Caleb loves playing with the camera from his monitor. I always crack up when I check on him and I see his sweet little face right in the camera. This time when he pulled it down it came in his crib instead of falling behind it, like it usually does. So I had a good laugh watching him playing/eating the camera.
Nap #2 today: After I heard some funny noises coming through the monitor, I decided I needed to go check out what little man was doing in his crib. Notice the camera tied down to the top of his crib :) Here's what I saw:
At the end of this next video you can see what has become the best milestone thus far: getting down by himself!! For the last week or two we have had to put Caleb to bed COMPLETELY asleep because he would climb up and not be able to get down. Which would start either an up and down battle between him and I or a very long cry it out before either way, I finally give up and go rock him to sleep. Now I can put him in his bed when he starts rubbing his eyes or fussing and he'll play or fuss for a little bit and then lay down and go to sleep (most of the time). He'll stand, get down and play, stand again and finally just give in the sleep. This also helps while he's playing in the living room. No more screaming for help to get down from the doggy gate, chair, couch, table, and everything else he manages to get up on.
I've given up hope that little man looks like me!! I used to think I had a little bit in there but after seeing this picture, there's no chance! I guess I can't complain since he is so cute! (and I'm not biased even the slightest bit!! :) ) That blonde hair and big blue eyes!! Gotta love him!
Caleb testing out his new big boy chair that Todd and Jennifer passed down to us. He was so ready to get out of that carrier. His legs and head were hanging off the ends. Now he can sit up and not always be leaning back.
The boys saw the hill and immediately went straight down. Thank goodness for the thick patch of grass before the water. We had a small crash but no kiddos went swimming!
