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 . . .

Rockin 'n Rollin

Caleb's just about 6 months old now and picking up some new tricks. He began rolling over onto his tummy about two weeks ago and has finally begun to roll back onto his back from his tummy . . . and now he's all over the place. Just the other day, Jae placed him down on his mat and stepped away for a minute. She then returned to find Caleb on the other side of the living room. That little guys really bookin it. Just look at that grin on his face. It's got, "I'm gettin into everything once I learn how to crawl." written all over it.

Besides his new found mobility, Caleb's grown to a size that fits his first pair of overalls. Poor fella, he's entirely at this mommy's mercy as he acts as mommy's dress-up doll. Mommy's latest obsession . . . overalls. I'm a bit bias, of course, but I have to say, Caleb look very dapper in his new pair of denims. Check out the latest photos.

Caleb hoppin around with mommy. Love it!


More giggles with mommy.


Testing out his sea legs. Woah . . . wobbly.


Ah, much better.

There's that silly little grin. :/


And my favorite. "Heads-up!"


"Hip-hip, horray!!!"


And finally, Caleb's oh-so longing eyes. I think acting school may be in his future.

Sweet Dreams

Doug and I have taken to feeding our Calebi together for his late night 11pm feeding. As I sat burping him, I couldn't resist snuggling him as he fell asleep again in my arms. Caleb is so sweet when he sleeps.

I've been begging Doug to take a picture of Caleb as he sleep because he is just so precious. I love it when he is spread eagle in his crib and he put both hand behind his heads and makes each of his chubby arms look just like two sausage links stuck together. We haven't been able to get that shot because of course, when he sleeps the low light condition means bad condition for pics. Well, we really kinda tortured him while he slept for these pictures -- opening blinds and turning on lights as he slept peacefully in my arms. Poor kiddo! But at least God knows what we needed this weekend. I will remember these pics forever.

Caleb-oo's ten little piggys!

Give Me My Rice Cereal!!

Ok this past weekend was the first time Caleb tried rice cereal and he ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Give me, give me, GIVE ME!! Actually it looks like Mama wanted to eat some too . . . No, Mama, its all MINE!

July 4th - Picking Tomatoes at RicRock Farm

We celebrated blazing July 4th day by packing up the car with Caleb, Joshie and Lydia and heading for Farmersville, TX to pick some fresh grown tomatoes and a gigantic watermelon at RicRock Farms. Boy, it was hot day! We ended up with 10lbs of tomatoes . . . hey, that's a lot of spagetthi sauce! Calebi did ok - but he is out growing that Baby Bjorn . . . lots of grunts as Mama carried him around with his chubby legs sticking out.

"Hi Uncle Douga!"












"Look what I caught in the melon patch!"



















"Calebi wants to lift the watermelon, too!"



















"Look, Calebi! Tomatoes, ooooh!"



















"Mama, I wuv you!" "I love you too, gomdori-guy."

5 1/2 Month and the Adventure of the Jumperoo

I can't believe this little guy is already 5 1/2 months! Time has gone by so quickly. He so loves his Jumperoo Activity Center and jumps around exuberantly -- compared to the first time we tried it and he just stood on his tip-toes like a ballet dancer with a confused look on his face, "Now, what do you want me to do?" Caleb-oo is always the thinker and he finally figured it out.

"Hmm, I think I got it!"
