ROADTRIP TO SAN ANTONIO

Kaleb got to meet his great grandmother this past week. We drove to San Antonio by way of Abilene (for my 10 year college reunion). Kaleb did so well in the car and did not get antsy until the last hour of the trip each way...What a blessing to have such a cooperative kid ( I know we havent hit the toddler stage yet, but he has been an incredible baby)

Kaleb got to meet his 3rd cousin Gage who is three. Gage LOVES football and kept telling Kaleb to tackle him, and by the end of the night he was doing it on his own. I just hope that doesn't carry over to daycare!

Here is our four generation picture above

We also celebrated Kaleb's birthday a week early so that GiGi, grandad and great grandmommy could enjoy in the fun too! Kaleb was very surprisingly gentle with his cake at first...then after Jason pushed his head into it once, he did it himself. He eventually got down to the cake and seemed to thoroughly enjoy it.

PLAY DATES

So, Kaleb and I have enjoyed some recent play dates. Abby and him enjoyed (kind of) dressing up in Kaleb's halloween outfits. He still doesnt like the big giraffe head and Abby the monkey was trying to help him out!

Kaleb had a blast following Casey around the house trying to do what big boys do...Casey is about 7 months older than Kaleb...and alot tanner too...check out how pasty Kaleb is in comparison.

BUT I DONT WANT TO BE A GIRAFFE!!

So I found an adorable halloween costume at our church consignment sale...We tried it on and he did not seem to like it too much. It is for a 2 year old, but it was so cute i had to get it...apparently your neck muscles are alot stronger when you're two b/c K-man did not appreciate the cool, but heavy giraffe head. I also got a monkey costume, but it is way too big, so he can wear it next year. Kaleb does however enjoy dragging these costumes around the house like a stuffed animal/blanket.

Teething

Kaleb has been a little behind in getting his teeth. Now he has 3 coming in at once. Here he is double fisting his teeting rings and drooling like a champ! But he takes it all in stride.

Unrelated: The other day Kaleb went and picked up Jason's dirty socks that he had worn all day that were by the door. He runs over to where I was sitting on the floor and sticks them in my face laughing hysterically. He is definately Jason's kid. Jason does that to me all the time saying "see how hard i've worked today", but I dont recall him doing it since Kaleb's been around.

Now I know that Kaleb is not cognitivly developed enough to know what he was really doing, but we thought it was halarious, due to the history of Jason and his dirty socks.

DINNER TIME!

Lately, Kaleb has been getting very excited about dinner time. He loves to eat now that he can feed himself with his fingers (although in the video we are feeding him w/ a spoon). I think its making us more conscience of what we eat, noting that we need to eat more vegetables. I think his favorite is chicken, especially in enchiladas!

Thanks for the comments! It motivates me to write more b/c I know people are actually looking. Of course I look at your blogs all the time and never comment, so I really dont expect anyone to do any different, but its good to hear from ya'll that I dont see too often!

Our son, the orangutan

Ever since we started giving Kaleb real bananas to eat, he's been running around the house swinging his arms in the air...hmmm...

Kaleb's new pad

I went to a consignment sale the other day and found this cool house for Kaleb. The only problem was that its huge and I dont know where to put it. So as of now, its in the smack dab middle of our living room.
He has not figured out which is the window and which is the door yet though...But he has had so much fun w/ it so far.
