10 Months, and Changing Every Day

Thursday, 14 May 2009 14:36 by Melinda

Caleb is now 10 months old... almost a year, can you believe it?  He is such a joy to us, and brings us many smiles and giggles.  We feel so very blessed, and as a friend of mine mentioned recently, feel like we're getting a little glimpse of Heaven on Earth as we look into his eyes.  Since the last time I posted, we have had lots of adventures, and so I have lots of pictures to share.  I will start with what I discovered when I walked into Caleb's room the other morning...

 



Yep, that's my boy, standing in his crib, looking at me like, "Hey Mom, where ya been?"  And here's a shot of his "Kramer hair" (Seinfeld):

 

 

We went out on Grandad's boat with Grandad, Grandma, and Auntie Shell... Caleb got to see grass for the first time, and he got to drive the boat. Sweet!

 

 

We traveled to Santa Barbara, California, for Kelly and Felipe's wedding.  It was a great trip, and Caleb was AWESOME!  He had so much fun.  Here are some of those pics:

 






(he apparently gets very relaxed in his new stroller)

the Hollywood letters are behind us... I promise.

 




Caleb's self-styled faux hawk.

 

And here is a picture of Santa Barbara three days after we left...

 

And, here are some other recent pics:

no longer content to sit and play.. gotta stand!
