Nine months old already!

Nine months ago today I was holding a tiny-brand-new, chubby-cheek, perfect-in-every-way, precious baby boy....nine months later he is still that chubby-cheek, perfect-in-every-way precious little boy but a little bigger! How come nine months of pregnancy can last SOOOOO long and nine months with a baby goes by SOOOOO fast? I don't understand it?!

Caleb is Mr. Busy! He is always on the go! He loves to crawl. He loves crawling under things and inside things! He is pulling himself up on everything too!

Caleb's two favorite things right now are appliances!! He LOVES the fridge and every-time I open it he crawls as fast as he can to see what's inside! He also LOVES the dishwasher! He loves pulling out all the silverware and trying to pull out the plates! He's my little helper!

Caleb's finally decided that food isn't so bad! In fact he's doing a little better feeding himself table food--a little less gagging he's making progress! Tonight he tried a few noodles, he seemed to get more on his head than in his mouth! He's a pretty messy eater and usually needs a bath after each meal!
Caleb still loves bath time! Although now it's a joke to give him a bath because he's constantly trying to pull himself up on the tub, or crawl away only to slip face first, or if he's on his back he tries rolling over---ahhhh it's like trying to wrestle a little piggy! But he has a good time and we both get a workout!
Just for the record....
Yes I am taking a nap with my little boy! It is rare and I hardly ever take naps, but I must admit that it felt good to lay down with my baby and snuggle him! On Saturday I felt like I was getting a cold, but I also had an allergy attack--my throat and ears itched so bad and I finally gave in and took some allergy medicine. It knocked me out cold!

Here's something funny...
Same couch, red sweater, this is actually baby Ty! Caleb is now wearing these jammies and if you didn't know any better you would think that it was Caleb!

I kid you not I feel like I am going back in time...it's like having baby Ty all over again! Caleb reminds me so much of Ty, I don't know what it is! I know they are different boys but to me I see so much similarity! Take a look:

Well Ty and Caleb are both keepers and such cute little boys! I love them both so much!

Here is a funny clip of both my boys...in this 30 sec. clip you can see their cute little personalities!

What's not to love about a face like this:

A few other things about Caleb at nine months:

• He loves using his voice! He says 'ba ba ba ba' and makes lots of other sound!
• He loves strings: shoe strings, strings on pants or jackets, any kind of strings!
• His brother and sister call him: 'Little Chunkers'
• His favorite table foods are peas & corn
• He is a human vacuum: everything and I mean everything ends up in his mouth!
  
• He had his second haircut tonight--he's now starting to need them once a month like his big brother!
• He loves being outside and going for walks
  

Doesn't he look so clean and handsome after his bath and haircut?!
Caleb's all ready for bed: Good night!
