Nine months ago today my world was turned upside down in the best way. I couldn't have imagined the effect such a tiny sweet little boy would have on the rest of my life! I knew I would love him instantly but the depth of that love is beyond what I could've comprehended. It is crazy how fast it has gone by! I look at him now and I can't imagine that only 9 months ago he was just making his grand arrival. The places he's been and the things he's done in such a short time!!
Here's what he's up to this month:
- EVERYTHING!! His favorites are the fridge, the fireplace, the end tables/coffee table and everything thats on it, and still the dvd/ tivo box cabinet. Oh and I can't forget the doggy bowls, splish, splashing in the water.
-pulling up and standing on everything: He loves standing on the doggy gate and looking for the puppies. When Mommy's sitting in her chair, he loves to pull up and give a big smile and then go back on his way. Just dropping in to say hello. Another favorite is standing on the french doors watching what's going on outside.
- exploring and analyzing everything. Caleb will play with something and its like you can see his wheels turning trying to figure it out and then of course he tries to see how it tastes!
- going up and down stairs! If there are stairs he will find them! He's gotten good at 2-3 stairs but if there are more than that he's likely to just slide down head first :)
- still no teeth: They're just waiting and getting stronger before they pop :)
- Caleb's moved up to the big boy car seat! But we do still have it rear facing. I can't wait to switch it but he doesn't seem to mind as long as he's sitting up and not laying back in that carrier.
-Little Gym: I swear I call MiMi or Papa and Nina after every class because he's done something new and funny at Little Gym! He just loves exploring all the equipment and playing with his friends. He was squealing and laughing so hard swinging on the rings the last time.
Things Caleb loves:
- giving hugs and kisses! Caleb has always been so cuddly and lovable but I just love it how he comes in for the hugs and kisses now instead of Mommy just stealing them! He just comes in and attacks and I love it!! I still steal plenty!!
- laughing and smiling
- playing with friends. If Caleb sees another baby or even a bigger kid, he takes off to go play! I love watching him interact with other kids! Caleb was playing chase with the Kimball boys the other day. They were so sweet how well they played with him.
- Tiger and Gracie!!!
- eating!! This boy is a true Antee! He can put away some food. I think I'm raising a pig! I hope he stays a good eater as he gets older. There isn't anything I found that he doesn't like yet. Now he begs, yes like the puppies, for food from Mommy and Daddy when we are eating. Like all that he just ate isn't enough :)
It amazes me how every day I love him more and more! I feel so blessed to have this sweet angel as part of my life and to be able to watch and witness all the great things God has in store for him!
