Caleb's First Ear Infection

Caleb got his first ear infection this past weekend. Started out as a cold, but turned into an ear infection. Here he is taking one of his breathing treatments. We've had to do these before when he had an upper respiratory infection a month or so ago, so he is a pro at them. He likes for us to read to him during the treatments, so we read. We read the same books over and over again, so much that I have them memorized. "Who Love You Baby?" "Mirror Me" and "A Night Night Prayer" - his favorite ones lately.

Praise the Lord that Caleb is starting to feel better. We are so thankful to God for his health and protection.

Some More Firsts

GRITS!!! YES PLEASE!

This past Sunday morning, I was eating some grits before church. Caleb seemed interested, so I let him try a bite. He loved them!!! He liked them so much that I had to make another serving. YUMMY!

LIL BISCUIT FOR CALEB

Caleb likes these teething biscuits too! They are tasty and give him good practice at self-feeding. It has become a recent habit for us to practice self-feeding during Caleb's afternoon snack time. His favorite finger food right now is yogurt melts. He loves them! So, I put one in my hand or on his chair and let him pick it up and feed himself. Once he gets it in his mouth, I start clapping as hard as I can (and sometimes I even jump around :) and say "YEA!!!! Good job! Good job, Caleb!" Then, I say "Give me a high 5!" And I help him give me a high 5. Sometimes, he raises his hand for me. YEAH CALEB!

Cardboard Boxes for Caleb

Cardboard boxes and bubble wrap paper - Mom's Best Friend

We got some packages in the mail and for the next hour, Caleb played with the boxes and bubble wrap.... oh how fun!

WHERE'S CALEB?

THERE HE IS!

Basketball Time

Caleb loves his basketball goal! He can make baskets if he wants, but he's more interested in watching the scoreboard and listening to the sounds it makes when Mommy scores.

Caleb is 11 Months Old!

Swishing his feet in the dirt

The one smile I could get out of him ... too much to soak in

He looks just like his daddy from the back - they both have an ear that pokes out farther than the other - how cute!

Playing with the grass

One of Caleb's new faces...

He also likes to close his eyes and scrunch up his nose, almost like if he closes his eyes, then we can't see him.

Swinging in the Park

Caleb LOVES to swing! YEEEE!

Jumperoo Fun

Caleb still loves his jumperoo!!! His favorite part is the bug that's in his right hand. He almost always jumps holding it. He jumps and jumps, but he also swings and sways back and forth. It is so funny to watch and it's still one of Caleb's most favorite parts of the day! Thank you Lord for jumperoo fun!

Dressed up for Church

Before dropping me off in the nursery, Mommy took some pictures of me in my stylish outfit that B and Bo-Pop gave me for Christmas. Cheese!

Getting Ready for Easter

Bath Time

Splish Splash Caleb's Taking A Bath!!!

Bath Time has become more like Getting Soaked Time for Mommy. Caleb loves swishing his legs back and forth as fast as he can, and he loves to splash his hands in the water. He splashes so hard that his face is soaked with water, but he keeps on splashing anyways. Mommy has learned to use Caleb's bath towel to protect herself from his splashes... otherwise, she ends up soaked like the bathroom floor. Caleb also loves his bath toys. Lately, his favorite has been the purple surfboard that he's playing with here. He will grab it, shift it back and forth between his hands, throw it, pick it back up, and start all over again.
