"BOATINGS NOT FOR ME"

Finally! the weather is warm, the day is right...we head out for the open sea (lake)...we thought little man would be a water lover just like us...but much to our dismay he was miserable the entire time... his huge lifejacket which he is required to be in at all times on the boat until he is 13 years old was pushing up his little cheeks and he couldnt even move his head! He did love the bouncing up and down when we drove fast, but it was more stressful then relaxing to be out on the lake this weekend...so, i guess little man will have to hang out with the babysitter until he fits better into his life jacket...

Mother's Day

We had a great first mother's day...Kaleb gave me a heart locket w/ a pearl chain with his picture in it...pretty smart 6 month old, huh! we also went out to lunch at Noshvilles restaurant and then went to the Frist museum to see the Monet to Dali exhibit with Andrew and Ulla who were in town for the weekend...Kaleb did good and enjoyed the impressionist error, but got a little hypnotised w/ the pointillism paintings and took a good nap. Jason then made steak for dinner on the grill...so, i must again say...it was a good day!

Peas Please...

We started feeding Kaleb at around 5 1/2 months...he took to it right away...so far he's had peas, green beens and carrots and cereal...his favorite seems to be the peas though...sometimes he takes the spoon and feeds himself...he's becoming a little man...he also likes to talk while he's eating...the whole way thru the meal...we keep telling him that it's rude, but he doesn't seem to care! even though he's eating well he has seemed to have shrunk...he is now in the 10th %tile for weight where he was in the 80th %tile at birth...oh well, that seems to be more in line w/ jas and me...

Kaleb gets his first tractor ride with Uncle Brett. It was all he could do to hold in his excitement!!! He will remember this ride forever.

Kaleb's Longest Laugh, yet!!

Kaleb thinks that Uncle Brett is pretty funny. Sorry about the picture quality but the sound is what is important!!

New Discoveries

I found my FEET!! Kaleb has loved playing with his new favorite toy- his feet! They can keep him occupied for hours! He has also started raising his arms when we lift him up. He loves stomach zirberts and laughs and laughs. We can't get enough! The other day he was sitting in his high chair and dropped his toy and looked down for it. Wow, what a smart kid...you may think that most kids do that months earlier, but don't bust a proud mom's bubble. I dont want to know..

Kaleb has some really cool red sunglasses that we hope to use soon when we get the boat out...more pics to come. We are really looking forward to the nice weather and the new activities that it will bring. Now I'm still working part time and enjoying being out of the house, but I can't wait until I can spend time with Kaleb at the neighborhood pool. Soon the Wade grandparents will be in town and we are looking forward to their visit. Kaleb can show off some of his skills that only parents and grandparents appreciate.

Kaleb is now about 25.25 inches long and between 15-16 pounds. We dont go for an official weighing until next month. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Visit to Great Grandmommie's house

In March we went to visit great grandmommie...although she didn't like to be called "great" so we settled on just grandmommie...Kaleb made another successul trip to Olive Garden and was an angel. He's made many trips to restaurants, the mall, and church and I must say he is a very well behaved baby...he must take after his mom..hehe! He still has his red hair and great smile
