Oak Glen and Bates Nut Farm

A few weeks ago we took Caleb to Oak Glen where we fed some deer. Caleb loved the deer and kept saying, "ooo" the whole time. We also, this past weekend, went to Bates Nut Farm where Caleb pet some animals and posed with some pumpkins! He was so busy inspecting the pumpkins it was hard to get him to look up for the camera, but eventually he warmed up to smiling for me.

Excited to feed some deer!

11 Months Old!

Caleb boy is almost two weeks shy of being a big one year old! So crazy. Caleb has become my little parrot. He mimics sounds and words and it is so cute to hear his little voice. He says mama, dada, "ba" for ball, makes a noise like "bum bum" when he pushes his toy cars, and will make the sound of an elephant, sheep, dog, and cow. He also opens and closes his mouth to show what a fishy says. Just yesterday he started saying "bye" and began clapping! I was so excited for him to clap. I've clapped with him so many times, but he has just not seemed interested in doing it. However, yesterday Grandpa was clapping with him and Caleb just started doing it. It's so cute to watch him learn. He will jabber for long periods of time as if telling a story and loves to point at things. He also throws his hands up when prompted with saying "touchdown!". Daddy is teaching him early to be a football fan. He can stand without holding onto anything for awhile and will take up to two or three steps before falling down. He is so much fun and brings a lot of joy.

Cutie!

 I forgot to put this on him as a newborn so it turned into a hat and cape
