I have yet to post Caleb's 9 month pictures and tomorrow he'll be 10 months...geesh! Where does the time go?? Here are a few pictures of the last month. We have had lots of activities going on...basketball season has started, my grandparents came to visit, had several birthdays, and our yearly tradition of going to Campbell's Pumpkin Patch. We visited there today and had a blast even though we froze the entire time. I somehow left Caleb's hat at home so I wrapped his head in my purple scarf...sorry Caleb.
Caleb is now walking!!! He took his first step on September 2nd. He took 15 steps in a row on September 26th. He still crawls sometimes because he can crawl at lightning speed. So life is busy!! He now has 6 teeth and is back to waking up at night :( ugh. I am now nursing only 3 times a day and he has started drinking milk. So much for following the recommendations!!!! He loves milk and now we have 2 children eating us out of the house. Caleb loves bread and cheese. He eats a lot of other things and really does great with vegetables (sadly, he doesn't love strawberries yet) but really loves bread and cheese.
Josh is so much more energetic and talkative. We videotaped him last week at lunch where he made up a story about "Buddy and Tiny" (a couple dinosaurs on The Dinosaur Train - he builds his own out of blocks and carries them around). His story went on for probably 5 minutes. Hilarious. So to say he loves stories is an understatement. The new way to get him to go to bed and not whine is to tell him we will set the timer for 10 minutes and then if he's not asleep we will tell him another story :) Now he says "you go set the timer and if I'm not asleep you tell me 2 stories!" I am actually surprised he hasn't called for us yet. But I think he must fall asleep pretty quickly.
We are so blessed! We love our boys!
Caleb's 9 month pictures
My grandparents came to visit and brought the boys a couple new toys and a new book. It meant so much for them to make the trip over and spend time with the boys. The boys sure loved having them come!
A picture of our little guy walking.
Love these 2 big boys.
If you say "How big is Caleb?" he will hold his hands up like this for "SO BIG".
Monkey see, monkey do. Caleb had this duck in his mouth so Josh didn't want to be left out. They make each other laugh all the time.
And a picture from today at the pumpkin patch. It was freezing.
Caleb is always trying to grab something.
And this smile just melts my heart. He's a sweetheart.
Look closely...they are BOTH crying. About a minute earlier they were reversed and Josh lost his balance and whacked his nose on the pumpkin's eye hole...got a little bloody nose. Then we bribed him with a cookie to do it again so I could try and get both of their faces and eventually he wanted no part. Caleb is crying also because he just bumped his head on the pumpkin. Oh well...I tried. We had a great time though!!
And below is a flashback to when we took Josh for the first time...at 7 months. We put Caleb in the same outfit today (if you didn't pick up on that) so that we could see the difference. It's a HUGE difference. Josh is an enormous 7 month old :) But a cute one.
