Mr. Slobber decided to start crawling, outside!


Mommy wanted to see what he did with real veggies. Of course, he choked!


Favorite place to go - where he's not supposed to be! The girls don't mind though, they share well.

Hunting for Easter eggs at Grandma Sandy's! 'Look I found one!'

'Gotcha!'

I'm a big boy, and look what I got! Having some Easter fun!

Daddy found a way to keep him stationary again!!

He found his way to the back door all by himself

Bubble bath!!! He liked it but it was hard to find his toys.

Just crawling all over the place - happy boy!

Playing outside at Grammie's house! Loved it!

Fascinated with Charlie's panting...'what's wrong with her!??'

'eh, she's boring - what's next?'

Showing off his standing abilites, 'I don't need no stinkin' chair!'

Loves the piano part now that he figured out how to BANG on it!

He really loves bath time, he just couldn't get enough

Playing inside with his toy. He scooted all over the floor.

Very determined to move this thing, or tip it over! I love it!!

Another one

This second one is of Caleb playing with the same toy at home. He kept getting so much speed that he eventually moved the table. I had to move him to the carpet, so he wouldn't get stuck or tip it over!

Playing outside

The first one is sitting outside at Grammy's playing with his toys. This is the first time he figured out he could walk in circles all by himself!

And he's off

He's going mobile

Well, the day is here at last - not that I was wishing for it by any means. I don't have the house baby-proofed, I can't imagine what all he'll get into, and it means that he's going to inevitably get hurt routinely. But Caleb can crawl all directions now. He has been going backwards for about 2-3 weeks and he just started last week to realize he could roll around and get things. Now he figured out he can go forward on all fours and get there faster.
We had a grill out last night and while I started the grill, he and I just sat out on the patio and I decided I'm going to get a few videos (since still pictures now won't do anyone any good!). He just loved being outside, trying out the new texture of concrete, and now crawling. Within the hour we were out there he went from not moving to 'leave me alone mom, I've got things to do' :)
As you can see in the video he was very happy and I can't wait until it stays warmer longer, so we can be out there for a while and he can get down in the grass.
Well, besides crawling now, he still only has 2 teeth (although some days I swear more are coming in), he is starting meat and has had some crackers, still loves bathtime and is the happiest baby I've ever seen. He loves to go to daycare and see Robin and all the kids (which he gets completely exhausted from so we all go to bed early) and now he's starting to like going to the store with Mommy and see all the new stuff. I'm not exactly sure what he weighs, but he is in 12 month clothes all around and some of them are getting small. He's definately a big boy, but in my eyes he's perfect! Caleb will be 8 months next week and I just can't believe it went that fast. Before I know it, he'll be older than I was pregnant, and that seemed forever!
I hope to keep my camera on me at all times this summer and get lots of pictures so I can let you all see him grow and learn new things!
Take care!

YEEESSSS!

So here is proof that my baby can talk...even if he isn't quite sure what he's saying. Although, if you see him talking during the day, you'd think he does know what it means. He waits until I leave the room and starts saying 'Mamma Mum Mama' and then looks toward where I left.

Oh and I couldn't get a shot of it since it was hard enough to get him to talk on camera, there was no way I was going to get a shot of his first TOOTH!!!!

Yes, we are having a fun and busy last couple weeks with this 6 month pictures, a tooth, double ear infections, and now he's talking! Oh, he pulled himself up on my pant leg from a sitting position a couple nights ago. He just grabbed my pants while I was sitting with him and straightened his legs and just pulled - then he was standing. Now he keeps trying to do it in the tub or wherever he can get a hold of something! Daddy is still trying to get him to walk, so I think with him standing up and Isaac working with him, we might see some real movement from him soon - and I haven't even started to baby-proof the house! UGH!

The baby food is going good. He is getting puffs and thanks to Gran (my mom) he now knows to stick them in his mouth and not just feed them to the dogs! And he is trying to get the hang of a sippy cup. He know what to do, but just doesn't get his head back far enough to get much out. He is moving to the 2nd food, slowly, but I couldn't resist this weekend and had him try MacNCheese! He seemed to like it ok, but I tasted it and it wasn't really that good - so he'll be surprised when he gets the real stuff.

I think that's about it for now. I'll try to keep more pics and stuff updated so you can see his changes - and they are sure coming along!
