed quite the little laugh.  He woke-up hungry tonight at 11 and as I was just about to lift him up from his crib, he rolled over and saw me, stopped crying immediately and let out a cheery little giggle.  Normally he'd continue crying until he was in my arms, but for some reason he's been laughing it up at the most unexpected times . . . and I love it.  There's no better feeling than seeing him smile and hearing him laugh.  It's right up there with watching him dose-off in my arms when I rock him to sleep.  :)


Here are a couple of recent photos of Caleb taken one Sunday afternoon at the Sidewalk Cafe in Addison Circle.  We though we'd put a ball cap on him for a little protection from the sun and was surprised to find that he looks much older, almost like a little toddler.  Mommy was quick to say that she doesn't want her little baby to grow up too fast though and would prefer that he remains small for a long, long time.  


And here's Caleb scanning the table top for goodies to put into his mouth.  We let him sample the humus and he loved it.  I suppose its texture isn't too far from that of baby food, but that garlic and olive oil sure does give it a lot more zing.  The little guy couldn't get enough.  :)
