Big Boy Bed!!!

Caleb's New Big Boy Bed!!!

Testing out my new bed (it was in the living room until Mom could get it upstairs).

"I go night-night"... this is so much fun!

Reeeeeach for that book! I've been doing the same thing in my room.

Caleb absolutely loves his new Big Boy Bed, but it hasn't been so easy for Mom and Dad! He's very anxious to jump in (and on) the bed, so all of the routine he has had for a long time has gone completely out of the window. Hopefully we get one soon!!! He is sleeping in his bed, and is excited to be able to get out by himself in the morning, the problem is getting him to fall asleep without a big to-do!

Pumpkins and Wagons

 Going to help Mommy in the back garden...

 Can we put a pumpkin in my wagon???

 It fits! Now, I just have to pull it to the house...

A day in the life of Caleb

Play-Doh time with my best-friend,
Ya Ya (aka. Cayden)

Daddy's sandals... I put them on by myself, too!

...things were good until I tripped over my Elmo book

Helping Daddy in the dirt

...scoop

throw it!! (look closely--the dirt's really in the air)

Windy days are great for bubbles!
(I haven't quite gotten the hang of blowing them myself...)

Scissors 101 with Daddy


snip!


yes, I stamped pink bunnies on my cheeks.
And the blond highlights? Yep, they're natural.
This is my "I've- been-playing-hard-all-day-sweaty-look"

me and my monkey scissors

....and time for bed.

Going for a car ride

Watch out streets - here I come!

Little Red Wagon and other fun

Feet up, relaxed,

and the book is upside down...

Now that's some good readin'!!!

Helping Daddy water the plants with my little cup

LITTLE RED WAGON!!!

We went for Caleb's first wagon ride a couple days ago and he loved it! The last block of the trip though, he wanted to be the one to pull the wagon. Here are some pictures of the homestretch (after Mom was able to run in the house and get the camera).

Finding dandelions...



Carrying the collected weeds/dandelions that were picked and put in the wagon...

A day with farm animals

**About a month ago we visited the Martin-Heiner Family and spent time with their chicks. We got really lucky though when their down the road neighbors called to say their horse had just had a colt and said we could all come over to see it! So we ventured over to see the horses. Caleb loved all of the "neigh" animals! He was really good at 'trying' to feed them - not quite succesful at it - but he enjoyed himself.

If You Give a Cat a Cupcake

Caleb is really starting to take even more of a liking to books lately. During the day he will pick up just about any book and want to read it; however, at night, he has a stack of specific books that he lets us choose from. We know we've read them a lot, and of course (as his parents!) we think he is smart, but we were flabergasted this last week when he started filling in the blanks on almost every page of a couple of his books!
