15 months of pure JOY!

It's hard to believe this little boy is 15 months old already.
Since the day he arrived he has brought so much JOY into our family.
Caleb makes us all laugh and he is such a pleasant baby.

At his 15 month check-up this little chubba bubba:
weighed in at 23 lbs (27%ile)
31 in (52%ile)
Head circumference 42 1/2 in (58%ile)
hmmmm....don't know what to think of all that!
He may not be as chubby as he looks!

Here are a few things about Caleb that he has learned, loves, and other silly things about our funny little boy...

Caleb has learned......how to use a spoon!

....the importance of safety
(he likes to wear Ty & Mara's helmets!)

...to fold his arms and close his eyes for prayer!

...where his tongue is!

...to blow bubbles in the bathtub
(and he thinks it's pretty funny!)

...to climb!
(oh no!)

...to shake his finger 'no-no-no' when he does something naughty!
(such as when he pulls things out of the drawers! NO Caleb!)

Caleb loves...
....his blue and yellow duck blanket!

....cheetos!
(That's one of his favorite snacks!)

...bathtime!
(Caleb's so big!)

...looking out the back window for birds and dogs.
(He loves even more going outside!)

...playing soccer!
(Caleb is a 'natural' at dribbling the soccer ball!)

...making a mess!
(He wipes his hands on his hair and usually ends up in the bath!)

...being chased and wrestled!

....finding mommy's cell phone and running away with it!



...watching out the window for daddy to come home.


"What a silly little boy"
Caleb still puts everything in his mouth!
Most times we use his binki as a plug--not for crying but to keep things out of his mouth!

We like to call Caleb "Fuzzy Head" and now you can see why: he really does have the fuzziest hair, especially after he sleeps!

I'm so glad Caleb was sent to our family! He sure is a joy to have around and we love him so much!

I sure am glad Caleb is in our family too. He is so smiley and pleasant to be around.
You are right. He is joyful. In every picture, he is smiling.
I think he might be a teaser when he is older. Hope he has a great sense of humor. It is a gift.

He is so cute, and it is so fun to watch him and Eli grow up together! I love the picture of him at the back window
