We finally have a walker!!!!!

Caleb is finally walking! He has been walking for a couple of weeks now. It started with a step every once and a while and he has finally succeeded in walking. It almost seems as if he is wanting to run. He looks way to little to be walking. My wonderful mother-in-law offered to but his first walking shoes as she has done with her other grandchildren. Greg and I went to Stride Rite on Wednesday and bought him a pair of super cute brown shoes. He loves his shoes.

News....

So, I haven't blogged in a long time. I have been extremely tired once I get home from work. I don't know why I would be tired..... teaching 60 9 and 10 year old kids, chasing a 1 year old around the house, and trying to think of something to cook for dinner. Not to mention..... I'M PREGNANT!!!! We are 13 weeks pregnant although I know my ticker says 12 weeks. When I went to my first Dr. appointment, the ultrasound showed I was 1 week further than I thought. The due date is 6/12/09. My Dr. is keeping it at the 12 week due date. So far everything looks fine. The baby actually looked like a baby. I tried to scan the picture, but at this time, the scanner is not working. I go back on Thursday for my next appointment. She will keep a close eye on me towards the end and there is the possibility I may be on bed rest at the end to keep me from going into labor early as I did with Caleb. I think we have a trend at our house.... Caleb was born during a tropical storm, celebrated his first birthday during Hurricane IKE which resulted in Baby #2 who will be born during hurricane season.

Caleb truely is a monkey

My wonderful in-laws watched Caleb for us today. My babysitter was unable to do it yeah for us Billy and Carolyn came home from their camping trip last night. Well, Caleb was taking a nap and woke up. Carolyn heard him playing and decided to leave him there for a couple more minutes. Of course, I have done this many, many times. Billy decided to go check on him. Boy did he find a surprise. Caleb was playing with his poop. It was all over him. I asked Caleb in the car if he played with his poop and he told me "no no". Once I got home, I asked Greg "Don't monkeys also play with their poop?"

The Stairs

Caleb and I were at my mom's house tonight since Greg was on nights. Granny was in town, so it was a great time for her to see Caleb. Mama and daddy just had new hardwood floors installed and Caleb had a great time crawling around the house. I was going upstairs to show my mom a funny youtube video I had seen the night before about a little boy biting his brother's finger. I decided to see what Caleb would do on the stairs. He first looked around to see if he was going to get a "no, no". I stayed right behind him to make sure he didn't fall. He climbed the entire first set of stairs and almost the second set. It is time for them to get a gate!

No, No!!!

No is a word that Greg and I have to frequently say to Caleb. He understands the word, but often chooses not to obey it. Caleb has begun throwing his food on the floor when he doesn't want it. We are trying to teach him to leave it alone which is difficult for a 1 year old to understand. Last night Caleb was eating and of course, began to throw food on the floor. Greg told Caleb "no" and he stuck out his bottom lip as far as it would go. I have to admit it is awfully cute when that bottom lip sticks out. Anyway, as Greg was telling him no, he grabbed another piece of food and was very sneaky when he throw it on the floor. We were not sure at first if he actually threw it, but we found it under his highchair. Of course I had to turn my head and laugh especially when he gave us that "What did I do?" look.

I really do believe he is going to be like his daddy.

Caleb's First Haircut

Caleb had his first haircut today. I had been wanting to let it grow out, but decided to get it cut. I actually had the courage today to get it cut. We were lucky because Sports Clips was open. Greg also needed a haircut, so Caleb went first and then Greg went. He began crying and they gave him a lollipop which calmed him down briefly. He looks soooo cute now. He looks like a little man.

Happy Birthday Caleb!!!!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BABY BOY!!!

Caleb turned 1 year old on Saturday, September 13th. He was born during a tropical storm and celebrated his 1st birthday during a hurricane. I made cupcakes the night before the storm hit because I knew my previous plans of going out to eat on his birthday would not be happening.

We grilled chicken with our neighbors. I bought a present for Caleb to open. He loves his train. Caleb really enjoyed his cupcake. He even licked the plate.

Caleb, mama and daddy love you sooo much. You have been a great blessing to us. Thank you for being a precious son. Happy 1st birthday!
