*And tons of playtime, cuddle time, watching brother, laughing @ brother in between!

Stats: 
18lb. 4oz.  28 1/2 inches long  *You aren't packing on the pounds, just getting longer!

Fun things you are up to:
*You can roar like a lion! 7-9-12
*You have your top left tooth! 7-17-12

Sweetness!

*You make a froggy gulp in your throat just like your cousin Logan did! 7-7-12
*If we ask, "Where is the light?", you look up!
*Your favorite thing to play with is the plastic bin of Dylan's hot wheel cars and figurines!
*When you get excited you stick your arms straight out and open and close your hands like "Gimmee!"

*You have the "GRUNT AND LEAN" which is your way to tell us what you need.  You grunt and lean your whole body sideways.  It can mean: eat, get down, hold me, let me sleep.
*You also like to throw your body backwards and yelp if we aren't giving you what you want. (Yikes!)
*You can grow, grow, grow to the Bible class song!
*You like to throw your toys in Bible class, and at home!
*You get so excited about toys, more than your brother ever did!

*You say: Ba-ba-ba, Da-da-da, Ma-ma-ma (and I think you know what it means!)
*You are getting lots more hair.  It is light brown and gets really curly when you get sweaty!
*You love your papi and blankie so very much!
*You are still army crawling everywhere and man are you fast!

 Army crawl-in-action!

*You love to watch Nelli!

*You absolutely love reading books, just like your big brother.  You love the touch and feel books and you already try to turn the pages.  You like to read FAST!

Caleb, you have a great personality. You are at the age of great discovery.  Everything is new and exciting.  I sometimes think your chubby cheeks might burst from all of your smiling!  You are incredibly laid back.  You sat on our lap at the Traveler's baseball game for almost 2 hours and never made a peep!  You love to cuddle.  You make us smile and sometimes Mommy wants to bottle you up at this age and make time stand still!
