Mother's Day

Mother's Day has been extra special the last couple of years and not just because I'm a mother myself now. Last year on Mother's Day was Caleb's baby dedication at church and the year before we told all the Antee family we were pregnant and Caleb was on his way.

My little man is 17 months old today! Each month I post how I can't believe its gone so fast and how big he's gotten and the next month the same thing happens! Whoever is pushing the fast forward button needs to stop! He really changes so much each month and this month he is talking more than ever. Caleb's always babbled and loved to hear himself talk, yes thats an Antee trait! But these last two months he's really talking even more. He will copy anything you say, this could be a scary thing! :) He's picked up a couple more signs and smiles so big when using them. Like he's so proud of himself that we know what he's saying. And he loves reading more than ever! After finishing one book you think you've done your duties and he goes and gets you another one, not stopping until there's a huge pile of books on the floor. We are lucky if we get a pass after each book to read a new one and not have to read the same one two or three times. But I love that he loves reading and I will cherish every minute of him crawled up in my lap smiling and laughing at the stories! Because before I know it he'll be reading them himself and not want to cuddle with his old uncool momma! Some of his favorites right now are: Cool Time Song, Where the Wild Things Are, Raindrop Plop, A Mudpie for Mother, Goodnight Moon

Doesn't he just look so grown up!! I know every picture I post I say that but where did my baby go!!!

Trying to get a cute picture of both of us is quite difficult! The cutest ones of him are terrible of me. I have come to terms with the fact that I am not as photogenic as Tyler and Caleb. I'll settle with this one.

I love this of Caleb but I swear my face is not this fat in person!!! :)

Caleb and Daddy got me some lanterns from Pottery Barn to go in our new bathroom and Caleb got me a Smoothie King gift card. I think its more for him because he knows I'll share and he LOVES smoothies!!

Flashback to last year, 2009: Caleb's dedication at Calvary

This was two years ago when we told my family we were expecting. It took them a little while to get the point of the plates and to see the ultrasound pic taped to them.
