More Auntie Pics.....




These are more pictures that Auntie Michelle took. We were in the car driving Auntie to the airport so that she could fly back to Vancouver...:(
And this picture is funny to me. Caleb must have been REALLY tired when he was eating his applesauce....

Crabtree Valley Mall 'Rides'


Here we all are at Crabtree Valley mall and Caleb loves the little 'rides' they have there. Not super exciting but enough to keep this 16-month old happy.

Whoa!...what's Auntie Michelle doing back there??!!


It'll be another 15 years before Caleb will be in the driver's seat and both of us in the back holding on for dear life and praying that he's shoulder checking properly. :)

This Is My Flirty Face

This here is my flirty face. It must be the mark of a little future player on our hands. We're already dreading the onslaught of feminine attention that Caleb is going to attract with this flirty face of his. I suppose that they all start somewhere but isn't this a LITTLE early?

Auntie Michelle's Visit

This is the day that we were all hanging out outside for our garage sale. It was a LOT of work and we suppose it was a semi success. We have a neighbor that is potentially going to buy the entire lot of baby furniture. Crib, changing table, baby swings, exersaucer. She's starting a home day care and she only lives about 5 houses down from us. So I guess we'll have a back up in case something happens with Portia's home day care.



Here's Auntie Michelle and Caleb have a great ol' laugh...over what, we can't remember.
Caleb LOVED Auntie. He doesn't take to many people immediately, but as soon as he saw her, he loved her. He really enjoyed her visit and she was chasing him all over the house and he was thriving with all the attention.
On a side note, Caleb's got 4 molars that have broken through....so now his food repertoire can expand to include chunkier bits of chicken etc. His favourite foods right now are Chef Boyardee's tomato pastas (lasagna, ravioli, beef a roni etc.) and these toddler cheesy puffs that are really baked corn snacks made for babies. He's also really loving thinly sliced apples that I keep in the fridge with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.

Heather and Me


Here's Heather and me at her birthday dinner last week! Isn't she the cutest?
Of all the people that I've met here in Raleigh, it was funny how we both didn't think that we'd be as close as we are now when we first met. We're so different in so many ways, but she's been an amazing friend and she's always there to listen to my funnies and my woes. Her and her husband Brandon are two of the most amazing, most down to earth, most sincere and geniunely nice people that I've met down here.

Auntie Michelle is Here!

Auntie Michelle flew in late last night and she's at home taking care of Caleb today. She's only here for a few days and I wish that I could have taken today and tomorrow off, but alas, having a kid means that all your days are alotted for their sick days and doctors visits so I need to save up since I don't have very many days for 2007 (and it's only April right now!!!).

We're having a garage sale on Saturday and I'm dreading it. 1) What if too many people show up and it's hard to handle since Jay will be a work all day? 2) What if NOBODY shows up and I have to put all the crap back into the garage?? 3) It's advertised to start at 7:30am and end at noon...that's super early!! And I heard that there are the 'early bird' garage sale customers that will show up before it's supposed to start to 'grab the deals'....anytime before 7:30am on a weekend is too early for me. Hopefully, it won't be too bad. It's mostly baby clothes, some toys, Caleb's changing table, baby swings etc.

Look At Me!! I'm Feeding Myself!!!

I just needed to post these pics to show you Caleb's first attempt at feeding himself. Right now, he's refusing to be fed and insists on attempting to feed everything to himself by himself. Look at that yogurt face!!!
