8 MONTHS OLD....
Caleb, you are such a sweet boy full of laugther and love!
Here are your milestones of lately:
~you weigh well over 18 pounds. we haven't been to the doctor to weigh you for a while!
~you are wearing both 9 and 12 month clothes!
~you are currently getting your 4th tooth! you have 3 on bottom, and both top teeth are driving you nuts! the right top one is visible now! it wakes you up in the night hurting you :(
~without teething, you are sleeping 10 hours at night. that puts waking up sometime between 6-6:45a.m. that's not so bad!
~you nurse 4 times a day. if you take a bottle, it's about 7oz.
~you take two naps a day and last week you started refusing for me to rock you. i lay you down, and you put yourself to sleep. another sign of growing up. each nap is usually between 1-2 hours.
~you love real food! your crazy mommy is making your baby food (i actually enjoy doing it) since last month we have added: bananas, peaches, green beans, carrots, squash, zucchini, oatmeal, and sweet potato puffs (as of yesterday)
~you have really become partial to your mommy. if i am in your room, then i am the only one you want! you reach for me, or grunt, or whimper. it is pretty silly! you also show us when you just want your daddy! you are definitely becoming vocal about your WANTS AND NEEDS!
~next on your food menu: plums, cantaloupe, and watermelon!
~you do not like your sippy cup AT ALL! i have tried two different ones and have tried juice and water in them. you are not interested one bit!
~you love your blankie so very much and love to play peek-a-boo with it!
~you sit up and are so very strong. you have a crazy reach and will grab anything close!
~you have perfected your army crawl, so now you roll and army crawl everywhere!
~your favorite thing to do STILL is to spit bubbles and vibrate your sweet little lips!
~you have a little attitude! you scrunch up your nose, and squeal when you want more food, when you want your brother out of your face, or when you want something that I won't let you have!
~you love to pat pat your Bible! and you pat pat as a lefty!

Well, a little tardy, but we had a good Father's Day! We spent time with both our dads and then Jonathan got some time with just his boys! Jonathan and Dylan went to the golf course Sunday afternoon for some special time. Honestly, their favorite place to be together!

ALMOST 3!
Dylan will be 3 in two short months. We can totally tell, in good ways and in bad! He has hit a true jealous phase with his brother, and I have to watch them carefully to make sure that Dylan isn't too rough with him. He has started protesting at nap time. Lately, some days he naps, some days he doesn't. He looks more and more like his daddy each day. He is oozing with personality, vocabulary, and energy. He keeps us laughing. For example, the Waffle House is the "awful place". He loves the "tractor song" (Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean), the "woo-woo song" (Springsteen by Eric Church), the "Biebs" (Boyfriend by Justin Beiber), and that one makes mommy smile! And he can sing them all!
