Month 16 - January 25

We think the word for this month should be exploration. Not only does Caleb love walking all over the place (with a little assistance or holding something in his hands for comfort, like string, a toy, a crayon, shoes, or clothes-picture below.) But he also has been exploring/climbing to great heights in our home and has learned to do so by himself. Our little climber learned instantly how to use a step ladder. Caleb has even discovered climbing into our ottomon/toy box
And he still enjoys climbing behind two large plants and playing "hide-and-go-seek"
Like Father Like Son...
Caleb is just like his Daddy in so many ways, more than doing exactly what his Daddy does all the time but, Caleb LOVES "Shhhh" (shoes) just like his Daddy did at this age. Big Boy using a spoon by himself. He is so proud of himself when he feeds himself but it sure does take a while :) Caleb is showing off his new haircut that Daddy gave for him. It is his fourth one and could probably use another one.

Our church has been celebrating their 10 year anniversary. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon they had an incredible party with bounce houses, pony rides, a band, and plenty of carnival food yummies. We had a great time and Caleb enjoyed "walking" everywhere. Maybe next time he can go in the bounce houses and ride the pony. This is our attempt of a family picture with an active little boy. Caleb is enjoying his first ever roasted corn on the cob. He ate a ton of it especially with his new molars. He now has a grand total of 12 teeth!!

We have been enjoying this incredible weather in the middle of January and went to the Arboretum with friends in our Community (We missed Laura and baby Braysen. Sorry you two weren't there. We will have to do it again soon). Entertainment with the deer statues
Caryn and her sweet boys, Stacey and Wyatt Cori and precious Grace Kristin, Sorry I don't know how I don't have a single picture of you and Cade.

It has been a fun, relaxing, and very enjoyable month! "Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children." Charles Swindoll
