Happy Birthday Caleb!!
One, One, One is so much Fun, Fun, Fun!!!
One year has flown by and now my baby boy is a little walkin talkin little toddler! It happened so fast! I can hardly believe it! He is still our 'lots of fun' little guy with a smile on his face and a wave hi and bye! Caleb is one happy boy!
Caleb had a great check-up at his 12 month appointment:
Weight: 22 lbs 2 oz (41%tile)
Height: 30 in (83%tile)
Head: 18 (31%tile)
A few things about Caleb:
- signs 'milk'
- opens the toilet seat--not my favorite trick and luckily hasn't thrown anything in the toilet-yet!
- he's a good little walker
- says mama & dadda & bob--who ever that is!
- feeds himself--that is with his hands!
- his favorite food is rice and his favorite veggies are cauliflower and broccoli
To celebrate the BIG Boy's Birthday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Lewis's for a PARTY!
There are two other special birthdays: Nate's birthday is two days before Caleb's and cousin Garrett's is two days before Nate's! So we really did have a cause for celebration!
The 3 birthday boys!
Aunt Trish made Caleb his very own basketball birthday cake! Daddy is enticing him and showing him how to chow down!
He's thinking about it! It sure looks good!
The black icing--turned out to be blue! He's starting to get the hang of it!
Caleb thinks this is pretty darn fun!
Love the blue smile--it says it all!
Taking a break from the cake to play with the ball!

Oh boy Caleb is one blue smurfy mess! When he was all done eating (or making a mess) Nate and I picked him up arms and legs carfully carried him into the bathtub where we washed him off and cleaned him up. Yes the bath water turned blue and yes he had to have two baths! But it was so fun to watch Caleb dimolish his cake and I wonder if he did actually eat any!
That was the sweetest, stickiest, bluest kiss I've ever had!
Look at these cute boys eating their cake and ice-cream! Less mess! Using a spoon! Maybe by next year at this time Caleb will have learned from his brother and cousin a few manners and be a little more polite!!
To celebrate our big boy's 1st birthday Mara, Caleb and I went out to lunch to Wendy's! This was Caleb's first time eating french fries! Yum! Mara loved feeding Caleb the frosty! That was very tasty as well! I know--not the most nutricious lunch for kids but hey it was his birthday!
I made a three layered, melt-in-your mouth, very chocolate, from scratch birthday cake! WOW! Just looking at the pictures makes my mouth water and want more! It was quite delicious!
Even the birthday boy enjoyed his cake--enjoyed playing in it more like it! We invited some of our friends over for cake and ice-cream. Ty and Mara loved having friends come play.
