Caleb is two! We had a great day celebrating our sweet little boy. He started out the day with a trip to the airport to pick up Laney. Then it was to Bagel Nosh to have a "fancy" bagel (this is what the boys call a non-Sara Lee type bagel). We paid a visit to our new favorite splash pad in Fountain Hills, and then had cheeseburgers with fries and watermelon for dinner. Everyone went for a evening dip in the pool, and the kids sported their Mater lips lollipops. Then we all gave Caleb a few presents to open, sang happy birthday and let him blow out the candles on his "cookie cake". This kid definitely prefers cookies over real cake.
This picture is hysterical to me! I am so easily entertained.
He loves music. He sings while he plays, and he loves to be sung to. Before he goes to sleep I usually rock him and sing to him, he will request song after song. Favorites are "God is So Good", "Trust and Obey", "I Cast All My Cares", and "Jesus, Name Above All Names".
He is starting to ask a lot of questions. When we pull out of the driveway, he always asks, "Where we going Mama?" and at random times throughout the day, "What time is it Mama?"
He likes to be laughed at. If you laugh, he will repeat the behavior, word, or whatever until its just not funny anymore. If he tries out some new word or behavior, he will ask, "Is it funny Mama?" If it is not funny (for example, spitting), I will tell him so and he will say, "It IS funny Mama!" and then do it again.
He memorizes easily. He knows countless books by heart. I love testing him out by stopping mid-sentence when I'm reading to him and letting him say the words.
He loves my parent's dog, Chase. A little too much, yuck.
He recently figured out how to pedal and steer his little red trike.
He is not good at watching TV or movies. Pretty much hangs around for the theme song and then looses interest.
He is a puzzle whiz.
He is learning his colors, and he can count to about 14 or 15. He recognizes his name on paper.
His favorite foods are smoothies, fruit snacks, veggie baby food (weird), red meat, Taco Bell cheese roll ups, and baby carrots.
He's such a fun and clever little guy, and we're so thankful God blessed our family with his presence!
