The Many Things That Caleb Loves

We moved! And I got really behind in updating the blog. So for a quick catch-up, I am going to post pictures and videos from the past month or two. 


 Caleb loves taking pictures with Mama on her phone. He picks up Mama's phone and asks, "cheese?" when he wants to take a picture. 

 Caleb loves the park and play structures. He especially loves going down the slide. Unless it has been in the sun, in which case, he will sit/stand at the top and tell you "hot" and refuse to come down.

 Caleb loves the hose and watering. He runs to a hose/water when it is running and wants to be in it and in control of the hose.

 Filling up his pool and loving it.

 Stopping up the hose with your finger is so much fun!

 Caleb loves to help Dada in the yard. 

He also loves to make us laugh with his dancing. And he loves to dance to music.

He loves to smile for a cute picture

 Caleb loves books and libraries. 

 He loves to look at his books in the car and sometimes pretends to read them.

He loves to hug stuffed animals. 

He loves to eat quesadillas.

He loves to get into mischief. Here he found the flour in the pantry.

He loves the hippos at the zoo.

He loves his stuffed panda. He sleeps with it at nap and at bedtime. And it often comes with him during the day.

 It's true love.

He loves to cuddle with Mama

He loves to color...

He REALLY likes to color the walls.

He LOVES donuts...

Particularly if they are as big as his head. The bigger the better.


 He loves Bass Pro Shops. And when Dada teaches him to reel a fishing rod.

And pop guns are always a hit with Caleb, and Dada too.

Last but not least, Caleb loves to sing. My video for it isn't uploading, but it's a cute one. He's a sweet boy and we love him so much!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was such a perfect day this year. It was emotional leading up to it, as it always is, but when the actual day came, it felt peaceful and happy. I am so blessed as a mother to have two beautiful boys. The day started with visiting Joshua's tree. Caleb loved the flower shop and playing with the windchimes. After that, we went and played on swings and a slide at a nearby park. In the afternoon, Caleb practiced his golf swing with Dada.

Swinging with Mama!

Ready, set...

Silly Boy

Caleb has been learning how to smile for pictures. Here are a few of his best "cheese" faces. I think the technique is to squint your eyes and show your teeth. Except for the bath photo, he actually did a good normal smile for that one:








Beach Day

We have had some very warm weather lately and one of those days we decided to take Caleb to the beach. He had not been since his first time at 9 months old! He did not like the sand at first, but then really enjoyed dada burying his feet and uncovering them.

Jesus is Alive!


The day before Easter, Caleb brought me his Bible and learned that Jesus is alive! He wandered around the house afterwards saying  "Jesus" and "alive!" so I had to take a video. 

He carried his colored blue egg around the house and threw it a few times. That was the end of the egg.
