We had an absolutely awesome time with all our family and friends! I’m hoping my idea works so that everyone will be able to see more pictures (ie. galleries). In the future, you can click on the link in the right column but for now… try clicking on the picture below :O) All these pictures will be password protected so contact me for the password.
I turned 9 months old today :O) I met all my daddy’s aunts, his uncle and a couple cousins! It was lots of fun! I was very popular :O)
So the cutest thing happened tonight…Caleb found Charlie’s ear :O) Caleb has been all about textures for as long as we’ve known him. He likes to scratch a lot and just feel everything. Tonight he must have thought Charlie and his ear felt really good because he spent about 15 minutes just running his hand down Charlie’s neck and pulling on his ear. Charlie was a really good dog and didn’t make a peep during all this. He just laid there, except for when he licked Caleb a few times :O) The pictures were so cute I had to include more than one :O)
Funny story…
I was in the line at the post office today with Caleb in our stroller. I had the stroller facing behind me so I could get to my purse that I put in the basket underneath. There happened to be an Asian man standing next in line. Behind him a young girl (15 or so) asked the man if Caleb was his. He quickly said no not mine and you could tell he didn’t speak English all that well. So I chimed in to say he was mine. The girl then asked, “is he 1/2 Asian?” I said, “he’s whole Asian. I adopted him from Taiwan.” She said, “oh, cool. Well, he’s cute. He keeps looking at this man.” I said, “well, he probably looks familiar.” They both laughed.
This week Caleb did a lot of new things…at least new to us :O)
Attended his first tea.
Took his first “cruising” steps along the sofa.
Ate his first cheerios using his pincer grasp for the first time.
Also feeding himself for the first time.
Sat up at 90 degrees without falling over backward for the first time.
Took his first major road trip to visit family.
(And sorry I was a “bad” mama for not getting pictures of absolutely everything.)
Caleb was the ladies man :O) He escorted his 3 cousins, Candace, Elizabeth and Vanessa (pictured above) as well as his mama, his 2 aunts and his mimi (Cary’s mom) to the tea.
Our road trip was to visit Jyll’s uncle O.B. (her dad’s brother) who was diagnosed with leukemia a few months ago. He’s been in the hospital ever since, too sick to have visitors until now. He’s had 3 rounds of chemo which has resulted in him loosing 84 lbs and has been really hard on his liver, causing his jaundice. Please keep him in your prayers. He’s doing much better now but will have to return for 5 more rounds of chemo starting at the first of the year.
Caleb REALLY likes shoes! His shoes, mom’s shoes, dad’s shoes, everybody’s shoes whether on or off the foot! The proof is in the pictures :O)
Such a cute little man!
