We kicked off our summer reading program at our local library. Today the Fire Department came and talked to the kids about fire safety. STOP, DROP, AND ROLL! They showed a firemen all dressed out in his fireproof suit. I loved the fact that they did this. I hear too many times of children being afraid of the firemen, so I think it is important to see them in a non-stressful situation. Dylan was not scared. He thought the mask was cool! He asked several times during the presentation, "Can we go see the fire truck?" We made fireman hats complete with sparkles, and got to check out the fire truck! He even wanted his picture made with the REAL fireman! We picked out a few books, and a movie about REAL fire trucks! A huge thank you to my mom for taking care of the baby so that I could do this one on one thing for Dylan! Here's to summer!
We are having a great Saturday morning! I can't believe Caleb is sitting up so well. He is SO into toys now! He also tries to grab or scoot to anything his brother is doing! Dylan is enjoying our version of Go Fish! He makes matches and mostly makes incorrect ones and thinks its hysterical. Headed to the golf course at lunchtime for my Uncle Mike's Memorial Golf Tournament, then to our cousins baby shower tonight! We love family days!
We are having a day at home. I think it is the first morning we have relaxed in a while. Caleb had fever, 101-102, on Monday. The Dr said it was a fever virus. So, Dylan went with Pop to work Monday and then to Searcy with Pop and Mawmaw on Tuesday. They fished at the farm and visited Uncle Mac. He gave Dylan the Sponge Bob tie and yes, he proudly wore it yesterday to Target! Caleb was back to normal yesterday! He only ran the fever on Monday but now Dylan is running 99-100. He doesn't act miserable like the baby did. Wish us luck all cooped up till we are fever free!! We are discovering toys we forgot we had at our house! Kinda refreshing!
Seriously, how is this little baby doll 7 months old?
5-24-12
Caleb, here are your 7 month milestones:
-You weigh 17lbs. 6 oz. (That's one pound gained in one month!)
-You recognize your name!
-You can put your papi in your mouth all by yourself!
-You can sit up UNASSISTED! And you are getting better at balancing, but we still keep close by for those times when you topple over :)
Look at that fuzzy hair-do!
-You reach for the people that you want to hold you!
-In the last two weeks, you have become seriously attached to Mommy. You cry when I leave the room or your line of sight. You sometimes cling to me when someone else reaches out to hold you like, "Are you kidding, I'm not coming to you!"
-You do your own version of a scoot it army crawl if I put you down and you see something you want out of reach! It is so cute!
-You are into solid foods big time! We didn't start until 6 months, but you have tried avocados, sweet potatoes, and green peas. Bananas are next on the menu! You eat 2 meals a day. Lunch: veggie/fruit and some rice cereal. Supper: Rice cereal
Sweet potatoes, YUM!
The not-so-sure avocado face :)
-You still nurse 4 times a day. Mommy has started giving you a bottle at your morning feeding because you are so pokey and SLOW!
-You have started with the sweetest little talk! You say: "Dada" "Wawa""Yaya" and I am pretty sure yesterday I heard "Mama"
-You smack your lips and still love to blow/vibrate those lips and spit!
-You take 2-3 naps a day. You sleep for 10 hours at night!
-You LOVE your brother and LOVE to take baths with him! You laugh at him when he makes a silly snake noise!
We had amazing time at the beach! We stayed in a new condo that was great for our family. It had 2 outdoor pools, 2 outdoor hot tubs, and an indoor pool. Dylan experienced THE TRACK for the first time and I think he would have rode go karts all night! That's a beach vacation tradition his dad started as a youngster. My parents arrived a few days into our trip and stayed with us. We were also there at the same time as Jonathan's family so we spent time with them, too! Caleb seemed to be a beach bum for his 1st trip! Another water baby sounds good to me! Enjoy the pictures!

He LOVED the go karts and still asks to go to that place so he can go round and round again!
I've been married to my best friend for 13 years. We have two healthy boys and couldn't imagine life without them. D-Man is energetic, tender-hearted, and always on the go! C-Biz is laid back, a Mommy's boy, and loves to eat! I thank God first and foremost for the blessings He has given my family.
