10 months - July 25

We can't believe it is almost August - where has the summer gone?!? It has been a very busy, yet fun month with no free weekends. We started off the month with a 4th of July house project, then a niece and nephew's birthday party in Bryan, a weekend in Horseshoe Bay, a few days in Austin swimming with Julie's family, a day at Six Flags (no Caleb on this one), and a lot of fun between them all. Caleb spouted his fourth tooth (and boy are his top two teeth far apart). At the beginning of the month Caleb had a lot of firsts!! He started standing (with assistance). Up to this point he never wanted to put any weight on his little legs, occasionally he would in his exosaucer, jumper, or johnny jumper. Also, at Caleb's 9 month appointment we got the approval to start working on his pincer grasp by allowing him finger foods. Within a few days of this he was a pro, feeding himself by the handful, and what an independence this is from Mommy and Daddy.
Another first was his first haircut from Mimi. It is a tradition to have Mimi do the cutting and we all did a great job. She is the great family barber. Now that a month has gone by, he could probably use another haircut. (any appointments free Mimi?) With this new freedom of finger foods, Caleb went to one of our favorite eating places, Chick-fil-a!! We happened to go on Customer Appreciation Day and we happened to have a costume in the car for a free meal - what a coincidence. He loved his chicken nuggets and shared his fries and drink with Mommy. Please feel free to click here to vote for our little cow in the "Show Us The Cow" contest. This is one of our favorite photos. Like Father, Like Son!!! Caleb had a grand time playing with this water at his cousin's birthday party. And we wonder where he gets it from. Maybe now that his "plumbing" is all fixed he will be going like this in no time! HA! This sweet picture that wraps up Caleb's big day at the pool, wraps up the past month.
