Easter

We had a great Easter...Caleb loved hunting for eggs at Grandma and Papa's and enjoyed his Easter basket. The orange guy from Nana did scare him at first though.

30 ROCKS!

I turned 30 this past week and we celebrated with friends on Saturday night. We had drinks and appetizers at a restaurant in downtown Overland Park and then everyone was kind enough to join me at another bar for some karaoke. It was a great evening...I feel very blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful friends!

Madonna - Like a Prayer...is there a better karaoke song?

Lauren had this awesome cake made. It was 4 different flavors...very yummy!

August got me a new camera for my birthday. And of course Caleb makes the perfect subject for taking all sorts of shots.

We are starting to notice that it might be time for Caleb's first haircut. He's getting a little rough around the edges and is sporting a baby mullet.

But doesn't he make having a mullet look fun?

Happy Birthday Grandma Deborah!

Grandma Deborah celebrated her birthday on Sunday and we just partied so hard, we didn't post a birthday greeting on time! Hope you had a wonderful birthday and we'll miss you while you are in STL.

Finally some fresh air!

We were able to get out of the house on Sunday and go for a walk. It was beautiful outside!

A week in the life of Caleb

Caleb was up to a lot this past week. He tried on his first tux for our friends Lauren and Ryan's upcoming wedding. Caleb is going to be one of two of the cutest ring bearers this side of the Mississippi!

This is Caleb with his fellow ring bearer Lauren's nephew Danny.

The following pictures are Caleb in a very grown-up button up shirt from cousin Sam. Too cute.

This was just a sweet Caleb moment where he was giving out big hugs.

Caleb pushing his big keyboard box. We unpacked his birthday keyboard and I'm currently working on Chopsticks. I've almost learned both hands!

These slippers are super hard to walk in!

So here's a flash back...Caleb in his chair at about 4 months...

Caleb in the chair at 16 months...

Caleb - Almost 16 months!

Caleb's been getting buff. Right now he's lifting air.

Touch those toes!

Okay so maybe Caleb's not using the barbell just for lifting.

Caleb will now rub his belly and say yum.

Are these two related?

Caleb loves his froggie so so much.

Caleb is getting to be a pro at using utensils.

Grandpa Scott made Caleb and his cousin Sam their own toy boxes for Christmas. They both love playing on and in their toy boxes.

Today we got out of the house and hit the mall for a ride on the merry-go-round. Totally fun!

Caleb is 15 months! He's turning into quite the little boy who is in to everything. August and I are continually amazed by his intelligence...just tonight we were reading a book and when I said the word "more", Caleb made the sign for it. I couldn't believe he signed the word when he wasn't trying to get more food out of us. I know other toddlers are doing these same things...but it's just so amazing when you see your own kid, who a year ago couldn't even sit up, communicating with you! He's just our little super star!

Caleb loves to supervise as we're cooking dinner...

...well really he just likes to snack.

Here is Caleb trying out his birthday bike. It's been so cold here that there isn't a lot of time to play outside, but we do what we can!

A few shots of Caleb playing indoors.

And last but not least, Caleb has been known to eat food off of his tray with no hands...I think he's learned eating with no hands from Molly. Well the other day he was eating Kix like this and got one stuck to his forehead. It was HILARIOUS. This kid has a real knack for getting food stuck to his head, I swear.
