Life (at nine months)

OK, busy time of year. I'm barely getting to this. Christmas trees, architecture exams, deadlines, shopping. 'Tis the season. But those holiday pictures will be in the next blog.

For this one, Caleb is now out of the oven just as much as he was in the oven, so to speak. He is exploring and starting to "help" Mommy with the house work, as you will see. Caleb has discovered that there are things behind cabinet and draw faces. He also is eating more foods, including finger foods like grapes and avocados.

In addition to making some more sounds now (ba ba, etc.), he has started waving. When he goes down for a nap or to sleep at night, or occasionally when people leave - he will wave a little bit. No photographic proof yet, though. Caleb does have proof of some of his other adventures and endeavors:

Bouncing in the kitchen

Did you want the eggs? The wine? The ReddiWip?

Did you want Saran wrap or Aluminum foil for that?

Life (at eight months)

Wow, is parenting fun. Caleb is giggling and babbling. No crawling, though; so we're avoiding that mayhem so far. Five teeth and counting. Here are some recent pictures that Caleb would like to show you:

Life (at seven months)

I've been meaning to do these more often than once a month, but I just haven't been able to yet. Besides, what would I call the blog entry?
Caleb is looking more like a little boy, with his own personality. The pictures can't really express it, so stop by and see for yourself. So many pictures, how can we choose? Caleb will present his favorites:

The phone cord is my favorite chewy thingy.


Who doesn't like a trip in the washbasket?


I've got two bottom teeth, so you gotta brush 'em.


Mommy and daddy can make me giggle.


Another picture?


Is that the camera again?


I can sit up now all by myself.


I can spell my name.


One step closer to crawling...


It's football season.
