Caleb Lately...

It's about time I give another update on my life.  So here are a few pictures of what I've been up to...

 Of course I like to hang out with mommy and daddy all the time! 

 I love laughing and smiling!  

 I recently got to visit Anders, who stopped by on his way down with HIS mommy and daddy to L.A.  We met in Portland a few months ago, but now we've both grown more and had fun seeing each other again!

 I really liked seeing his mommy and daddy, LaVonne and Weston! (i think mommy and daddy liked it too)

 I'm pretty good at standing up, but mommy said I can only do it myself for a couple seconds at a time.  I think she's just too worried and doesn't realize how strong I really am! :)  Oh, and I LOVE playing with this toy that someone gave me.  It has music and teaches letters, colors and all kinds of things.  I don't really understand it all yet so I just hit it a lot!

 Now that I can roll (pictures soon), I like exploring the room and everything in it!  

 It's great, too, cuz if I ever get into something I shouldn't, all I have to do is give a really cute look and I'm out of trouble! :)  hmm, wonder how long I'll get away with that! :)

 More smiles....the other day i laughed and laughed, more than ever, when mommy copied me sticking out my tongue.  If you want to see the video, go to our video blog- mattandcherylovideos.blogspot.com

 I get so excited every time we get my Bible out to read before getting ready for bed!  I always hit the book several times before even opening it!  Mommy and Daddy said to tell whoever recommended this one that they LOVE it!!!  GREAT choice!

 Something else I can do now is let mommy and daddy know what I want to go see, just by looking at it with lots of excitement.  The other day I was walking with mommy and let her know I wanted to go see my car seat!  She put me in it and it was so fun!

 I finally got to use my highchair for the first time about a week ago.  We got it out so that I could try sitting up in it before starting solid foods!  I loved it, so I hit it a whole bunch too! :)

 I even got to try out my spoon...but mommy took it away cuz she said I was going to gag myself.  Oh well.

 :)

 Check this out!  I can even hold my own bottle now!  I drop it now and then but mostly hold it really well!

 Me and Mommy!....and the finger I like to suck on all the time! 

 We tried to get a family self portrait, but it's kinda hard.  These are pretty good!  This is before mommy and daddy went on a short date to dinner.  I don't understand it all yet, but I'm pretty sure they must be right when they told me it's important for them to do things "just the two of them" sometimes.  I'm not worried...it took them almost 6 months to finally do it, so I'm pretty sure they still like hanging out with me too! :)

 I like snuggling and just chillin' with mom and dad sometimes.  I don't feel the need to constantly squirm around ALL the time anymore.

I'm also learning to sit up, but since I feel more sure of myself leaning way forward, I usually end up in a position like this.  This is one of my favorite toys...I hit it a lot too! :)  (Thanks Oma).  

Well, that's all for now.

Your're still here.  Really....you can go now....:)
